Holiday Ice Cream Sandwiches

You can thank my daughter for this recipe, she loves my classic almond cookie ice cream sandwich, and with her love for mint and chocolate, this idea was born! It does require a bit of layering and love, but every bite is worth every minute!

Just from the picture, you can tell this is the ideal holiday treat! The peppermint ice cream is super refreshing between 2 slabs of fudgy brownie, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate.

What You Need

The only items you need are your favorite carton of peppermint ice cream and a batch of brownies, like my homemade recipe from the recipe card, or a boxed mix. Either way, the finished and frozen treat is going to be a keeper.

How to Make Brownie Peppermint Ice Cream Sandwiches

There is an order to assemble this treat, so the sandwiches turn out perfect:

Preheat the oven and line 2 baking dishes with parchment paper.
Prepare the brownie, evenly divide the batter between the 2 lined baking dishes, and bake it.
Soften the ice cream while the brownie cools down completely.
Slice each brownie in half. Cut each half into five vertical strips and remove the crispy edges.
To spread the ice cream, cut the entire carton in half with a serrated knife. Remove the carton and set the ice cream onto the brownies in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it across the surface.
Top the ice cream layer with the brownie pieces, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until solid.

Ingredients

1 brownie recipe
½ gallon peppermint ice cream of choice

Instructions

Prep the brownie:

Preheat the oven according to the brownie recipe directions. Line two 9 x 9-inch baking dishes with parchment paper.
Prepare the brownie batter and evenly divide it between the two pans. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool down completely.
While the brownies cool, remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow it to soften at room temperature.

Assemble:

Remove one brownie square from the pan and set it onto a flat surface. Use a knife to remove the crispy edges.
Slice both squares in half lengthwise to create 2 rectangles. Slice each rectangle into 5 vertical strips. Watching the video makes this step clear.
Remove the lid from the carton of ice cream and use a serrated knife to cut the entire carton in half lengthwise.
Place both halves onto the brownies in the baking dish and remove the carton- the ice cream should be soft enough that it easily separates from the container but isn’t dripping.
Spread the ice cream over the brownies with a spatula and top it with the other section of slice brownies (this will create ten sandwiches total).

Freeze:

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and freeze for 4 hours.

Serve:

Once frozen, remove the brownie ice cream sandwich from the freezer and trim the excess ice cream edges. Cut into 10 individual sandwiches and serve.
Wrap the leftovers with parchment paper and freezer in a large zip bag.
