When I think about these waffle ice cream sandwiches, all sorts of annoying made up foodie words come to mind like NOMTASTIC and FOODGASM.
Cringeworthy right?
Yet those words come to mind as I bite into a heavenly mix of all my favorite foods – ice cream, waffles, chocolate, sprinkles, pistachios…
Read on for the waffle ice cream sandwich recipe with step-by-step photo instructions!
Maybe instead of annoying words we should just focus on the above photo. I don’t really think I need to say more.
These ice cream sandwich waffles first made an appearance on my Instagram account this week. I asked on Instagram stories if you wanted the recipe and I was blown away with the response. The answer was a resounding YES.
So here we are – I aim to please!
Store Bought vs. Homemade Waffles
You can use store-bought or homemade waffles for this recipe. I found that homemade waffles work best if you freeze them for at least an hour before using them. This slows the melting of the ice cream.
Step by Step Instructions for Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches
Store bought pints of ice cream are perfect for this recipe. Just use a very sharp knife to slice the ice cream while it’s still in the carton.
With the ice cream still wrapped, place it on a waffle triangle. Gently lift off the paper.
Press another waffle triangle firmly down on top of the ice cream.
Use the knife to trim off any overhanging ice cream. You can also use the flat part of the knife to press the ice cream into the shape of the waffle.
Yum!
We’re not done yet though! Now it’s time to dip them in chocolate, drizzle them, sprinkle them and top them with whatever your heart desires.
