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.

Always trying to eat a balanced diet. ⚖️ @tensewatches make sure I’m not late to my next foodie adventure. Their handmade watches are made from reclaimed wood making them not only beautiful but eco-friendly! ?? This one is the Hudson with a Walnut face and Mint leather strap.

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.

Instructions

  1. Cut each frozen waffle into four sections.
  2. Use a very sharp knife to carefully slice the carton of ice cream into three sections crosswise.
  3. With the ice cream still wrapped, place it on a waffle triangle. Gently lift off the paper.
  4. Press a second waffle triangle firmly down on top of the ice cream.
  5. 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.
  6. Decorate as you wish – dip waffles in melted chocolate, drizzle them with chocolate, add sprinkles, add toppings and whatever your heart desires.
  7. Eat immediately or freeze for up to 24 hours in an airtight container prior to enjoying.

Notes

* I’ve found that freezing the waffles before adding ice cream makes them easier to work with and keeps the ice cream from melting too quickly. You can use store-bought or homemade waffles.
