Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwiches
Description
This recipe begins by softening the ice cream at room temperature and evenly spreading it in a lined baking tray to freeze into a flat layer. Once solid, the ice cream is cut into star shapes using the same cookie cutter used for the red velvet cookies. The star-shaped ice cream pieces are then sandwiched between two matching red velvet cookies. As sandwiches are assembled, they are kept cold to prevent melting and ensure firm texture on serving.
The ice cream choice—vanilla or cheesecake-flavored—adds a creamy sweetness balancing the cocoa flavor of red velvet cookies. Optional sprinkles can be added during assembly for extra decoration. These frozen sandwiches make a playful dessert or snack that is visually appealing and texturally satisfying.
Once assembled, the ice cream sandwiches are frozen again until firm, and can be individually wrapped and stored in the freezer for convenient servings over several days.
Ingredients
- 24 red velvet cookies shaped into stars
- 2 pints vanilla ice cream or cheesecake flavored ice cream
- Sprinkles if desired
Instructions
- Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature until softened. Line a large rimmed baking pan (or another similar large, flat container with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Spread softened ice cream evenly over lined baking sheet. Press additional plastic wrap against the surface of the ice cream. Freeze until totally firm, at least 2 hours or up to 3 days. The longer you freeze, the easier it will be to form the ice cream sandwiches.
- When ready to assemble, remove ice cream sheet from freezer. Using the same cookie cutter you used for shaping the cookies, cut out shapes of ice cream and sandwich it between two cookies. Place on a rimmed tray and if the pop into the freezer as you assemble all the sandwiches, adding more to the freezer to keep them cold.
- Repeat for remaining cookies, working quickly. If ice cream begins to melt, return to freezer until firm again.
- Freeze sandwiches until firm, at least 1 hour, before serving.
- Sandwiches can be individually wrapped in plastic and stored in freezer for up to 1 week. Let sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
