Instructions

Put your toppings into individual bowls.

Turn a cookie upside-down and put a scoop of ice cream onto it.

Place another cookie on top, right-side-up, pressing gently.

Use a knife or icing spatula to even out any ice cream that has come out of the sandwich.

Roll into the topping of your choice.

If it doesn’t seem to stick, use your hand to press the topping onto the ice cream.

Place the finished ice cream sandwich on a cookie sheet covered with a piece of parchment paper.

Put in the freezer for 10-20 minutes to harden.

Store by wrapping each ice cream sandwich in a piece of parchment paper and place in a gallon freezer storage bag.

Store ice cream sandwiches for a few weeks.

When you are ready to have one, place it on a plate at room temperature for a few minutes before eating, as the cookies will be hard.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Softening Strategy 🍦
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-7 minutes before assembling sandwiches to ensure easy spreading and perfect texture.
Topping Technique 🌈
Roll the edges of your ice cream sandwiches in a mix of crushed nuts, sprinkles, and mini chocolate chips for a professional-looking and extra-crunchy finish.
Freezing Hack ❄️
Freeze the assembled sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure they hold their shape and don't fall apart.
Cookie Selection Pro 🍪
Choose sturdy, flat cookies like chocolate chip or sugar cookies that are slightly firm to prevent soggy sandwiches and provide the best structural integrity.
Portion Control Trick 📏
Use a cookie cutter or round glass to create perfectly uniform ice cream discs that match your cookie size exactly for a professional presentation.
