We All Scream for Ice Cream (Sandwiches)
An ice cream sandwich is a great summer dessert, and it’s a type of dessert that is easy to make and no oven is necessary.

A no-bake dessert is a perfect treat for when summer is in full swing, and there is no better no-bake treat than a DIY ice-cream sandwich. These ice cream sandwiches make a store-bought product look dull in comparison. The dessert is a lot of fun to make and – of course – tastes extremely good.
Ingredients:
- 6 whole graham crackers
- 6 scoops vanilla (or favorite flavor ice cream), softened
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate baking chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Assorted cookie decorating sprinkles
Directions:
- Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Break graham crackers in half, making 12 squares. Place a scoop of softened ice cream on 6 squares and place remaining 6 squares on top, pressing down firmly. Place sandwiches in freezer until firm.
- Place semisweet and white chips in separate microwave-safe bowls. Add 1 tablespoon oil to each bowl then microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring well until melted and smooth.
- Dip each ice cream sandwich halfway into melted chocolate (3 sandwiches in semisweet chocolate and the other 3 in white chocolate). Immediately decorate with sprinkles and place on the baking sheet.
- Return sandwiches to freezer until chocolate hardens, then enjoy immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap and keep frozen until ready to serve.
Extra Information: These should stay crisp for up to 2 days; after that, the graham crackers will soften but they’ll taste just as good. The overall time needed for this recipe was 20 minutes.
