Ingredients for the ice cream sandwich
- 1 cup cup heavy whipping cream
- 24 dry cookies (Oro Saiwa dry cookies)
- 1/4 cup cup vanilla icing sugar
- to taste chopped hazelnuts
- to taste chopped pistachios
- to taste chocolate (in flakes)
You will need
- Plastic wrap
- Baking dish
- Electric whisk
Prepare the ice cream sandwich
Line the baking dish with plastic wrap and set aside. In a well-chilled bowl, start whipping the cream and vanilla icing sugar with an electric whisk.
Arrange the cookies in the baking dish creating the first layer, which is delicately spread with the cream leveling it well and then covered with another layer of cookies. Close with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 3 hours. Once the time has passed, remove the baking dish, take off the wrap from the cookies, and with a knife, separate them from one another. You can serve them plain or decorate them with chopped hazelnuts, pistachios, or chocolate flakes.
So good and simple!
Storage
Store the ice cream sandwiches in a closed container in the freezer for up to a week!
Susy’s Tip
I recommend using only dry cookies and not shortbread cookies because they would become too soft with the moisture of the ice cream.
