Ingredients

  • Cookies or biscuits
  • Chocolate chip chocolate wafers, digestive-style cookies—use whatever you love. Just make sure they’re sturdy enough to hold ice cream without falling apart like your willpower.
  • Ice cream
  • Vanilla is classic but chocolate, strawberry, or cookies-and-cream also slap. Slightly softened works best—rock-solid ice cream is not your friend here.
  • Optional coating or add-in
  • Mini chocolate chips sprinkles, crushed nuts, or cookie crumbs. Technically optional, but emotionally necessary.

Instructions

  • Let the ice cream soften slightly.
  • Pull it out of the freezer for about 5–10 minutes. You want spreadable, not soup. If it’s dripping, you waited too long—no judgment.
  • Lay out half your cookies.
  • Place them flat-side up on a tray lined with parchment paper. This makes assembly smoother and cleanup easier.
  • Add the ice cream.
  • Scoop or spread a generous layer of ice cream onto each cookie. Be bold here—thin ice cream layers are sad layers.
  • Top with remaining cookies.
  • Gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich. Don’t smash it like you’re angry. Slow and steady wins.
  • Roll the edges (optional but fun).
  • Roll the sides in sprinkles, chocolate chips, or crumbs. This is where you unlock “dessert architect” status.
  • Freeze until firm.
  • Place the sandwiches in the freezer for at least 1 hour. This helps everything set and makes them easier to eat without chaos.
