Anatomy of the Ice Cream Sandwich by Susie Clifford
Many of our vacations have become staycations and we are looking for the little things we can do to make every day a little more special. What says “summer vacation” more than an afternoon snack of an ice cream sandwich? Purchased sandwiches are great, but why not try making a few of your own? Use purchased ice cream and cookies and get creative. However, this could be the excuse you’re looking for to pull out your old ice cream maker out of hiding. There is nothing better than homemade ice cream. It’s easy to do, but takes a little planning and time. Add homemade cookies and you’re in heaven! Homemade cookies are a treat of their own and a terrific side project if you have kids at home who need something to do. Choose a cookie with a soft texture. Fill cooled cookies with ice cream and freeze for at least an hour to help soften the cookies and harden the ice cream. Personalized ice cream sandwiches can be any shape or size and the combination of flavors is endless!
