Waffle ice cream sandwiches are exactly what you need on a hot summer day. This easy-to-make frozen treat combines prepared waffles and your favorite flavor of ice cream. What could be easier than a 2 ingredient summer dessert?!
Alright, let’s not beat around the bush, it’s hot out. But you share a space on this wonderful planet with me and already know that. In case you had a moment to forget about it seems to be all the news cares to talk about at the moment and Facebook is filled with posts updating me on the status of Mother Nature. Guess what guys, she’s still PMSing so lets move on.
Time to whip out the old slip and slide and embrace things. You can even be real classy and run down to the Walmarts pick yourself up a little plastic wading pond and some floaties and make the best of things in style. Come on, you know your tempted to keep the real estate value up in your neighborhood. If Handsome hadn’t already installed a pimped out pond a few years back, I’d be tempted to do so myself.
In the mean time lets keep cool with our frozen desserts from our childhood.
Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches
From childhood nostalgia
Ingredients:
- 1 package frozen waffles ( I was feeling quite wild and got the ones with chocolate chips. Now that’s living on the edge)
- Ice cream flavors of choice
Preparation:
Remove ice cream from freezer to soften a bit.
Toast waffles as per directions on box. Make sure they are well toasted, no one wants a soggy waffle. That’s what the ice cream is fore.
Scoop out ice cream onto one waffle and use another to top your sandwich.
If you really want to make a party out of things, top with whipped cream, sprinkles and fudge for a great blast to your childhood.
If you feel like classing up the joint, sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top.
*Toppings not shown due to extreme weather conditions making this the fastest food blogging shoot ever.
The best part about these little babies? As they were melting the mess was pretty self contained to the wonderful little waffle pockets of the one below it. How awesome is that? OK, maybe not that awesome, but it made me happy when I discovered the bonus ice cream. 😀
I think that these are just the right amount of effort one needs for a really hot day!
Ohhh those look so delicious 🙂 I need to try this 🙂
Love!! Congrats on Top 9 again today:-)
the pictures look great,i can have for my breakfast too why not 🙂
It’s like a combination of happy fluffy bunny awesomeness! Buzzed 🙂
You should make sure you send out a notice for this recipe/idea again on August 2 which is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day.
these look absolutely amazing! what a great, simple idea, love it!
So fun! Glad to see you used frozen waffles – I was going to say I’d have to do that since we don’t own a waffle maker!! The neat thing here is the varieties can be endless w/ice cream or waffles and sizes depending on what you find or make 🙂
Most awesome thing ever. Ever!!!!!! Pure evil genious! I am soooooo making this! Gah!
I miss my slip ‘n slide! It had so much duct tape on it I am sure my parents threw it away eons ago. But hey at least I can still enjoy these waffle ice cream sandwiches!
I’ve been craving ice cream sandwiches for a while now, but I’ve been resisting the urge because I know the ones from the corner store are sooooo full of artificial junk.
I have a feeling these would totally hit the spot, though, especially since I could make them with proper (ie. non-artificial) ice cream! More taste, less guilt. 🙂
These are so fun and so easy. What a great idea for this hot spell that we’re having as well. Forget the classier powdered sugar. It’ll be whipped cream and fudge for sure!
These are awesome! I was all pouty yesterday because I saw a post where someone made waffle cones and I don’t have a waffle cone maker but now this is totally better! Such a great idea.
LOVE these, Kita. Love. My kids would love them too. What I need to do is get the mini waffles so my kids don’t OD on sugar!!!
Ohhhh, girlfriend. I love you. These look wonderful!
I want to slip n slide!! And I want one of these to die for sandwiches!!
I am so jealous of the heat out there. Not hot here at all. But still eating ice cream. Toaster waffles here are squarish. Belgian waffles may be the right ones for these.
This is such a great idea, thanks for the great inspiration Kita!
I have never heard of something like this! I LOVE this idea!!! We have a bunch of old Eggos in the fridge that nobody ever eats… looks like I am going to claim them. And about the wading pool… my friends bought a 15 ft diameter above ground pool for 200 bucks it is AWESOME! We put chairs in it and a badminton net over it, true class.
Oooh so yummy! I want a purple one!!
You’re so stinkin creative! Love the colors, the idea… wowza!
Such a fun treat. I could totally see trying to sneak one of these in as breakfast food. 😉
Mmmmmm…I could totally go for these treats right now!! And my slip ‘n slide is outside waiting for Ana and I to get to it. :))
What is that purple flavor? Looks awesome! Love the idea of frozen waffels!
It was some Graters black raspberry I had stashed away. 😀
What a treat..woww! Those are some magazine quality pictures Kita! Wonderful wonderful recipe!!!
Okay – this is easy, delicious and really beautiful! I buzzed this one – so clever and your pictures are amazing! Love, love, LOVE it!
What?!? These are ridiculous! But awesome.
Holy cow…..I love this idea. I have never heard of waffles + ice cream. You are a genius.
What an awesome idea. These look delicious! And gorgeous shots too!
i’m really praying for the month of August. With all this “ice-cream month” going on I’ve been craving ice-cream like a pregnant girl. I may need new clothes soon !!! HELP!!!
These are totally brilliant. Totally!

I love waffles.

This is a dream 🙂
Either I missed this post with the summer happenings in my family or I have a really bad memory. W-O-W these look good! I came across this on Stumbleupon…naturally I “liked” it too!
OMG *_*

Really cute, I want to know which flavor of ice cream you have used. (Principally the purple one)
I was wondering if you are the photographer of these great, tempting pictures? I am a graphic designer playing around with some type and would love to use them. Let me know what you think. I am still reworking my website but it will be up within the year.
Happy baking!
