How to Make 4th of July Ice Cream Sandwiches

• Step 1 – Unwrap each ice cream sandwich one at a time.
• Step 2 – Place the festive sprinkles onto a flat surface.
• Step 3 – Place the ice cream sandwich down onto the place with the ice cream down so the sprinkles stick to the ice cream. Coat all four sides.
• Step 4 – Place the ice cream sandwich back into the freezer to freeze again. Continue to do this with each ice cream sandwich.
• Step 5 – Serve when you are ready and enjoy!

Homemade Option

Create homemade ice cream sandwiches if you would like. Then use the sprinkles to make it festive for the fourth.

Make Ahead and Storage

You can make these ahead of time. Assemble them and wrap in saran wrap and place back in the fridge until ready to serve. If you are going to have them in the freezer for longer than a day, go ahead and place the wrapped sandwiches in a freezer bag until ready to serve.

Expert Tips

• Serving – I like to separate them with parchment paper and everyone also has something handy to hold their dessert in.
• Work Quickly – To prevent the ice cream sandwiches from melting, make sure you work quickly by placing the sprinkles on the ice cream sandwich.
