Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwiches

tsm 2

Who else is ready to celebrate the 4th of July with the sun, sand, fireworks and all things red, white and blue?! The 4th of July is a big holiday for my family, deeply rooted in tradition with an open-door that welcomes all family and friends. Our giant-sized celebration has become an annual event that everyone looks forward to. In fact, I can’t even remember a 4th of July not spent surrounded by family at the beach. 

Family 4th of July
As with most family celebrations, food is become a big part of the tradition. Like most of our family gatherings, meals are pot luck. Family members have signature dishes they are in charge of bringing, and everyone looks forward to our traditional meal. With so many family members in attendance, there is always room for a new addition. But here is the catch, if you try a new dish, you must be prepared to remake it — year after year. 

The joke in our family is that if it has been done once, it becomes a tradition. So when trying new recipes, it is important to stay simple because I could end up making it for the next 20+ years. For example, I don’t think they would allow me in the door with our my Granny’s Dip. I perfected my Granny’s Dip years ago, and now it might as well be called Jen’s Dip. 

This year I am venturing out and bringing a new dessert to the party — Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwiches

These Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwiches are a great new tradition to add to any gathering. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time, so you have time to enjoy the party. Or on the spot if you need more. Of course, they would be wonderful with homemade cookies, but remember I was going for easy. So I made these with my favorite chocolate chip cookies from Publix and Dryer’s / Edy’s Frozen Custard. 

Did you notice I said frozen custard? That’s right, Dreyer’s/ EDY’S® is the first national brand to offer the beloved all­-American yummy creamy frozen treat. Not only is it thick and rich, it is made with fresh milk from local farms and no artificial colors or flavors. It is so good, and it makes perfect ice creams sandwiches.

Directions

To make these rich and creamy ice cream sandwiches, place a scoop of ice cream on a lined cookie sheet. Lay a piece of parchment paper over the ice cream scoop, then use palm of your hand gently press the scoop flat.

Sprinkle red, white and blue sprinkles around the edge of the ice cream. (Great job for kids!)

    My Frozen Custard idea for Fourth of July is to make custard topped cupcakes.

    My idea is a big bowl with chocolate and caramel sauce — topped with nuts.

    I had the best custard mix the other day at a local cafe. They mixed nutella with vanilla custard and then put toasted marshmallows (they toast them right in front of you) on top! It was amazing.

    It would be so yummy in a homemade cookie cup that you make using a muffin tin.

    My frozen custard idea for the Fourth of July or other celebrations would be to make creamy root beer floats or awesome banana splits with it. My kids would love the ice cream sandwiches that you made. They look so festive and yummy!
