Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
I volunteered to be in charge of dessert for our cul de sac 4th of July celebration. Celebrating together as neighbors has been a tradition for as long as we have lived in our home – over 20 years. It is a much anticipated party! I love getting my guests involved in putting their food together so I decided to provide all the makings for ice cream sandwiches. You can find all the info on how I put the ice cream sandwich bar together here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze ice cream sandwiches after making them?
Yes! They are a great make ahead treat. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil so that they are air tight. I then like to place them in a zippered freezer bag. They will last for up to 2 months.
