Description
These ice cream sandwiches are bursting with chocolate and fruity raspberry flavor. The crispy cookie is the perfect companion to the melt-y ice cream.
Instructions
- Use 1 batch of the thin and crispy cookies cut into 4 inch circles. Make sure they are fully cooled before assembling the ice cream sandwiches.
- Allow ice cream to sit out for 10 to 15 minutes to soften for it to be easy to scoop.
- Line a ¼ cup measuring cup with plastic wrap. Scoop ¼ cup amount of ice cream (about the amount that will fit in a round ice cream scoop) into the measuring cup, squish it down and smooth it out with the back of a spoon. Wrap the plastic wrap over the ice cream so that it is completely covered. Remove the plastic-wrapped ice cream disc from the measuring cup and place it into the freezer and allow to chill for 30 minutes, or until mostly set. Repeat this step until you have made 6 to 8 ice cream discs.
- Once the ice cream discs have chilled remove them from the freezer. Carefully remove the plastic wrap from each ice cream disc and place the disc on a cookie. Top the ice cream disc with another cookie and use the flat of your palm to smoosh the ice cream to the edges of the cookies. Repeat this process with the remainder of the ice cream sandwiches. Place the sandwiches back into the freezer for 15 minutes, or until partially set.
- Remove the ice cream sandwiches and use a clean finger, or the back of a spoon to smooth out the edges of the ice cream. I found it easiest to use my finger; it helped to warm the ice cream a little. Serve immediately or place the sandwiches back into the freezer. Store them in an airtight container or large freezer-safe bag for up to 2 weeks, but they are best when fresh.
- Allow the ice cream sandwiches to sit out for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are slightly softened before serving. If you are impatient, you can heat them in the microwave for 8 to 10 seconds.
Notes
If you aren’t concerned about the shape of the ice cream sandwiches, you could simply scoop some softened ice cream onto a cookie, place the second cookie on top of the ice cream and smoosh it together. Place it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until set, and call it a day.
Prep time includes freezing time.
