Ice cream sandwiches have really been on my brain lately…and not just because some are suddenly not melting.
It’s probably because recently, in a “treat yo’ self” moment, I picked up some Trader Joe’s Mini Mint Ice Cream Mouthfuls. And yes, they are delicious. I’ve been eating one every few days or so as a little after-dinner snack.
So, I started thinking about how simple it really is to make an Ice Cream Sammy, especially if you already have cookies on hand.
Here’s how I made mine:
- Take two leftover cookies (I used some Chai Tea Cookies) and put about a tablespoon or so of vanilla (or any flavor you like) of ice cream on one cookie. Then, gently press the other side on top, wrap in plastic wrap and put straight back into the freezer.
- Let the cookie freeze for at least 30 minutes, then unwrap and enjoy!
My Ice Cream Sammy with the Chai Cookies tasted like pumpkin pie with whipped cream because of all the tasty spices.
If you need another excuse to make some cookies, here you go!
If you end up making your own Ice Cream Sammy concoction, I would love to hear about it or see pictures, so tag me if you do (@thinkfruitful on Instagram, Think Fruitful on Facebook and @gracepenn on Twitter).
