This summer save money by making your own ice cream treats! No need to spend a fortune on fancy ice cream when your children will be overjoyed to sit and make their own treats. I did this with my summer school class as a lesson on how to follow directions. Why not try this and make it fun and educational? My students wrote their own version of this recipe after we made it together. This develops recall, sequencing, and writing a set of how to directions. They never knew they were learning;)
Ingredients:
1 box of store brand chocolate sandwich cookies. The kind that look like fancy name brand cookies.
1 container vanilla ice cream slightly softened
spoon, spreading knives, bowls, plates, and freezer safe tray
Directions:
Each cookie makes one sandwich. Each sandwich gets 2 tbs of ice cream.
This is so easy. Split apart your sandwich cookie. Spread ice cream inside the halves. It helps to soften the ice cream a bit. As an extra, you can roll the ice cream sandwich sides in sprinkles or dip the treat in chocolate coating. I rolled my sides in cookie crumbles.
The last step is to put the sandwiches in the freezer to set up. You will have a hard time keeping the kids off of them. They will taste better if you allow them to set up for at least two hours. Good luck with that!
It's a messy project and a lot of fun. The ice cream sandwich doesn't look perfect, but it tastes amazingly like a fancy gourmet ice cream creation!
Family Blessings,
