Tips and Tricks for Making Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches
- Firm ice cream is key. Trying this trick out immediately after getting home from the grocery store will only result in a runny, mushy mess. Toss the ice cream in the freezer for at least an hour or two before beginning, overnight even if you have the time.
- Sharpen your knife. While it is just ice cream you’ll be cutting through, a sharper knife will result in a much cleaner cut as well as a photo-ready sandwich to enjoy.
- Freeze and store for later. If you’re making ice cream sandwiches to be eaten at a later time, you can freeze them on a baking sheet until firm (for at least 2 hours), then wrap with plastic wrap until airtight and toss them back in the freezer. Let thaw for 15 minutes before serving.
