Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches Tips
How do you store homemade ice cream sandwiches?
Ice cream sandwiches can be wrapped individually in a double layer of plastic wrap and stored in your freezer for up to 3 months. If you’d like your sandwiches to look pretty, wrap each first in parchment or wax paper, tie a piece of colorful twine around it, then wrap in plastic to store in the freezer.
What’s the best way to assemble homemade ice cream sandwiches?
First, leave your ice cream out for about 20 minutes so it is soft enough to spread onto your cookies. Be sure not to overfill your sandwiches by putting on too much ice cream (tempting as it is!). Spread the ice cream to be about ½-inch to 1-inch from the edge of your cookie. Top with your second cookie, and gently press down so the ice cream comes to the edge of the sandwich. To avoid melting, wrap your ice cream sandwiches promptly as you make them, and slip them right into freezer. Chilling your cookies on a sheet tray before assembling the cookies will also help with to prevent melting. Find more tips on
