Tips to Make the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches Perfect
- If your ice cream is still too hard to scoop when the cookies are ready, you can soften it up faster by using your hand mixer. You'll need to put the ice cream in a mixing bowl and gradually increase the speed from low to high until the ice cream is ready.
- Slightly-underbaked cookies work best for homemade ice cream sandwiches. The softness gives the cookies some flexibility when you are pressing them into ice cream. They are also easier to eat when frozen.
- Make the amount of ice cream equitable the mouth size of your intended recipient. Don't make the ice cream too thick to eat in other words.
- Before you start assembling the ice cream sandwiches, pair up your cookies according to size.
- Your assembled cookie ice cream sandwiches will need at least a few hours to firm up before serving. I recommend making them at least one day in advance for best results.
FAQ
Can I Make Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can make these up to two weeks ahead of time. Wrap them individually in parchment paper and freeze in a freezer-quality zipper bag for best results.
Can I Make a Huge Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich and cut it into wedges when I'm ready to serve?
This sounds like a really good idea at first, but cutting a frozen solid cookie and ice cream sandwich is actually much harder than it sounds. I recommend making the sandwiches in individual portion sizes as shown.
What Happens if my Cookies Are Crunchy?
Crunchy, over-baked cookies really will not work as ice cream sandwiches. Someone will break a tooth! If you accidentally over-bake cookies, give them to your kids and start fresh for cookie ice cream sandwiches.
What Kind of Ice Cream Should I Use?
Pick your family favorite! You really cannot go wrong with your choice of ice cream for this recipe. If you are celebrating a holiday, you can use specialty ice cream to match the occasion. Whether it's peppermint for Christmas or a specific color to match a theme, any ice cream will do.
