  • Prep Time: 10
  • Total Time: 190
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 half gallon of cookies n’ cream ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
  • 12 cookies n’ cream Pop-Tarts (or your favorite flavor)
  • parchment paper
  • metal jelly roll pan or 9×13 pan

Instructions

  1. Soften the ice cream on the counter or in the microwave until it’s soft enough to spread, but not melted.
  2. Line the pan with the parchment paper coming up over the edges to make the ice cream easy to remove once frozen.
  3. Using a strong spoon, spread the ice cream out into a 9″ x 10″ rectangle, about an inch thick (or more if you want thick sandwiches!)
  4. Place in freezer for at least 2 hours, or overnight so the ice cream can freeze fully solid again.
  5. Remove from freezer and slice the sheet of ice cream into six 3″ x 5″ rectangles (See the diagram above or just eyeball it.)
  6. Place each section of ice cream in between pairs of Pop-Tarts, wrap in plastic wrap, and place back in the freezer for another hour or so to make sure the sandwiches are really frozen solid.
  7. Unwrap and enjoy immediately!
  8. For longer storage – wrap them in parchment or freezer paper and hide them from your husband. 😉

Notes

  • Gluten-Free: Cookies n Cream isn’t usually gluten-free, but it will definitely work with gf ice cream and gf pop-tarts (Glutino makes some good ones!)
  • Vegetarian: These are vegetarian.
  • Vegan: Frosted Pop-Tarts aren’t vegan, but you can swap unfrosted pop-tarts and your favorite vegan ice cream!
