A quick and simple recipe for creamy ice cream sandwiches using store-bought cookies and your favorite ice cream, perfect for a refreshing summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large store-bought cookies (chocolate chip, oatmeal, double chocolate, or snickerdoodle)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) of your favorite ice cream, slightly softened (vanilla bean, chocolate, mint chocolate chip, salted caramel, etc.)
  • Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, rainbow sprinkles, crushed nuts, shredded coconut
  • Parchment paper for wrapping and freezing

Instructions

  1. Soften the ice cream by scooping it into a mixing bowl and letting it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes until spreadable but not melted.
  2. Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Place one cookie flat-side up on the workspace. Use a spoon or small scoop to place about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of softened ice cream on top.
  4. Spread the ice cream evenly but gently with a spatula or butter knife.
  5. Place a second cookie on top, flat-side down, pressing lightly to spread the ice cream evenly to the edges without squeezing it out.
  6. If desired, roll the edges of the sandwiches in optional toppings like sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or crushed nuts.
  7. Place the assembled sandwiches on the lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
  8. Once firm, wrap each sandwich individually in parchment paper or plastic wrap and store in an airtight container or freezer bag.
  9. Before serving, let the sandwiches sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften slightly for a creamy bite.

Notes

Do not over-soften the ice cream to avoid melting; use thicker, sturdier cookies for best results; roll edges in toppings for added texture and to prevent melting; freeze sandwiches for at least 1 hour to maintain shape; let sit a few minutes before eating for perfect creaminess.
