How to Make Easy Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
You can certainly make these ice cream sandwiches with your favorite homemade brownie recipe. The result will be just as delicious! But for this recipe, I wanted things to be super duper simple, so I decided to go with a boxed mix instead!
My all-time favorite boxed mix brownies are the Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate brownies. They taste just like homemade and you can whip them up in about five minutes! So easy. They’re gooey and so chocolatey – perfect for any chocolate lover! But of course, feel free to use your favorite brownie mix for these!
Now, when it comes to making these ice cream sandwiches, you will need to do a few creative things to get just the right thickness of brownies and size for the ice cream sandwiches. But keep on reading for my tips!
Tips for the Best Mint Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches
- You can use your favorite boxed brownie mix or make your favorite homemade mix for these ice cream sandwiches. All brownie recipes are a bit different, but I would recommend baking your brownies in a pan that is double the size that that recipe calls for (or splitting the recipe into two pans). This will give you ultra-thin brownies, which are perfect for these ice cream sandwiches! I used a 9×13 inch pan for mine.
- Be sure not to overbake your brownies. We are going for slightly underdone here! This makes them much easier to eat after they have been frozen. For the baking time on your brownies, I would start with cutting the time on the back of the box in half and then monitoring the brownies as they bake! Brownies are done when the edges are set and the middle is still slightly gooey.
- Use a square cookie cutter to cut your brownies and ice cream portions! This made assembling the sandwiches a breeze. And my OCD self was very happy that they were all the same size! I purchased this set of 3 cookie cutters off of Amazon so that I could have a variety of sizes to choose from!
- Be sure to freeze your assembled brownie ice cream sandwiches for at least a couple of hours so that they have time to set. But if you really can’t wait, go ahead and dig in! They will just be a bit messy.
If you want to get creative with these ice cream sandwiches, use whatever ice cream is your favorite! The next time I make these, I might try a coffee ice cream. Yum!

This is not a recipe...100% store bought.
My mom used to do this for us when we were kids. And I continued the tradition. My personal favorite is oatmeal raisin cookies with mint and chip ice cream. Any combination works! Like the brownie idea. It's hot here where I live (freaking 93F) so bust out the ice cream maker or head to the store. Will make for the kids at work, have not made this for them yet, they are gonna love it! Thanks for sharing.
