Ginger cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ginger Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ginger Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches start with spicy ginger crinkle cookies. Sandwiched in the middle is a ginger molasses toffee crunch ice cream that’s a cinch to make. The result is the best ice cream sandwich ever.

Ginger Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

This outstanding treat starts with spicy ginger crinkle cookies that are not quite soft and not quite chewy. It’s the perfect cookie texture to serve as top and bottom of an ice cream sandwich.

These spicy ginger cookies are a favourite recipe of us because they always turn out beautifully and the dough requires no chilling so you can get the cookies right in the oven.

Cookie tip: 

To portion these cookies we have taken to using a medium cookie scoop for speed, ease and because it keeps the cookies uniform in size. You’ll appreciate that when you’re making ice cream sandwiches or using any sort of filling.

Then, sandwiched in the middle is an extra creamy ginger molasses ice cream studded with crunchy toffee bits (aka Skor bar). This no-churn recipe couldn’t be easier. All you need are beaters, a freezer and six hours of patience to wait for the creamy mixture to freeze.

To assemble ginger cookie ice cream sandwiches:

Sandwich a scoop of ice cream between two cookies :)

    • Serve them immediately so the cookies are on the soft side and the ice cream slowly melts.

    • Another option is to let the ice cream soften a bit before assembly. Then place the assembled sandwiches back in the freezer to set before eating. Colder on the teeth but less messy.
