Ice Cream Sandwich

Cookies are one of my favorite baked goodies. There are many types and variates of cookies. In the same way ice cream ......mmmmmmm they also come in many variates and for me cookies and ice cream......Like heaven in my mouth......I love them so much. So I combined the both in one dessert.

Ice cream sandwich is the best dessert for all parties, no matter for a big crowd or for a romantic dinner for two......It is the best.




Many flavors combination can be used to form a ice cream sandwich. I have made a chocolate and strawberry combination. I Love both the flavors a lot individually and both combined together.



I mix two types of chocolate chip and for some crunch, I also add some toasted almonds to my cookies and bake them. And then I scope strawberry ice cream in small ball and sandwich them in between the cookies. For some extra strawberry flavor I drizzle the sandwich with some store bought strawberry syrup.
