It’s National Ice Cream Month, and honestly, the timing couldn’t be better. Nothing cools you down on a scorching day like a frozen treat, and ice cream sandwiches are the perfect grab-and-go way to beat the heat.We’ve rounded up some of the most creative takes on this classic, so you can celebrate all month long.
Fruit-Swirl Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ice cream sandwiches, but make them extra with this recipe from Serious Eats. Bake one big slab of quick homemade sugar cookie, slather it with store-bought jam and ice cream, then slice into perfect sandwiches. If you end up with leftovers, they’ll keep in an airtight container for up to a month.
Lemon Berry Ice Cream Sandwiches
Talk about sunshine in dessert form! This bright recipe from The Lean Green Bean is made with lactose-free ice cream, but you can swap in your favorite vanilla if you’d like. Bake the lemon-berry bars, cool completely, and then cut into 16 squares. Scoop the ice cream between two squares to sandwich, then freeze and repeat.
Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
This no-fuss summer treat from My Baking Addiction is great for pool days, birthdays, really any day! Layer ice cream sandwiches with fudge sauce, Cool Whip, and crushed Oreos in a pan, freeze, then slice and serve like an ice cream cake. Get creative and mix it up with your favorite ice cream sandwich flavors.
PB&J Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches
Vanilla wafer cookies, creamy peanut butter, strawberry preserves, and strawberry ice cream, this treat from Laura Fuentes is basically a PB&J that got a delicious upgrade. Assemble your mini sandwiches, pop them on a baking sheet, and freeze for 30 minutes. It’s a total win for the entire family (with a side of nostalgia).
Toasted S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches
Summer’s two best treats meet in this recipe from Half Baked Harvest. Layer vanilla ice cream, fudge, and toasted marshmallows in a pan, freeze until firm, then slice and sandwich between cinnamon Graham crackers (homemade or store-bought, no shame either way).
Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches
Made with fresh homemade waffles, these ice cream sandwiches from Baking for Friends are way easier than they look — bake your waffles, add ice cream, pile on toppings, and you’re done. You can choose whatever toppings you want, but some fun ideas include fresh berries, rainbow sprinkles, caramel bits, and dark chocolate drizzle.
