I have been trying to make healthier choices with my nutrition, for me and my family. Last week I was sent a box full of delicious temptations filled with Udi’s Gluten Free sweets and treats. I decided to make the best of the delicious situation and the heat… to make a sweet ice-cream treat for the boys when they came home from school yesterday.
To make the Udi’s Gluten Free Ice-Cream Cookie Sandwich, you simply need cookies and ice-cream. It is pretty simple to make and relatively not-messy (until the ice-cream starts to melt).
You need:
Udi’s Gluten Free Cookies (your favorite flavor of choice – I used Soft-baked Maple Pecan cookies)
Small (single serving size) ice-cream container (flavor of your choice, I love Stonyfield Organic Minty Chocolate Chip)
How to make your Delicious Ice-Cream Cookie Sandwich:
Find a sharp knife to cut into your ice-cream container. It is easiest and less messy when the ice cream is frozen solid (it gets messy and hard to cut when it begins to melt… so cut fast!) I cut my ice-cream slices about a half an inch to a full inch in width.
Place cut ice-cream slices between two cookies. Leave the carton sleeve on to hold the ice-cream in place (to be removed before eating).
Either place the ice-cream cookie sandwiches in the freezer to enjoy later (be cautious that the cookie freezes too so it will be very hard and crunchy – my husband enjoyed his treat after dinner and it wasn’t as yummy as when made fresh) or put on a platter to hand to your eager children ready for a sweet after school special treat.
My boys were so excited. I rarely give them sweets, so at this point they were telling me that I have “such a cool job that I can make cookie treats and give them to us!” Ha! I think they are impressed.
What they weren’t happy with is how long it took me to give them their treat, as the ice-cream cookie sandwiches were melting in the heat of the afternoon. Mama’s got to take photos for the blog, boys!
The boys approve. They were asking when I would make them this treat again. It was super simple. Super yummy. A big hit!
Even as the ice-cream melted all over their little hands and made them sticky, they were not complaining. You can choose any Udi’s Gluten Free cookie flavor of your choice. They offer many different flavors: snicker doodle, oatmeal raising, chocolate chip, coconut peanut butter, salted caramel cashew, maple pecan chocolate chip and MORE gluten-free sweet treats!

Silly Mom!! I like how you made the kids wait, so you can take the picture!! That’s what good blogging parents should do!!! 🙂
Haha! Right! They were not patient as I snapped photos… BUT they LOVED that I was a ‘blogging mom’ when they were enjoying their sweet treat. LOL
You had me at ice cream! Great idea to cut it from the container like that! Happy Wednesday 🙂
Yum. I love mint chocolate chip. I don’t usually keep ice cream in my house bec I will eat all of it before it gets to the kids. But something like this might help it go faster…. 😉
I am not a big icecream eater (my husband is). We were out of cookies AND icecream after this fun little craft (win win for ME!)
What a yummy treat! We love ice cream sandwiches around here but then again who doesn’t. What a creative way to put them together!
Thanks! It was fun… and the boys LOVED it!
wait that was WAY easier than I anticipated!
Yes! Right!?! I thought so too!
I would have never thought to cut the ice cream container in order to make an ice cream sandwich. What a great idea!
OMG, this way of cutting ice cream is totally blowing my mind. How ingenious! Hope to make these this weekend for the fourth. Thanks for sharing
Yay! You are so welcome! Enjoy!
