When it comes to irresistible frozen treats, few things compare to the magical combination of ice cream and chocolate. But what if we took that delectable pairing to new heights? Imagine sinking your teeth into a creamy ice cream filling, nestled between two crisp and subtly sweet graham crackers.
But wait, it gets even better! These delightful ice cream sandwiches are taken to the next level as they are dipped in a velvety cloak of rich, decadent chocolate. The result? A symphony of textures and flavors that will transport you straight to dessert heaven.
Start by softening your favorite store-bought strawberry ice cream at room temp for a bit. Spread the softened ice cream into a lined sheet pan, and freeze back to solid. Then, slice it to fit your graham crackers. Sandwich the ice cream and dip in melted chocolate. Finish with a chocolate drizzle for a little extra flair, and you’re done! This is the easiest homemade ice cream sandwich recipe you’ll ever make!
Bonus: These tasty frozen treats are also customizable! Don’t love strawberry ice cream? No problem, swap in your favorite flavor–try blueberry or chocolate ice cream. Love white chocolate? Dunk ‘em in white chocolate and add a white chocolate drizzle! Feeling super ambitions? Make your own no-churn ice cream (and then be sure to invite me over, please).

Yield: 12 ice cream sandwiches
Ingredients:
4 cups of strawberry ice cream (about ⅔ to ¾ of a standard 1.5 quart tub)
12 whole graham crackers
