Cookie ice cream sandwiches are a thing of real beauty, that any child would love. The combination of rich chocolate and sour cherry however puts a grown up twist on the classic ice cream sandwich so that you can serve these up to kids and adults alike. This crowd pleasing dessert is a childhood favourite, and the element of nostalgia means you won’t mind getting your hands a bit messy when you dig in. The combination of soft ice cream and fresh, chewy cookies is bound to put a smile on your face. We’ve used vanilla ice cream in our cookie ice cream sandwich, but you could also try using chocolate or cherry to match the flavours in the cookie. This recipe makes 30 cookies, and you only need 12 to serve 6 people, so the rest can be kept in an airtight container for 2 days or stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
