I made a lemon cookie ice cream sandwiches and I’m so excited to share the results. Nothing makes me happier than when I find a way to make something at home that rivals what you’d normally buy at the store. Not all ideas pan out, but I’m happy to say that my theory worked here and I love indulging in this pocket-sized treat. You can make this lemon ice cream sandwich my way, too. Just don’t actually put it in your pocket.
Why Make Your Own Ice Cream Sandwich?
Okay. The short answer is, because you want one. Maybe you can relate but I don’t usually buy ice cream sandwiches, even though I like them a lot. I typically get a craving for just such a treat when I’m at home and I don’t have the goods! I may have supplies such as cookies and ice cream, but I never quite cracked the code on how to turn these into a cookie for ice cream sandwich until now. It’s actually really easy to do and a great way to get what you want at home without having to make an additional trip to the store.
The Joy of Lemon Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
The other reason you may prefer to make DIY cookie ice cream sandwich at home once you have learned how is all of the different custom flavours you can come up with. I chose lemon because I adore the bright citrusy taste in tandem with creamy vanilla ice cream. It’s easy to make, yet so unique. You won’t find many versions of this readily available at any store. Follow my recipe for the ice cream sandwich dessert below to make these lemon cookie ice cream sandwiches, or use the principles I lay out to make your own personalized version. For best results, let the assembled sandwiches sit for a few minutes before putting them back in the freezer. This allows the ice cream to adhere to the cookie.
