    About the Recipe

    This homemade ice cream cookie sandwich recipe combines two of my favorite treats—chocolate chip cookies and ice cream!

    The chocolate chip cookies recipe is straight from my super soft chocolate chip cookies recipe. It's a super easy-to-make recipe that doesn't require any dough chilling, and you get a really nice soft and chewy cookie with a little crispiness to the outside—perfect for these ice cream sandwiches!

    This homemade no-churn chocolate ice cream recipe is incredibly easy to make as well, super rich and chocolatey, and doesn't require an ice cream maker!

    If you're looking for a fun dessert to make for the family or even with the family, this is a good one to try! You can make the cookies on one day, the ice cream the next, and combine the two together, then enjoy!

    Let's Make the Recipe

    STEP 1. Make the chocolate chip cookies. You can use my Super Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. I've also noted some other cookie recipes below that you can use instead if you so desire.

    You can make these cookies ahead of time and keep them stored in an airtight container until it's time to add the ice cream, which will take some time to set.

    STEP 2. Make the no-churn chocolate ice cream. Start by melting the chocolate using a double boiler, then set it aside to cool. You can also use a microwave.

    STEP 3. Whisk the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. You can use your handheld or stand mixer.

    STEP 4. Add in the cold, sweetened condensed milk. Then whisk again until the mixture is thick and stiff peaks form. Add in the vanilla extract and cooled melted chocolate, mixing until well blended.

    STEP 5. Transfer the chocolate ice cream to an airtight ice cream container. You can also use a metal loaf or cake pan lined with wax or parchment paper. Freeze for at least six hours or overnight before scooping the homemade no-churn chocolate ice cream onto the chocolate chip cookies.

    Ice Cream Sandwich Assembly

    After the ice cream is firm, it's time to assemble the homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches. Place one scoop (about ¼ cup) onto the flat side of the cookie, then top it off with the second cookie that is similar in size.

    You can add chocolate jimmies, crushed Oreos, or finely chopped pretzels to the top or sides of the ice cream chocolate chip cookie sandwiches as well.

    Freezing / Storage

    To store the ice cream sandwiches, I recommend wrapping them tightly in some wax paper and placing them in the freezer for up to a week.

      Ingredients
       

      homemade no-churn chocolate ice cream

      • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream (cold)
      • 14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk (cold)
      • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
      • ⅔ cup 4 ounces Bittersweet Chocolate (melted)

      Instructions

      super soft chocolate chip cookies

      • Find the full recipe here.

      homemade no-churn chocolate ice cream

      • Using a double-boiler (fill the bottom boiler with about 1"-1.5" water) over low heat, melt the chocolate. Set aside and allow to cool.
        Alternatively, you can also melt your chocolate in the microwave in a heat-proof bowl in 30 second increments at 50% power. Depending on the type of chocolate you use, this can take anywhere from 2-4 times.
        ⅔ cup 4 ounces Bittersweet Chocolate
      • Using your hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
        2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
      • Reduce the mixer speed to low and add in the cold sweetened condensed milk.
        14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk
      • Switch the mixer speed back to a medium-high speed, continuing to whisk until it is thick and forms stiff peaks. Once done, then add in the vanilla extract.
        1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
      • Add in the cooled melted chocolate to the ice cream and whisk on medium speed until it is completely blended.
      • Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container or metal loaf or cake pan lined with either wax paper or parchment paper, and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight before scooping onto the chocolate chip cookies.

      assembling the ice cream sandwiches

      • Place one scoop (or more if you wish) of frozen ice cream (about ¼ cup) onto the backside/flatside of the chocolate chip cookie.
      • Take the second cookie of similar size and push down gently onto the bottom part of the sandwich.
      • Wrap tightly in wax paper and store in freezer for up to a week.
