Our Best Ice Cream Sandwiches

S’mores + candy bars + chocolate cake = a recipe for guaranteed dessert deliciousness. All three combine in our irresistible ice cream cookie sandwich recipe! Rather than starting from scratch, the cookies are based on chocolate cake mix, while the chocolate ice cream gets a semihomemade twist with the addition of chopped Twix bars. Layer both with a schmear of marshmallow creme, and dessert is done. (No campfire required.)

Tart, tangy, and totally refreshing, this ice cream sandwich dessert starts with a simple sugar cookie bar recipe. Spread the baked bar cookies with vanilla ice cream swirled with lemon curd, then stack on the second cookie layer and freeze. For a final mouth-puckering punch, coat in crushed lemon candies.

If you like peanut butter cups, you’ll melt over these rich ice cream cookie sandwiches. The dessert sammies include a sweet “condiment”: peanut butter-flavor chocolate. To really amplify the nutty qualities, opt for butter pecan or peanut butter ice cream for the filling.

No need to fight over that last chocolate-covered cherry in the box of chocolates. This ice cream cookie sandwich features the same sweet flavors in a cool and creamy treat that’s dipped in a homemade chocolate shell.

Tip: We call for cherry ice cream, but you could also start with vanilla (or chocolate if you’re really craving cocoa) and stir in fresh fruit if you prefer.

It’s like your favorite lunch box sandwich just got taken to new decadent heights. These PB&J Ice Cream Sandwiches look like you spent loads of time bringing them to life, but the supermarket does most of the work for you (our little secret!).

This Grilled Donut Ice Cream Sandwich has nearly endless possibilities. Choose your donut (glazed, cake, sprinkle-coated...anything goes!), slice in half, and toss it on the grill. Then snag your favorite flavor of ice cream. Sandwich a scoop and a drizzle of chocolate sauce between the warm and toasty bakery goody. All that’s left to do is dive in.

We're taking a few liberties by categorizing these bars as ice cream sandwiches. But as long as you pack in the crumble nice and tight, you can absolutely eat these ice cream treats with your hands! For even more sweetness, amp up your strawberry or peach ice cream recipe with pieces of fresh fruit.

Who says cookies get to have all the ice cream treat fun? This chocolate-cherry dessert amps up the splurge factor even more with tender chocolate cupcake halves in the starring role.

Tip: Make these ice cream sandwiches your own by customizing with your favorite nuts and flavor of jam.

No need to sweat over homemade ice cream cookies. No one will notice that you didn’t DIY when you dress up sugar cookie dough with cinnamon and sugar. Shredded coconut does a stellar job disguising store-bought vanilla ice cream, too. Roll in crushed cornflakes (we also devoured one version with sweetened cinnamon toast-flavor wheat and rice cereal) for the just-right amount of crunch.

Introducing the best South-of-the-Border ice cream sandwich! Cinnamon-sugar churros act as the “bun” on this cookie sandwich. Add a scoop of vanilla or dulce de leche ice cream between two for a warmly spiced Mexican-inspired delight.
