Ice Cream Sandwiches
I prepared a couple of vegetable based sandwiches in advance this time for blogging marathon only to come up with other posts at the last moment. So much for advanced planning. I didn't bother even to use the initially planned ones. :) I wanted to include a dessert as well in the "Sandwiches without using bread" theme and so here is this drool-worthy confection. These are perfect for kid centric parties as they can be made in advance and the assembly literally needs no time.
Ingredients:
Cookies
Ice cream of your preference
Chopped M&M' s (optional)
For each sandwich, use 2 large cookies and about 1/4 cup of ice cream, slightly softened. Usually chocolate chip cookies / wafers are used for sandwiches and vanilla ice cream is the popular one used for the stuffing. I had run out of both and so went with shortbread cookies and strawberry ice cream though I would have preferred vanilla flavored ice cream. I used pecan shortbread cookies which are not large sized and so used about 2 Tbsp ice cream for each sandwich.
Assembling the sandwiches:
* Leave the ice cream on counter for about five minutes to soften it. Using a big spoon, spread the softened ice cream across the flat side of one cookie.
* Place the flat side of the second cookie onto the ice
cream and press gently. You can even roll the ice cream edge into
chopped M&M's. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for
about 15 minutes or up to a week.

I have heard abut ice cream sandwiches before, I used to think it was sloppy and time consuming. Thanks for correcting my wrong notion!!

Icecream sandwich look perfect and awesome in color
I totally agree that the kids will love these! Love the idea of chopping M n Ms for this!
Love adding the chopped M & M's! Adds crunch to the recipe. My friend recently brought something like this for a get together and before layering the icecream on the cookies, she smeared the cookies with some Chocolate ganche.
The sandwich sounds delicious and crunchy. Nice sandwich as a dessert.
