Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 2 cups chocolate ice cream slightly softened

Equipment

  • 1 9×9 baking pan lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Freezer-safe container
  • 1 Sharp knife for slicing sandwiches

Method
 

  1. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
    1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
    1 large egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  4. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt just until a soft dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  5. Press half of the dough evenly into the prepared pan to form the bottom layer.
  6. Spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the dough layer.
    2 cups chocolate ice cream
  7. Gently press the remaining dough over the ice cream, smoothing the top as evenly as possible.
  8. Cover the pan tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
  9. Lift the dessert out using the parchment paper, slice into squares, and serve immediately.

Notes

• For easier slicing, let the ice cream soften slightly before spreading so it layers smoothly.
• If the dough feels sticky, lightly grease your hands or press it between sheets of parchment paper.
• Freeze until fully firm before slicing for clean, sharp edges.
• Store leftover ice cream sandwiches tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
• Swap chocolate ice cream for vanilla or cookies & cream for a fun variation.
