Ice Cream

Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich

I’ve been brainstorming some dessert ideas to make for my Valentine this year immediately thought to combine his two favorite things – ice cream and cookies. Selfishly I love this recipe because it doesn’t require any baking.

These ice cream sandwiches are a festive treat that you can customize for any occasion and you likely already have half of the ingredients in your kitchen!

– Chewy Chips Ahoy cookies
– Ice cream of choice
– Melting chocolate
– Sprinkles

 

  • Gather your cookies and ice cream of choice. Be sure to use a softer cookie like the Chewy Chips Ahoy cookies – remember the cookies will harden when you freeze them later.

  • Place a small spoonful of the ice cream on the cookie and level it out before sandwiching it with another cookie. Immediately place in the freezer to harden.

  • Once the sandwiches have hardened, assemble the melting chocolate and sprinkles. Quickly coat the sandwiches in chocolate followed by sprinkles and stick back in the freezer.

Ice Cream Cookie Cups

Day 1 of a new juice cleanse and I’m drooling looking back on these scrumptious ice cream sundae cups I made last weekend.

Cookie + ice cream + melted chocolate.. I think the mouthwatering picture says it all.

One of the best parts about this dessert is that it’s not supposed to be super “pretty” or clean cut – the messier, the better! So pile on as many marshmallows and M&M’s as your little heart desires.

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Combine 3-4 generous tablespoons of cookie dough into a ball and place into a non-stick muffin tin. Roll the remaining dough and distribute until entire muffin tin is full.*Add more cookie dough for a thicker cookie cup.

2. Bake cookie cups for about 13 minutes or until golden brown. Pull your tray out and immediately take a spice jar and gently press into each cookie. This should form a little “crater” where the ice cream will sit.

3. Let the cups cool for 10 minutes. Take your ice cream of choice and place a mini scoop in the cookie cup. My ice cream started to melt pretty fast so after I scooped all the ice cream I stuck the tray in the freezer for about 10 minutes before adding my toppings.

4. Before taking the tray out of the freezer make sure your chocolate is melted and all toppings are laid out. To make things easier, pull out each cup and set on a flat plate or pan before decorating.

5. Take a spoon and drench your ice cream cookie cups with chocolate and as many toppings as you can find! When finished, place desserts in the freezer for an additional 10 minutes before serving. – that is if you can get that far before sticky little fingers grab them : )
