When paired together they truly make an especially flavorful treat! If you want to mix things up though, check out my Dulce de Leche Ice Cream along with the Double Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies or my Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Why this bake works

Both the chocolate chip cookies and the chocolate ice cream are very straightforward to mix!
My super soft chocolate chip cookies don't require any dough chilling before baking.
The house-made no-churn chocolate ice cream recipe is super rich and chocolatey and doesn't require an ice cream maker!
A fun dessert to make for or with the family for an after-dinner summer treat.
Both the cookies and the ice cream can be made in advance and then assembled later!

How it comes together

STEP 1. Make the chocolate chip cookies. You can use my Super Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. I've also noted some other cookie recipes below that you can use instead, if you so desire.

You can make these cookies ahead of time and keep them stored in an airtight container until it's time to add the ice cream, which will take some time to set.

STEP 2. Make the no-churn chocolate ice cream. Start by melting the chocolate using a double boiler, then set it aside to cool. You can also use a microwave.

STEP 3. Whisk the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. You can use your handheld or stand mixer.

STEP 4. Add in the cold, sweetened condensed milk. Then whisk again until the mixture is thick and stiff peaks form. Add in the vanilla extract and cooled melted chocolate, mixing until well blended.

STEP 5. Transfer the chocolate ice cream to an airtight ice cream container. You can also use a metal loaf or cake pan lined with wax or parchment paper. Freeze for at least six hours or overnight before scooping the house-made no-churn chocolate ice cream onto the chocolate chip cookies.

Ice Cream Sandwich Assembly

After the ice cream is firm, it's time to assemble the house-made ice cream cookie sandwiches. Place one scoop (about 1/4 cup) onto the flat side of the cookie, then top it off with the second cookie that is similar in size.

You can add chocolate jimmies, crushed Oreos, or finely chopped pretzels to the top or sides of the ice cream chocolate chip cookie sandwiches as well.

Freezing / Storage

To store the ice cream sandwiches, Try wrapping them tightly in some wax paper and placing them in the freezer for up to a week.
