Something so simple… something so good! I made these mini ice cream sandwiches for July 4th. They only take a few minutes to throw together (plus add in some freezer time). They disappear in seconds.
I used smaller chocolate chip cookies. Of course, you could use bigger cookies and make these not-so-mini ice cream sandwiches.
Make A Bunch. Make Them Different.
Next time I’ll try a different ice cream. Probably mint chocolate chip. And I might dip them in chocolate shell. Oh man, that’s a great idea! I wish I had some chocolate shell in the house!
If you’re making these for a crowd, I’d make a number of different variations so everyone can get one that they like. Chocolate. Vanilla. Strawberry. Etc.
Also make some homemade red velvet Klondike bars. They’re a bit more trouble but oh so worth it!
Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches
Equipment
Ingredients
- ice cream
- crushed nuts
- chocolate chip cookies
Instructions
- Let the ice cream soften just a bit.
- Spread the nuts out on a large plate.
- Scoop ice cream on a cookie bottom. You want enough so that it just sticks out around the edges when you press the other cookie down on top of it. If you have to, run a knife along the edges to smooth them a little.
- Roll the edges in the nuts, pressing down slightly.
- Wrap in small pieces of foil or plastic wrap and return to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to harden.
