Once you’ve made ice cream sandwiches at home, the store-bought versions seem so boring. The recipes are usually quite simple too. There are basically three ingredients: a type of ice cream, a type of cookie and something special to give it panache. You can substitute brownies or even doughnuts for the cookies, and frozen custard or yogurt for the ice cream. Here are 12 great recipe ideas to get started.
