Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 box of 16 mini ice cream sandwiches
- 1 container of red, white, and blue sprinkles (star-shaped sprinkles optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9 x 9-inch pan with parchment paper or wax paper to create a non-stick surface for the dipped ice cream sandwiches.
- Freezing Setup: Remove the mini ice cream sandwiches from their box to allow easy access, then return them to the freezer to keep them firm before dipping.
- Prepare Sprinkles: Pour the red, white, and blue sprinkles into a small shallow bowl that will accommodate dipping the edges of the sandwiches.
- Dip Edges: Quickly unwrap one mini ice cream sandwich at a time and dip all four edges into the sprinkles, repeating the dipping for thorough coverage on each side.
- Place and Repeat: Place each dipped ice cream sandwich onto the lined pan on one of its long edges and continue dipping the remaining sandwiches the same way.
- Freeze if Necessary: If the ice cream starts to soften during the process, place the pan of dipped sandwiches back into the freezer to firm up before finishing the rest. Return the remaining undipped sandwiches to the freezer as well.
Notes
- Work quickly to prevent the ice cream from melting during the dipping process.
- Using star-shaped sprinkles adds extra festive flair.
- If preparing for a larger crowd, simply double the quantities.
- Keep the sandwiches frozen until just before serving to maintain their texture and appearance.
