Chocolate-Marshmallow Ice Cream Sandwiches

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

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.)

Lemon Bar Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

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.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches

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.

Chocolate-Covered Cherry Ice Cream Sandwiches

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

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!). Bake a roll of peanut butter cookie dough in square-shape bites, add a mini scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, and crown it all with a dollop of your favorite fruit preserves.

  • Here are 10 more unique ways to put PB to delicious use.

Summer Fruit Crisp Ice Cream Bars

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

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.

Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Sandwiches

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

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.

These homemade ice cream cookies will really get you buzzing! The dough is infused with coffee crystals, which plays perfectly with the rich chocolate.
