Ingredients
Ice Cream Sandwiches
- 12 ice cream sandwiches
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1 cup white chocolate
- 1 cup milk chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Toppings
- Patriotic sprinkles
- Red, white & blue candy pieces
- Optional: crushed cookies, pretzels, brownie crumbles, mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the tray: Line a tray with parchment paper to make freezing and cleanup easy later on.
- Arrange sandwiches: Place the ice cream sandwiches evenly spaced across the lined tray to ensure each one gets a good drizzle.
- Melt chocolates: Melt the white chocolate and milk chocolate separately using a double boiler or microwave until smooth and fully melted.
- Mix coconut oil: Stir the tablespoon of coconut oil into each melted chocolate to achieve a smoother and more drizzle-friendly consistency.
- Drizzle chocolate: Generously drizzle both the white and milk chocolate over the ice cream sandwiches for a decorative and flavorful coating.
- Add toppings: Immediately sprinkle the patriotic sprinkles and red, white, and blue candy pieces over the chocolate before it hardens to ensure they stick well.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set firmly.
- Serve: Enjoy the ice cream sandwiches straight from the freezer while they are cold, creamy, and festive.
Notes
- These ice cream sandwiches are best enjoyed immediately after freezing for optimal creaminess and chocolate crispness.
- You can customize the toppings with your favorite summer treats like crushed cookies, pretzels, or mini marshmallows for added texture and flavor.
- Using coconut oil in the chocolate drizzle helps create a glossy finish and prevents the chocolate from hardening too brittle.
- Store leftover sandwiches tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to one week.
