Gargantuan Homemade Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies

Spring is officially here! And although it is still cold where I'm from (cold is 70 degrees or lower for me), it still feels fitting to post my homemade Ice Cream Sandwich pics! Hooray these remind me of a time when I won't have to dress in long johns and wool socks! The ice cream sandwich is extremely versatile and can be tweaked to tickle anyones taste buds, and SO easy to make! Not to mention a great activity for you and the kids, or anyone! (we're all kids at heart right?) So whether you call it a monaco bar, maxibon cookie, slider, or just plain old ice cream sandwich-y goodness, why not whip some of these bad boys out this spring/summer and reap the benefits of a great dessert without all the elbow grease, yuck! ;)

the easy how to:

Bake or buy a batch of your favorite cookies, (notice these plump cookies from anywhere? my last post?) ;)  fill with your favoite ice cream, (don't be afraid to mix things up; ice cream and cookies..you can't go wrong) making homemade ice cream would kick this recipe up a notch even! Then, coat the sides with sprinkles, chocolate chunks, chopped nuts, candied ginger - try it! or any ingredient that makes your tummy nummy. Freeze on a tray until firm, then wrap tightly in wax paper (or foil) and stack in an airtight container. Delicious anytime, anywhere!



The white and brown fluffy stuff in here is actually homemade vanilla and chocolate whipping cream, which tastes great and really holds its shape frozen. I also added some dark chocolate shavings cause, you know how I do :P
