With temperatures soaring into the 100's,
I wanted a cool treat to serve as dessert for dinner guests.
Homemade ice cream sandwiches are perfect for a casual evening!
The chewy chocolatey cookies combined
with mint chocolate chip ice cream
(my personal favorite)
are absolutely irresistible.
I wrapped each sandwich in wax paper tied with ribbon.
"Presentation, presentation!" my mom always said.
And she was right:
a simple offering is immediately elevated
in status when thoughtfully packaged.
This recipe is as easy as can be (only 3 ingredients for the cookies!). No one will guess that such a yummy treat was so simple!
Fudgy Chocolate Ice cream Sandwiches
- 1 chocolate cake mix
- 1 8 oz. container of cool whip
- 1 egg
- Ice cream flavor of your choice (let thaw until easy to spread)
What cold treats do you like to make?
I would love some more ideas -
forecasts are in the 100's for the rest of the week!

I don't really do anything fancy. My mom used to dip bananas in chocolate and freeze them. YUM. I just wanted to say thanks for the great idea. Those cookies look great!
I love these and you can change the pudding flavor to create different combinations--http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Pudding-Grahamwiches. And another favorite that is so simple--take 1 package of Chips Ahoy, some milk and a carton of Coolwhip. Soak each cookie in milk and line in an 8 inch square pan, when you get a layer of cookies, top with a layer of cool whip, keep alternating until cookies are gone, ending with cool whip. Freeze and enjoy--tastes just like cookie dough!
Root beer floats I have one with diet root beer and light ice cream almost every night, but the real stuff tastes better! Yum those cookies look really good.
