Patriotic Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches (Printable Version)

Bite-sized vanilla ice cream sandwiches rolled in patriotic red, white, and blue sprinkles for festive summer celebrations.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cookies

01 - 24 mini chocolate chip cookies (store-bought or homemade)

→ Filling

02 - 1 pint (2 cups) premium vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

→ Decoration

03 - 1/2 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles

# Method:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking during freezing.
02 - Place half of the cookies, flat side up, on the prepared baking tray.
03 - Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, place one scoop of slightly softened vanilla ice cream onto each cookie.
04 - Top each ice cream portion with a second cookie, pressing gently to form a sandwich without crushing the cookies.
05 - Immediately roll the sides of each sandwich in the red, white, and blue sprinkles to coat the exposed ice cream edges.
06 - Place the completed sandwiches back on the tray and freeze for at least 1 hour or until completely firm.
07 - Serve directly from the freezer for best texture and enjoy immediately.

# Chef's Tips:

01 -
  • The tiny size means everyone can grab multiple without feeling guilty about portions
  • They come together faster than you can preheat the oven for actual baking
02 -
  • Work quickly once the ice cream is softened or it will start melting and making everything messy
  • The sprinkles only stick to the soft ice cream so roll them right after assembling each sandwich
03 -
  • Use a small cookie scoop for consistent portion sizes and neater sandwiches
  • If the ice cream gets too soft pop the whole tray in the freezer for 15 minutes before continuing
