Donut Ice Cream Sandwiches are a fun and indulgent dessert that combines two beloved sweets: donuts and ice cream. They are perfect for a special treat or to impress at a party.
Ingredients
- 6 glazed donuts
- 3 cups of your favorite ice cream flavor (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc.)
- Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, sprinkles, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or crushed cookies
Directions
- Take the ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- While the ice cream is softening, slice each donut in half horizontally.
- Once the ice cream is soft enough to scoop but not completely melted, place a generous scoop (about 1/2 cup) onto the bottom half of each donut.
- Gently press the top half of the donut onto the ice cream to form a sandwich. Press just enough to secure the top, but be careful not to squeeze out the ice cream.
- If using optional toppings, roll the edges of the ice cream in your chosen toppings, or drizzle the top with chocolate syrup.
- Place the assembled donut ice cream sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes to an hour, until the ice cream is firm.
- Serve immediately after removing from the freezer.
- If not serving immediately, wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and keep them stored in the freezer.
