⭐Must-Have Products I Use & Recommend!⭐
I personally use and love these products in my kitchen. I only recommend what I trust!
Remember those sweltering summer afternoons? The ice cream truck jingle, a beacon of hope against the heat, always led to the same decision: a sundae. But what if you could hold that sundae in your hand, no spoon required? That's the magic of sundae ice cream sandwiches. When my little cousin, Timmy, came over last summer, he wouldn't stop talking about wanting a 'portable sundae', and honestly, I couldn't stop thinking about it either! This recipe is inspired by Timmy's vision.
This isn't your average ice cream sandwich; it's a carnival of flavors and textures, all neatly packaged between two cookies. They're surprisingly simple to make, endlessly customizable, and guaranteed to be a hit at your next picnic, BBQ, or, you know, Tuesday night.
Imagine biting into a crisp chocolate chip cookie, only to be greeted by a rush of creamy vanilla ice cream, followed by the crunch of sprinkles and the gooey delight of hot fudge sauce. Sounds pretty great, right? The possibilities are endless! Use your favorite kind of cookies, or ice cream or get crazy with the toppings. Maybe you want some caramel drizzle? Or M&Ms? What about chopped nuts? One time, I even tried a peanut butter drizzle. Whoa...talk about delicious!
The best part? You don't need to be a pastry chef to pull these off. If I can manage it, you definitely can! This recipe is all about having fun and embracing your inner child. Think of it as art therapy, but the result is edible. What could be better than that, really?

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- **Get Your Cookies Ready:** If you're baking your own cookies (and I highly recommend it!), do that first. Let them cool completely before moving on. Store-bought cookies work too, but fresh-baked will always give you that extra wow factor. If you have any homemade cookies lying around and aren't sure what to do with them, here's the answer!
- **Soften the Ice Cream:** Take your ice cream out of the freezer and let it soften slightly. You want it spreadable, but not soup. About 10-15 minutes on the counter should do the trick, depending on how warm your kitchen is. I usually set a timer so I don't forget about it!
- **Prepare Your Toppings:** This is where the fun really begins! Gather all your favorite sundae toppings: sprinkles, chocolate sauce, chopped nuts, cherries, mini marshmallows, crushed Oreos, whatever your heart desires. Have them ready in bowls for easy access. I like to line everything up so it's easier to grab everything! I recommend using a wide and flat bowl, so it is easier to roll the edges of the ice cream sandwich.
- **Assemble the Sandwiches:** Take one cookie and place it flat-side up. Scoop a generous amount of softened ice cream onto the cookie. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the ice cream evenly, making sure to cover the entire surface. I always end up using too much. Oh well!
- **Top It Off:** Gently place another cookie on top of the ice cream, flat-side down. Press down lightly to create a sandwich. Be careful not to squish all the ice cream out! You want it to be snug, but not a disaster.
- **Roll in Toppings:** Now, carefully roll the edges of the ice cream sandwich in your prepared toppings. Press gently to help the toppings adhere. This part can get a little messy, but that's part of the fun! Think of it as getting your hands dirty with a purpose. If you have kids, they'll love helping with this step.
- **Freeze for Later (or Eat Now!):** Wrap each sundae ice cream sandwich individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This will help prevent them from melting too quickly when you eat them. If you can't wait, go ahead and devour one right away! I won't judge! Make sure the freezer is cold enough, otherwise they won't freeze, and that would be a shame.
