I’m not much of a baker, so I am constantly trying out dessert recipes that are low impact and high reward, using anything premade that I can get my hands on to zhuzh. These ice cream sandwiches come together super quickly, and are FAB!
To keep it simple, just go ahead and buy store-bought cookies if that’s all you can give today, mama! No one’s judging here.
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ingredients
- Tates Bakeshop Soft Baked Cookies I’ve used both their Chocolate Chip and Dark Chocolate Chunk flavors- either one is amazing
- Scoop of vanilla ice cream slightly softened
- Chocolate Chips melted
- Peppermint extract optional
- Flaky Salt not optional
Instructions
- Let vanilla ice cream sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes – enough for it to be a little malleable
- While the ice cream is sitting out, melt the chocolate chips. If wanting to make a mint chocolate shell for the cookie, pour 1/2 TSP peppermint extract per 1 cup of chocolate chips (melted) and stir well – but the peppermint is optional
- Sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream between 2 cookies, press down, and using the back of a spoon, smooth out the edges
- Quickly dip half of the cookie sandwich into the melted chocolate, then lay it on a baking sheet prepped with parchment paper
- Let sit for 2-3 minutes, and sprinkle flaky salt on the chocolate
- Repeat for however many cookies you’re making
- Place the ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, until the chocolate shell is hardened and the ice cream is not too soft or melty
- Take them out of the freezer and enjoy them immediately!
