In honor of National Ice Cream Sandwich Day (Aug 2), let's talk about how to make these delicious creations at home! I mean let's be honest, is there anything better on a warm summer day than an ice cream sandwich?!
So let's get started on these delicious treats! They do require at least 3 hours in the freezer, so it's best to start assembling these sandwiches around lunchtime if you would like them for dinner!
Step 1: Grab your favorite larger size cookie. Get creative- sugar, chocolate chip, oatmeal, you get the idea! Homemade is best, but if you can't bring yourself to bake (we get it) the large cookies at Costco would be a perfect pick. They come in a variety pack too!
Step 2: Make sure your cookie is perfectly cool, otherwise the ice cream will melt! Then flip over your cookie and put a scoop of your favorite ice cream in the middle, and spread it out to the cookie edges. Gently press a second cookie on top to make the sandwich.
Step 3: Next put your favorite ice cream toppings in a bowl (ex, rainbow sprinkles, chocolate chips, crushed walnuts, mini marshmallows, mini M n Ms). It's best to use either miniature or chopped options. Then roll the cookie through your favorite toppings to cover all the ice cream showing.
Step 4: Tightly wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and stick it in the freezer. Pro tip: make each sandwich individually so you don't have melty sandwiches all over your counters!
Step 5: After at least 3 hours, take out those sandwiches and ENJOY!!
