Ingredients
For the Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Cups all purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Sandwiches
- 6 cups of your favorite ice cream
- Your favorite ice cream toppings
Instructions
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl until fluffy (you can either hand mix or use a mixer).
- Add the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then, add the vanilla, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
- Preheat your regular waffle iron. You can use a Belgian waffle iron, but we have found that Belgian waffles make these ice cream sandwiches too bready and not as good as a regular waffle, which is thinner and crisper).
- Spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the appropriate amount of batter into your waffle maker and cook to your desired crispiness or until golden brown.
- Set the cooked waffles aside to cool to room temperature. To make the perfect-sized waffles, I recommend this inexpensive mini waffle iron on Amazon. However, if you have a larger waffle iron, you can always use that and then cut the waffles to the desired sandwich size.
- Take two waffles and add 3/4 cup of your favorite ice cream onto one waffle. Place the other waffle on top and gently press down until the ice cream is evenly distributed between the waffles. Then, garnish the outside with your desired toppings.
- After you have created your desired Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich, place a piece of parchment paper on a plate and transfer it to the freezer for the ice cream to firm, about 10-15 minutes.
- After the ice cream has firmed, serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Storage Info:
- To store Homemade Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches, keep them in the freezer for up to 1 month. Individually wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or parchment paper, then place them in an airtight container or a freezer bag for optimal storage. Using a freezer bag can help conserve space and protect the sandwiches from freezer burn.
