Here’s a quick and easy recipe that uses pizzelle (traditional Italian waffle cookies) to create endless ice cream sandwich variations. The pizzzelle come in different flavors—such as vanilla, chocolate, anise, and caramel. The freezer section in your supermarket yields a multitude of dairy ice cream flavors as well as non- dairy options made with coconut or almond milks. In addition to sprinkles, consider rolling the sandwiches in chocolate chips, toasted coconut, or chopped nuts. Any way you fill and roll ‘em, these pizzelle ice cream sandwiches will be a tasty, cool, and refreshing treat to celebrate National Ice Cream Month.
Ingredients
- 1 package Pizzelle*
- 1 to 2 pints of your favorite ice cream, softened at room temperature for about 15 minutes
- A variety of sprinkles
Place a scoop of softened ice cream on one of the pizzelle. Top with a second pizzelle. Lightly press the pizzelle so that the ice cream spreads to the edge of the pizzelle. Roll the edge of the pizzelle ice cream sandwich into the sprinkles. Repeat with remaining pizzelle and ice cream. Place in the freezer until ready to serve.
