Ice cream sandwiches are comfort food for me. The combination of ice cream and cookie or ice cream and waffle is true delicious perfection.
While we often think of ice cream sandwiches in summer we think these homemade ice cream sandwiches are perfect any season.
A delicious treat, snack or dessert and easy to make ahead and refrigerate until ready to serve.
You will love that these ice cream sandwiches are made with a homemade waffle and vanilla ice cream.

This looks amazing! I can totally swap out the all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour and make this Celiac Safe! I’ve not had a good ice cream sandwich since my diagnosis nearly two years ago!!!
I’m not a fan of store bought ice cream sandwiches, but substituting those dry, processed cookies for fresh, homemade waffles is a game changer. These sound incredible!

What a delicious treat! These could be super fun to make for a little ice cream party. They’re cute!
Umm yes please! I will definitely be trying these. It would be a great way to use up some leftover waffles too (not to mention delicious!).
Yum! Why have I never thought of putting ice cream on waffles?
