Hi everyone, welcome back to the kitchen and today I've got a super simple treat
that's perfect for the upcoming 4th of July holiday or any
Time you want something cool sweet and delicious
These graham cracker ice cream sandwiches are super easy, and I can't wait to show you how they all come together
Ok, we are gonna make some easy-peasy ice cream sandwiches and with the 4th of July coming up
I thought this would be a really great idea if you're gonna be having kids over or grown-ups, it doesn't matter
These aren't really easy to make you can make them
Well in advance stow them in your fridge and you can mix up your flavors and make whatever you like today
we're gonna make three different kinds and
What I have done in advance is I went ahead and I bought three flavors of ice cream
We're gonna make three different kinds of ice cream sandwiches. I
Softened the ice cream and I spread it into oil pan half of it like this and I wrapped it in some parchment
So that I would have approximately the size that I need to work with so
I've cookies and cream caramel and strawberry cheesecake
So I also have a plain graham cracker square
chocolate graham cracker squares and cinnamon sugar graham cracker squares, so we're gonna make be making up dulce de leche a
cookies and cream and a strawberry
New York cheesecake Ice Cream Sandwich and you can make these full size if you like
My only thought that it would be better
If we did them have these the benefit of that is that everyone can have more than one Ice Cream Sandwich
So you can see here
this is approximately the correct size that I need when you soften your ice cream, and you press it into your
pan, then you will know that you have the right amount and then you can just make your ice cream sandwiches just
Like that and you can give these like a little gentle push
Just like that and then you want to stick these in the freezer
ASAP we're gonna make another one here and you can also make your ice cream as thick or as thin as you like
if you so desire you can gild the lily a little I'm gonna go ahead and give this a little bit of a drizzle of
chocolate syrup and
Then we'll put this on the top
and remember you're gonna be putting these back in the freezer anyway, so that's gonna freeze up really nicely and
I'm gonna go ahead and do these and they'll be back and I'll show you how we're gonna make the dulce de leche once alright
Now we're gonna make the dulce de leche ice cream sandwiches and I think these are gonna be really awesome
So that it makes it really simple if you have all of your stuff prepped in advance
Then you can just cut the ice cream the way that you need it and
I've gone ahead and I have
spread some dulce de leche out of a can onto the one side of a cinnamon graham cracker and
Boom just like that
Your ice cream sandwich is pretty much done. Now. You want to return this to the freezer?
Of course because you don't want to serve these when they're all squishy and slippy and slighty
You can always leave the caramel or the dulce de leche off. I'm probably gonna do half and half I did that with the
cookies and cream version
Just give them a gentle push it doesn't matter if it breaks because you're gonna put it in the freezer anyway
And it's all going to adhere I'm gonna finish these up then we'll come back and we'll do the New York strawberry cheesecake ones
And then lastly we're gonna be making these these are strawberry cheesecake
Graham cracker ice cream sandwiches now when you
Get everything all together if you want to clean up the edges a bit
You can just take your knife and kind of run it around the edge. The ice cream is going to soften quickly
So you need to work pretty fast
But in the end these are gonna be fabulous
So I'm gonna go ahead and finish these up and then I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna show you guys what these look like
When they're all ready to go
You're gonna want to keep these in your freezer for at least a couple of hours
so that they set up just right because you don't want these like
melting instantly when you served people and it's always nice if you want to put these
In a bowl or even serve them with a little spoon a little ice cream spoon
Then
People be less inclined to make a mess
But you know
Look at how pretty this looks like from the side with that pretty swirl
You can go any direction that you like these really are. I think there's like french vanilla
graham crackers that you can find also
So you can just kind of let your imagination be your guide. However, you want to fill these is how you should do it and
When there is a freezer of the graham cracker is going to soften up a bit
Kind of like a real ice cream sandwich cookie, and it's going to be really easy to eat
So I'll be back when it's time to have a look and
Try out these delicious summertime ice cream treats there you have it
Our graham cracker ice cream sandwich is three ways all ready to enjoy
another really cool thing you can do is you can get either flat skewers or jumbo popsicle sticks and
stick them in here after they're completely frozen and then you can serve them to the kids out on the lawn like
That or like I said earlier put them in a bowl with a spoon have some ice cream
Toppings on the side and some whipped cream and you can have a little ice cream sandwich sundae bar and it's super delicious
This is just a little extra level of decadence, but you could make it ahead
it's really easy and
You really aren't cooking
Anything as much as you're putting it together and when you're planning a big party for your backyard or for your neighborhood
Maybe you like maybe you guys have a party in your area
These are really fun to pull out after all of the hot dogs and the hamburgers and right before the fireworks start
You can make any combination that you like today
We did cookies and cream with chocolate graham crackers
dulce de leche with salted caramel ice cream and cinnamon sugar graham crackers, and we did a
strawberry cheesecake ice cream sandwich with just a traditional graham cracker square
You can also go and and roll the sides in
coconut crushed
cookies crushed graham cracker
toasted nuts whatever your heart desires
You can make these as simple or as fancy as you want to that is the beauty of this whole idea
Have at it guys because I think it's a lot of fun and this is something that you can get your kids and your grandkids
involved with all you have to do is a little prep work ahead of time by softening and then pressing the ice cream into a
Pan and making it the desired thickness that you want. So that's it. I hope you give these a try
