The perfect summer dessert.. make ice cream sandwiches from scratch with me!
Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Ingredients
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 2 cups whole milk
* 3/4 cup cane sugar
* 2 TBSP vanilla extract
* 1/2 tsp sea salt
* 2 egg yolks
Ice cream sandwiches recipe:
Makes 6 large (shareable) ice cream sandwiches
Start by combining these:
1 stick butter, room temp
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1 egg
Then add these:
1 1/4 cup einkorn flour (or 1 cup regular all purpose flour)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup whole milk
Preheat oven to 350. Scoop 12 scoops of batter onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Try to flatten them as you don’t want a round cookie for the top and bottom. Also try to make them about the same size each.
Bake 350 for 10 minutes. Remove and place tray in the freezer 15-20 minutes to cool down.
Assemble the sandwiches. Note: it’s helpful to use your hands to shape the ice cream inside the cookie sandwich. However, once you touch the ice cream, you have about 10 seconds until it starts melting, so work quickly!
Wrap each one up in plastic and store in the freezer to enjoy later!
Note: At my local store, an ice cream sandwich with high quality ingredients (no corn syrup or artificial flavoring or coloring) costs $7 for one this size. So, that’s $7 X 6 = worth of ice cream sandwiches, made at a fraction of the cost and healthy for you too!
