How to Make : Colorful Ice Cream Sandwiches

credit to : SuchPrettyThings

What You Will Need :

1. Vanilla ice cream (good quality)
2. Liquid food coloring
3. Large cookies (I used sugar cookies from a local bakery)
4. Sprinkles, colored sugar, chocolate chips, etc... for decoration (optional)
5. Wax paper

Step by Step :

Begin by briefly setting your ice cream out on the counter and allowing it to melt slightly - just enough so that it is easy to stir. I wanted a bunch of different colors, so I divided mine up into several bowls and added a drop or two of food coloring to each.

Start with just a little food coloring - you can always add more. Blend together until your desired color is achieved.

Working quickly, place a scoop of ice cream on top of one cookie, being careful to leave some room around the edge. Top with a second cookie. Next, press down lightly on the top cookie until the ice cream gets close to the edge of the cookie - be careful not to squish it too much or it will spill over the edges and you'll have a big mess. If you want to smooth your sides, you can do so with a butter knife dipped in hot water.

At this point, you may want to put your sandwiches in the freezer for just a few minutes to set up. Then, roll the edges of the ice cream sandwiches in multi-colored sprinkles, candies, chocolate chips, etc...

Immediately wrap the sandwiches in wax paper and put them back them in the freezer for several hours to allow them to harden.

You really have to try these this summer!
