Easy Biscoff Ice Cream Sandwiches to Beat the Heat
Summer calls for a small dessert that packs a punch, and these Biscoff Ice Cream Sandwiches are the perfect cool treat for a hot day. They’re easy to make and combine the wonderful flavor of Biscoff cookies with creamy vanilla ice cream and a decadent dip in dark chocolate. Because of their size, you can indulge in a little dessert without going overboard—but trust me, you’ll want to make a lot because it’s hard to have just one!
Why I Love This Dessert
This is an easy dessert to whip up with just three ingredients. These Biscoff Ice Cream Sandwiches can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer, ready to serve at a moment’s notice. The sweet cinnamon flavor of the Biscoff cookie pairs perfectly with creamy vanilla ice cream and rich dark chocolate. The small size is ideal for a light dessert when you just want a little something sweet.
Ingredients
- Biscoff cookies: One 8.8 oz package
- Vanilla Ice Cream: Tillamook is my favorite, approximately 1.5 cups
- Dark Chocolate chips: 5 oz, I used Ghirardelli 72% cacao
Equipment
- While not necessary, I used a small offset spatula for spreading the ice cream.
- A baking sheet that will fit into your freezer (mine had to be small!).
- Parchment paper
How to Make Biscoff Ice Cream Sandwiches
- Soften Ice Cream: Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften, making it easier to spread.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread ice cream onto a Biscoff cookie and top with another cookie.
- Freeze: Place in the freezer for approximately one hour or until firm.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in the microwave according to package directions. The brand I used recommended 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Dip in Chocolate: Dip one end of the ice cream sandwich into the melted chocolate.
- Set in Freezer: Return to the freezer for at least 20 minutes until the chocolate is set and the ice cream is firm.
Helpful Tips
- Softening Ice Cream: Allow the ice cream to soften for a few minutes, which will make it easier to spread on the cookies.
- Work Quickly: Work quickly so that the ice cream does not melt too much.
- Pre-Chill Baking Sheet: I placed my baking sheet in the freezer prior to making the recipe, so I had a cool surface to put the ice cream sandwiches on.
- Easy Cleanup: Parchment paper or wax paper on the baking sheet makes cleanup a breeze.
Other Variations to Try
I encourage you to try this recipe with other flavor combinations. Here are a few ideas:
- Cookie Swap: Change up the cookie—maybe try a lemon cookie or a ginger snap.
- Ice Cream Variations: Change the ice cream flavor—chocolate or coffee would be delicious.
- Chocolate Options: If dark chocolate is not to your liking, try milk chocolate or white chocolate.
Storage
Once the ice cream sandwiches are firm, place them into an air-tight container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months (I promise they will never last that long!).
