Premium Ingredients = Recipes that WOW
We know that when you are feeding the people you love, you want to give them the best. That’s why using the best ingredients in our recipes is so important to us. The things to focus on when making a homemade ice cream sandwich recipe are:
The cookies. Use your favorite cookie recipe to make the ice cream sandwich cookie base for your ice cream sandwiches. We like to keep it traditional with our Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies. For your ice cream sandwich recipe, bake them a few minutes less than usual so that when you freeze them, they won’t get too crispy and fall apart when you eat. We also make the cookies a little larger than usual, so you can fit more ice cream in the middle.
The ice cream. Use your favorite brand and flavor of ice cream (or make your own). We like to opt for brands that use real ingredients. For this ice cream sandwich recipe, we used chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, but vanilla, chocolate, chocolate chip or butter pecan would all work well.
How to Make Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
First, make the cookies. Be sure to make them large enough to hold ice cream and don’t overbake them. They need to be slightly chewy for the best ice cream sandwich cookie experience.
Cool the cookies completely. If you add ice cream to warm cookies, you’ll have a melty mess on your hands.
Scoop the ice cream. Use a full size ice cream scoop to add ice cream to one of your cookies and then place the other ice cream sandwich cookie on top.
Put the ice cream sandwiches in the freezer. You’ll want to firm up the ice cream sandwiches before you eat them; this typically takes about 30 minutes.
Pretzel-tastic Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe Variations
- Fruit Forward - Use traditional sugar cookie dough studded with Sweet Chili OMG! Pretzels and strawberry ice cream. The fruit perfectly balances the slight heat from the pretzel nuggets.
- Mexican Chocolate - Use thin brownies as the cookie for this ice cream sandwich recipe and fill it with chocolate ice cream that you mix Sweet & Spicy OMG! Pretzels into. The chewy brownies and crunchy pretzel nuggets give the dessert great texture, and the hint of cayenne kicks things up a notch!
