I have a recipe for peppermint bark cookies I make every Christmas, and let me tell you, there is nothing like two of those cookies with chocolate ice cream sandwiched between them. Woohoo! :)

you can find a few variations online, she used lemon ice cream (500ml), coconut milk (half of a can), a dash of vodka and a bottle of prosecco, mix everything in the blender for a few seconds and you’ve got a great, creamy, frothy summer drink – which doubles as a dessert ;)

They have a circular shape with pretty scalloped edges. During the summer, I keep a tin of them in the pantry (they stay fresh for a long time) and make ice cream sandwiches to order. Of course, once a big scoop of slightly softened ice cream is squished between two cookies, the edges of the ice cream can be rolled in the topping of choice (mini chocolate chips are a favorite). My favorite feature of these ice cream sandwiches is the cookies remain crisp.

Kids love ice-chocolate, which is the same, but chocolate ice cream and chocolate milk.
Yum-O!

I only do it when the husband is out of town, but one of my favorite ways to enjoy ice cream is to buy a pint of super premium in a flavor only I enjoy – butter pecan or lemon mousse – and eat it right out of the container with a spoon. It’s nice to feel like you’re getting away with something once in a while.

My other favorite is something my brother and I did as kids, and my mother always clucked at us in disgust. Put a couple of scoops of plain old chocolate in a bowl, let it melt a bit, and then stir it into the consistency of, say, sour cream. Then dip good salty thin potato chips in it. I know, disgusting, right? NOT! Think peanuts on a sundae; it’s that salty/sweet thing at its best. Don’t judge me until you’re tried it.

It is out of this world good and Mom always lets me take extra home with me because she is the best!

Other than ice cream pie, this is a way to incorporate ice cream in a recipe.
