Print Recipe

Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches combine fresh, fruity strawberry puree with creamy homemade ice cream and soft cookies to create a refreshing, easy-to-make handheld dessert perfect for any season.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Assembly

  • Soft cookies or biscuits of your choice (e.g., shortbread, sugar cookies), enough for sandwiching

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull about two cups of fresh strawberries. Purée them in a blender or food processor until smooth to create a vivid strawberry flavor and pink color.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip one cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. This will provide the creamy and airy texture for the ice cream.
  3. Mix Strawberry Purée and Condensed Milk: Gently fold the pureed strawberries and one cup of sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream. Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix carefully to keep the texture light and airy.
  4. Freeze the Ice Cream Base: Pour the mixture into a shallow, covered container. Freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or overnight, until firm but scoopable.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Select your favorite soft cookies or biscuits. Scoop a generous dollop of the frozen strawberry ice cream onto one cookie, then gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich.
  6. Final Freeze for Set: Arrange the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for an additional 30 minutes to one hour to help them set perfectly for serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for natural sweetness and best flavor.
  • Chill your bowls and beaters to whip the cream faster and fluffier.
  • Fold ingredients gently to maintain a light and airy ice cream texture.
  • Experiment with different cookies to vary texture and flavor.
  • Wrap sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or store in airtight containers to avoid freezer burn.
