8 Recipes for Ice Cream Sandwiches to Feast on This Summer

There’s nothing like ice cream sandwiches to refresh yourself on a hot summer afternoon or evening. These frozen treats will delight children of all ages, including the young at heart. Hurry up to taste them before they melt away in your hands!

Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwiches (Bomboloni)

Make this variation on the ice cream sandwich by replacing the traditional cookie with a bombolone, an Italian doughnut usually filled with pastry cream or chocolate cream. First, let the dough rise, then fry the doughnuts. Once they’re perfectly chilled, fill them with ice cream, sorbet and whipped cream. An original recipe that will let you travel a world of gourmet flavours!

Frozen Strawberry Parfait Sandwiches

Strawberry season coincides with the arrival of summer. Take advantage of the berries when they’re at their freshest to make gorgeous desserts, such as The Best shortcake or a classic strawberry pie. These beautiful red fruits give a lovely pink colour to the frozen parfait sandwiched between two layers of lemon shortbread cookies in this recipe.

Lemon Ice Cream Sandwiches

This recipe may be a tad long to make, but the 5 stars that we—unanimously!—gave it should suffice to convince you to try it. Made by mixing meringue and lemon cream, the frozen parfait marries its vibrant flavour to that of the fragrant cookies, full of citrus zest. A frozen treat packed with vitamins, perfect to make on a rainy summer day.

Giant Ice Cream Sandwiches

Family-sized ice cream sandwiches will be the talk of the town—or at least your entourage—this summer. In these two recipes, concentrate your efforts on making the cookie dough, which simply needs to be baked in the oven. Then make your life easier by filling them with store-bought ice cream. These frozen treats are ideal to share on festive occasions, such as Father’s Day, Saint-Jean-Baptiste or Canada Day.

Chocolate Brownie Cookies

One hour, including half of that to simply chill the batter in the fridge; that’s all it takes to make this cookie recipe inspired by brownies. The filling? Store-bought ice cream or a homemade version, in the flavour of your choice. Once the cookies are filled, though, you’ll need to be patient. We suggest freezing the sandwiches for at least 48 hours to allow the cookies to soften. 

Homemade Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

The perfect snack, oatmeal cookies are the stars of this frozen dessert. Make the dough by mixing quick-cooking rolled oats, butter and brown sugar. Once cooked and chilled, the cookies can be assembled into sandwiches with a generous layer of ice cream in the middle. And while you wait 2 hours for the sandwiches to freeze, why not go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather!

Ice Cream Sandwich

Keep this quick, no-cook recipe on hand for dinners in a hurry or unexpected guests. Kids on holiday can make their own sandwiches with their favourite cookies and vanilla ice cream. The treat takes about one hour to freeze. So, how will you use your time while you wait?
