Easy Ice Cream Sandwiches

Friends, you are in for a definite treat today – like, literally. We are sharing our take on easy ice cream sandwiches, just in time for Valentine’s Day dessert.

Welcome to this month’s installment of Thrifty Style Team! Typically, this is the place where we get together with our talented and creative blogger friends every month. We each makeover, repurpose or transform something from our homes or thrift stores. This month however, we have changed things up a bit. Being that this is the season of love, we decided to each share a dessert recipe. Let’s get started!

Staying Home

In our lives, we typically don’t do a lot for Valentine’s Day. We each prefer to stay home and celebrate by making a special meal and dessert. Being that we aren’t comfortable with going inside of a restaurant just yet, we knew that we needed to make the day of love a bit more festive.

When Jenn was a little girl, we would make ice cream sandwiches with fresh baked cookies. Usually, it was peanut butter cookies filled with vanilla ice cream. We decided the cookies needed to be a bit over-the-top for our special dessert.

Make it Easy

What’s easier than starting this dessert treat, than with store bought cookies. You deserve to take it easy too. Our Valentine cookies came with a kit and edible markers. We opted to skip this and just add red icing to the tops. We love the pop of red. You can even use smaller cookies for this recipe.

We love Häagen Dazs strawberry ice cream. Plus, the pink color is perfect for our sandwiches. Feel free to use your favorite pint of ice cream.

Colorful sprinkles are so festive!

Turn it

Turn the pint of ice cream on its side. Carefully use a sharp knife and cut slices of ice cream, through the ice cream container.

Next, cut a V from the ice cream slice.

Place the ice cream slice on a cookie.

Por sprinkles onto a plate.

Carefully turn the cookie over and dip the ice cream on the sprinkles.

Place another on top of the ice cream to create your sandwich.
