Introduction & history

Hand-held and portable, ice cream sandwich is a perfect treat on the go, a delicious combination of ice cream and chocolate-flavored wafers, assembled in a sandwich. Variations on the original include using different flavored ice creams, adding fruit, nuts or compote to the ice cream and using various kinds of biscuits or cookies. The preparation starts with making the wafers. Once they have cooled, there are two ways of going about it. You can either precut the wafers and the frozen ice cream to the desired size, then sandwich them together, or first, spread one wafer with softened ice cream, then top with the other biscuit. The ice cream sandwich, or sandwiches if using the first method, should be then wrapped in plastic wrap and kept in a freezer for about two to four hours. Once ready, the individual sandwiches can be eaten immediately, while the one big ice cream sandwich needs to be cut into individual pieces before serving.
