What are Ice Cream Sandwiches?

The ice cream sandwich is a summertime staple, a tasty combination of ice cream nestled between two cookies. The earliest mention of ice cream sandwiches in North America dates back to 1899. New York City street vendors were selling what they called "hokey pokeys": slabs of ice cream precariously held together by… sheets of paper! The paper phase was short-lived, however. Soon, resourceful vendors (and home cooks) began experimenting with cookies as a more practical solution. Recipes in newspapers featured everything from angel food cake to sponge cake and shortbread for the "sandwich" part.

The credit for the modern ice cream sandwich with the chocolate wafer often goes to Jerry Newberg. This Pittsburgh-based ice cream vendor allegedly created the now-classic vanilla ice cream and chocolate wafer combo in the 1940s, selling them at Forbes Field (home to the Pirates and Steelers).

Variations on the classic include the Chipwich (ice cream between chocolate chip cookies) and countless other flavor combinations.

Tips

Choose cookies that are thin and firm enough to hold the ice cream filling without crumbling. For a classic experience, use store-bought chocolate wafer cookies. For a homemade twist, whip up a batch of chewy chocolate chip cookies or even brownie cookies!
Use a warm knife to cut through the frozen ice cream sandwiches. Dipping the knife in hot water for a few seconds between cuts will make the process smoother.
Don't stop at sprinkles! Drizzle melted chocolate, chopped nuts, or even crushed candy canes over the sandwiches before freezing for an extra flavor and textural punch.
These sandwiches are great for freezing! Make a big batch ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. They're perfect for last-minute cravings or unexpected guests.

What Kind Of Cookies Do I Use?

Store-bought chocolate wafer cookies are the classic choice, but you can use homemade chocolate chip cookies, brownie cookies, or even shortbread cookies.

How Long Do I Freeze The Ice Cream Sandwiches?

Freeze for at least 6 hours, but overnight is recommended for a firmer texture.

Can I Use Other Ice Cream Flavors?

Absolutely! Mint chocolate chip, coffee, cookies, and cream, or even fruit sorbet would all be delicious options.

What Other Toppings Can I Use Besides Sprinkles?

The possibilities are endless! Drizzle with melted chocolate, add chopped nuts, crushed candy canes, shredded coconut, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce.
