These Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies are the perfect no-bake dessert for warm days or when you need a simple yet impressive treat. Creamy mint and strawberry ice cream are layered between crisp, chocolate-dipped cookies for a dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. Perfect for special gatherings or a quick snack from the freezer.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base:

  • 12 round, sturdy cookies (e.g., oatmeal or digestive biscuits)
  • 1 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate (melted)

Ice Cream Filling:

  • 1 pint mint ice cream (softened slightly)
  • 1 pint strawberry ice cream (softened slightly)

Optional Garnishes:

  • 1/2 cup crushed nuts or sprinkles

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cookies

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave (20-second intervals, stirring each time) or using a double boiler.
  • Dip one side of each cookie in melted chocolate. Let excess drip off, then place cookies on the baking sheet.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

2. Assemble the Sandwiches

  • Place one cookie (chocolate side down) on a flat surface.
  • Add a 1/3 cup scoop of mint ice cream. Flatten it gently with a spoon or spatula.
  • Top with another cookie (chocolate side up) and press lightly to secure.
  • Repeat with strawberry ice cream to create a mix of flavors.

3. Freeze for Stability

  • Arrange the completed sandwiches back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  • Freeze for at least 1 hour to allow the ice cream to firm up.

4. Garnish (Optional)

  • Roll the ice cream edges in crushed nuts or sprinkles for extra flair before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve stacked on a plate for a charming presentation. Pair with a scoop of extra ice cream for added appeal.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Let the ice cream soften just slightly before scooping to make assembly easier. Avoid letting it melt too much.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for dipping—it makes a big difference in flavor.

Storage:

  • Wrap sandwiches individually in parchment paper or plastic wrap. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 7 days.
  • Let sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
