Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe

Treat your family to this Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe. The basic recipe is traditional, but you can customize it with your own flavors and mix-ins!

When it comes to frozen treats, ice cream sandwiches have long been a favorite in our family. It is always a joke that the boys in the family like vanilla ice cream best, which us ladies find quite boring.

The nice thing about an ice cream sandwich is that it takes that vanilla ice cream and combines it only with a chocolate cookie, another thing the boys like.

For us girls, that addition of chocolate takes the vanilla ice cream to a whole other level and VOILA – it’s a dessert that everyone likes.

But, what is extra EXTRA good, is this Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe made from scratch! Not only are they delicious, you give yourself lots of opportunities for customization like cutting them in smaller or larger shapes, adding in some chocolate chips or sprinkles around the edges, or even changing out that boring old vanilla for your favorite flavor of ice cream.

No matter how you decide to customize them, or if you leave them traditional, you and your family will love these Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches!
