For a different type of Ice Cream Sandwich you can use soft, chocolate chip cookies instead of wafers (the larger the better!) and just sandwich a dollop (single scoop) of ice cream between them; squeeze gently and trim off the excess at the edges. Serve straight away or put them in the freezer to serve later as an ice cold treat. For variety, add one of many ice cream toppings such as toffee or chocolate sauce or chopped nuts, chocolate strands or coconut to the ice cream before making the 'sandwich'.

For completely homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches we make our own ice cream AND our own cookies at home. We like to use our own chocolate chip cookies recipe (courtesy of my son Oliver), making sure we bake the cookies that extra bit big and then cram into them our favorite vanilla ice cream or chocolate chip ice cream
