My friend Janet first introduced me to the concept of homemade ice cream sandwiches. She uses graham wafers or any other simple cookies...
She sandwiches a thick layer of ice cream between two cookies.
Then she wraps the sandwiches in waxed paper - and keeps them in the freezer.
They taste as good as store-bought ones... sometimes, even better.
I recently was intrigued by this seller of gourmet ice cream sandwiches - at the Carp Farmers Market...
She had a variety of chocolate chip or butter cookies, with both vanilla and chocolate ice cream filling sandwiched between them. She even had "mixed" sandwiches - different types of cookies on the two sides of the sandwich...
The day was warm and sunny. She was doing a brisk business!!
Chocolate-lover that I am, I chose chocolate chocolate-chip cookies (on both sides) with chocolate ice cream in the center!
I was NOT disappointed!!
Maybe I'll try to make them sometime! They would make a delicious dessert treat!
Those look amazing, you can't beat a good homemade Ice Cream sandwich. A healthy suggestion for the "bun" is a Deep Chocolate VitaTop. This is a 100 calorie muffin top which is packed with vitamins and minerals, 38% of your daily fiber and 4 grams of protein!
