Description
Looking for a quick and festive treat for your Fourth of July or Memorial Day celebration? These Patriotic Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches are dipped in red, white, and blue sprinkles and frozen to perfection. No baking, no mess just a sweet, star-spangled dessert everyone will love!
Ingredients
• 1 box (16-count) mini ice cream sandwiches
• Red, white & blue sprinkles (stars, jimmies, or both)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Tray
Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment or wax paper. Pour sprinkles into a shallow bowl.
2️⃣ Freeze and Unwrap
Remove sandwiches from the box but keep them in the freezer. This makes them easier to grab individually.
3️⃣ Dip in Sprinkles
Take one sandwich at a time, unwrap quickly, and dip all four sides in the sprinkles. Press lightly if needed for full coating.
4️⃣ Arrange in Tray
Place dipped sandwiches standing upright in the pan. If any begin to melt, return the pan to the freezer before continuing.
5️⃣ Freeze Again
Once all are dipped, freeze the tray for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
-
For best results, use soft mini ice cream sandwiches that are easy to bite after freezing.
-
If sprinkles don’t stick well, let the Patriotic Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches soften for 30 seconds before dipping, or brush edges with cold milk for better adhesion.
-
Keep hands cool or use tongs when handling sandwiches to avoid melting.
-
These Patriotic Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store them in an airtight container with parchment between layers.
-
Feel free to customize with different cookie types, dairy-free ice cream, or gluten-free options for allergy-friendly versions.
-
Red, white, and blue sprinkles in stars, sugar crystals, or jimmies work great. Explore themed mixes for extra flair.
-
For a party-ready look, arrange the sandwiches in a star shape on a platter and garnish with mini American flags.
