Linda's Ice Cream Sandwiches

Here's a great way to make your own ice cream sandwiches!!! If you can't find the Nabisco Chocolate Wafer Cookies in your store (check near the ice cream toppings, as it seems they are sometimes in an odd place in the store), you can use my recipe for Chocolate Wafer Cookies (Like Nabisco Chocolate Wafer Cookies), to make these yummy treats! The kids and "Big Kids" will be smiling ear to ear while having one of these! Try rolling the finished sandwiches in mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed nuts, M&M's, or your favorite candy bar, then freezing. You can also use these in making an Ice Cream Sandwich Cake for a special treat or Birthday! NOTE: Preparation time does NOT include time to soften the ice cream. Add on at least 1/2 hr. for that to your preparation time. Cooking time is chilling time. Make sure once you make these you let them sit in the freezer for AT LEAST 2 hours before serving, so the ice cream has a chance to harden.

18 ice cream sandwiches (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 36 chocolate wafer cookies (Nabisco Chocolate Wafer Cookies (or see my recipe for Chocolate Wafer Cookies (Like Nabisco Chocolat)
  • 1/2 gallon ice cream, softened (your favorite)

Directions

  1. 1
    Soften the ice cream until it is easily spreadable.
  2. 2
    Top one half of cookie with some ice cream (at least 1" thick), then put another cookie on top. (Press down easy, so you don't crack the cookies).
  3. 3
    Continue making the sandwiches until you are done.
  4. 4
    If you are decorating the sides with your favorite nuts, candies or candy bars, do so now by rolling the sandwich, in the treat of your choice, all the way around.
  5. 5
    Wrap each ice cream sandwich in saran wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

I made Chocolate Wafer Cookies (Like Nabisco Chocolate Wafer Cookies) for the cookies to make the ice cream sandwiches and everyone, including my neighbors loved these ice cream treats! We used French Vanilla ice cream for the insides then rolled in chocolate sprinkles. Great for those long hot summer days!

    So easy and great filled with your favorite ice cream. I love the cookies by themselves, but filled with ice cream is awesome. I dipped the edges in finely chopped pecans and they were so good!

    These are so much fun to whip up and enjoy on these hot summer days and nights! I have been known to eat a few in front of the tv and out by the pool too! I make them with chocolate chip ice cream, my favorite!

    I have made these a couple of times now, as the kids love them so much! I use Chocolate Wafer Cookies (Like Nabisco Chocolate Wafer Cookies) for the cookie part, and they are great! I can't keep them in the freezer! Make sure you keep them in the freezer for at least the 2 hrs. so they firm up good, before serving. These will be made real often with all us ice cream lovers here! We love dipping them in chocolate sprinkles and mini chips. Thank you!
