Make a Donut Ice Cream Sandwich

Unlike the traditional ice cream sandwich, this uses donuts and gives the regular ice cream sandwich a run for its money.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 old fashioned donut
  • 2 scoops ice cream

Steps

  1. Thaw the ice cream. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow to thaw for a couple minutes. Keep in mind you want the ice cream to be soft enough to scoop not watery.
  2. Put the chocolate chips into a bowl. Open up a bag of chocolate chips and pour it into a large microwave safe bowl.
  3. Melt the chocolate. Pop the chocolate chips into the microwave for intervals of 30 seconds until completely melted and allow to cool.
  4. Cut the donut. Using a knife slice the donut in half. You should now have 2 slices if done properly.
  5. Add ice cream. Scoop some ice cream onto the freshly cut donut, and place the other donut slice on top.
  6. Dip the donut into chocolate. After the chocolate has cooled down, dip half of the donut into the melted chocolate.
  7. Freeze the donuts. Place the donuts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop the sandwich into the freezer for 20 minutes or until frozen.
  8. Serve. Place the ice cream sandwich onto a clean plate and dig in!



Tips

  • Add some sprinkles into the melted chocolate or other toppings.
  • Replace the melted chocolate with white chocolate, peanut butter, etc. Remember you can use anything you want!
  • Use another type of donut such as glazed however, don't use a donut that is overly sweet as it will be hard to eat and way too sugary.
  • Instead of using store bought ice cream and donuts make them from scratch instead!
