Let’s be honest. Sometimes, as a mom, even one that loves to cook, you just don‘t always have the time to scratch make everything. When this is the case for me, sometimes, I double down on the quality of ingredients and on presentation.

These ice cream sandwiches take no time to make, can be made in advance, looks super cute and it will present well for any adult or child summer affair.

It’s just as simple as picking up some cookies from the grocery store bakery. I go to Whole Foods -Do NOT sleep on their bakery. The brown butter chocolate chip and the double chocolate chip are bomb. And I find them to be the perfect thickness and chewiness I need for an ice cream sandwich.

The ice cream really is the star - so use good vanilla ice cream. My favorite brands that I can find regularly in the supermarket are Jeni’s and Van Leeuwen and I like to use vanilla as a canvas and let the toppings create the vibe - if that makes sense. You can totally use “Nice Cream” or any healthy ice cream alternative. This is more of a method vs an exact recipe.

For equipment: all you need is an ice cream scoop, white parchment paper, and a vessel to contain them. You can also get string or twine to wrap them individually with the parchment paper. The presentation will be super cute.

You can also create a little bar of toppings and let the kids roll their sandwiches and choose their toppings.
