Common Questions About Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches
Can I Use Any Flavor of Ice Cream?
Absolutely! While vanilla ice cream is a classic choice, you can use any flavor you love. Chocolate, strawberry, mint chocolate chip, or even cookie dough ice cream can make these sandwiches extra special.
Just make sure the softened ice cream spreads easily and creates an even layer.
How Do I Heat Treat Flour?
Heat-treating flour is an important step to make it safe to eat raw.
Simply place the raw flour in a small bowl and microwave it in 15-second increments, stirring between each, until the center of the flour registers 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This kills any harmful bacteria, making it safe to use in edible cookie dough.
Can I Add Other Mix-Ins to the Cookie Dough?
Yes, you can get creative with your cookie dough! Try adding sprinkles, crushed cookies, nuts, or even small candies. This is a fun way to customize your ice cream sandwiches and make them your own.
Mini chocolate chips are a classic choice, but smaller chips or different mix-ins can add a unique twist.
Storage
This is super simple to make. The hardest part is waiting for it to freeze, haha!
Refrigerator
While these Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches are best stored in the freezer, you can keep the assembled sandwiches in the refrigerator for a short time once frozen.
They will stay firm for less than a few hours, so be sure to move them back to the freezer to keep the ice cream solid.
Freezer
Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 30 days. This keeps them fresh and ready to enjoy whenever you want a sweet treat.
Just let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.
