Ok, so I had some light vanilla ice cream around and some teddy grahams and mini marshmallows (my favorite) and mini chocolate chips and I had these flourless chocolate cookies from Safeway. Those cookies were the first try and my sister likes them the best filled with Edy's light mud-pie ice cream. I make them and cut them in half since they are big. I do find the cookies a little crisp once frozen and harder to eat. To each there own.
I digress as usual...
The Solution for size and the right texture and versatility.....
Biscoff cookies. What are these you might ask? They are a cinnamon biscuit about 25 calories a cookie. Safeway (I cant remember the west coast partner) has them and funny enough walgreens. They are oval in shape and a perfect snack size for a mini ice cream sandwich.
You can use any ice cream that you like but the day my daughter found me i was smashing
Light Edy's vanilla ice cream with crushed chocolate teddy grahams and marshmallows and mini-chocolate chips. I have also added drizzled caramel once or twice and frankly mush in anything that you like. I could go on and on about heath bars, reeses, m&m's etc...
After letting the ice cream soften and mixing the add-ins place it in a container and let it firm up again. Take a baking sheet and cover it with either tin foil or wax or parchment paper. Take a soup spoon and make an egg shape scoop out of the firm but not fully frozen ice cream and place it on the cookie top with another cookie. Press down slightly and smooth the sides. Place on the cookie sheet. If the ice cream starts melting put the cookie sheet in the freezer and keep adding until you are done. I make a package of cookies at a time and once fully frozen put them in a container.
The way my husband, family and friends have responded is crazy. You would think I actually did something than just combining some things I had in the house. I guess this little treat provides just the right kind of satisfaction without any guilt.
