Prep: 20 minTotal: 20
Servings: 6 ice cream sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

  • 12 cookies (Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies or Monster Cookies)
  • 1 1/2 cups ice cream of choice, just soft enough to scoop (dairy-free ice cream if needed)
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate bar
  • 1/3 cup crushed pretzels (gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped salted nuts (optional)
  • Plastic wrap

Instructions

  1. Gather ingredients and set up the ice cream sandwich making station in this order: Cookies (must be cooled) –> Ice cream and scoop –> plate or shallow bowl of chocolate chips, pretzels and optional nuts –> then the plastic wrap.
  2. Scoop about 1/4 cup of ice cream on the bottom of a cookie. Top with another cookie and with the palm of the hand gently press the top cookie down slightly to sandwich. Smooth ice cream out with fingers if needed.
  3. Roll sandwich in pretzels, chocolate chips and optional nut or use hands to press into the ice cream.
