Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 2h45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 2

24 store-bought chewy gingerbread cookies (or follow Chewy Gingerbread Cookies recipe)
1 quart store-bought pumpkin ice cream, softened in refrigerator about 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Place 12 cookies, flat sides up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Scoop 1/3 cup ice cream into center of each cookie. Place remaining cookies, flat side down, on top of ice cream. Gently press with flattened palm until ice cream spreads to edges of cookies. Freeze until ice cream is semi-firm, about 2 hours. Sandwiches can be frozen on baking sheet until firm, about 4 hours more, and then stored in a freezer bag up to 2 weeks. To serve, transfer cookies to refrigerator until ice cream softens slightly, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin puree. Not all pumpkin purees are created equal. For the best flavor, look for a puree that is made from 100% pumpkin, with no added sugar or spices.
  • Chill the ingredients before churning. This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Don't over-churn the ice cream. Over-churning can make the ice cream icy and grainy. Churn the ice cream just until it is thick and creamy.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. The chocolate chips are a key ingredient in these ice cream sandwiches, so it's important to use high-quality chips that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Freeze the ice cream sandwiches for at least 3 hours before serving. This will help the sandwiches firm up and make them easier to eat.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin ice cream sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for fall. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of these sandwiches that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give pumpkin ice cream sandwiches a try!
