Friends, today I’m sharing a recipe that has become my summer lifesaver: the homemade ice cream sandwich! It’s one of those clever ideas that takes very little time to prepare, you don’t need to turn on the oven (which is already a miracle with this heat), and it’s so good that it disappears in an instant.
It’s an easy ice cream sandwich recipe that you can even make in the afternoon, maybe before a dinner with friends, or for a snack for your kids.
The base is very simple: beat the egg white until stiff, then whip the cream with sugar until it’s nice and frothy. At this point, gently combine the two mixtures, add a bit of vanilla extract for that irresistible aroma… and you’re done! The cream is ready to be spread between two cookies (I use classic ones like Digestive or Oro Saiwa, but others work too), then quickly roll them in chocolate chips. The result? A quick summer dessert that looks like it’s straight from a gelateria!
Put them in the freezer for 2-3 hours and voilà: you have creamy, delicious, and super refreshing ice cream sandwiches.
Kids love them, but adults do too.😁 Trust me, this easy ice cream sandwich recipe will become a must-have for your summer. You can also customize it by adding small pieces of fruit, chopped hazelnuts, or anything you like inside the cream.

Steps
To prepare homemade ice cream sandwiches, start by whipping the cream with sugar in one bowl and whipping the egg whites with a pinch of salt in another bowl.
Combine the two mixtures, adding the vanilla extract.
Gently mix from the bottom up to avoid deflating the cream. Use a spoon or a piping bag to distribute a generous portion of cream on the cookie base.
Close with another cookie, press gently, and roll the ice cream sandwich in chocolate chips. Place the ice cream sandwiches on a tray and freeze for at least 2-3 hours.
Your ice cream sandwiches are ready!😊
