Description
Cool, creamy, and packed with fresh strawberry flavor, these homemade strawberry ice cream sandwiches bring the perfect balance of chewy cookies and smooth ice cream for a dreamy summer treat.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 ¾ cups – Provides the cookie structure with just the right tenderness.
- Baking Soda: ½ teaspoon – Adds lift and a gentle chew to the cookies.
- Salt: ¼ teaspoon – Balances sweetness and brings out flavor.
- Unsalted Butter: ¾ cup, softened – Creates richness and a soft texture.
- Brown Sugar: 1 cup, packed – Gives moisture and a hint of caramel flavor.
- Egg: 1 large – Binds the dough together for a soft bite.
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – Adds warm, cozy depth.
- Fresh Strawberries: 1 ½ cups, chopped – Infuses the ice cream with fruity sweetness.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: 1 can (14 oz) – The base for ultra-creamy, no-churn ice cream.
- Heavy Whipping Cream: 2 cups – Whipped into fluffy peaks to give the ice cream its airy body.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Gradually mix in dry ingredients.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Scoop cookie dough into equal portions and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly for even sandwiches.
- Assemble the Dish: Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool. In a bowl, mash strawberries. In another bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Fold in condensed milk and strawberries gently.
- Cook to Perfection: Line a loaf pan with parchment. Layer half the cookies face down. Spread strawberry mixture evenly. Top with remaining cookies. Press gently.
- Finishing Touches: Freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from pan, cut into squares or rectangles, and devour immediately—or store for later!
Notes
- Let cookies cool completely before assembling to avoid melting.
- Wet your knife before slicing for clean edges.
- Wrap sandwiches in parchment for easy storing.
