I'm a human being on planet earth. I've lived hundreds of lifetimes. In this incarnation I'm here to advance medicine.

There’s no denying it at this point: I love cookies & cream. If you harbor any doubt, I invite you to check out this post. Or this one. And if those don’t convince you, this post certainly will.

Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches

Yes, I love healthy foods such as wild Alaskan salmon, zucchini, Greek yogurt, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and just about every fruit under the sun; but I have a very intimate relationship with any dessert that features cookies & cream. I don’t recall when this bond was formed, but I do know it won’t easily be broken.

And why on earth would I want it to?

Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches

These Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches are such a cinch to put together, I’m almost embarrassed to call this a “recipe”. It’s really more of a simple method, which can be altered to suit your taste (perhaps Roasted Banana Soft Serve tucked into a peanut butter sandwich cookie is more up your alley?).

Perhaps what I love most about these ice cream sandwiches is their petit stature. These mini treats are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth, but won’t weigh you down and fill you out like the monstrous Chipwich.  I made a bunch of the little ice cream sandwiches and stored them in a sealed plastic bag in the freezer. You can make as many or as few as you’d like, which is why I neglected to specify ingredient quantities below.
