Maybe you’re hosting a family Easter get together or just want to try something fun for the kiddos or a spring themed party.
It’s super simple, you only need three things for this recipe:
• Crackers/biscuits like tennis biscuits or wafers
• Vanilla Ice-cream
• Food colouring
The first step is to separate your vanilla ice-cream into as many bowls as you want colours. You need about 1.5 cups of ice-cream for each sandwich. If you want to make it even more simple, you can stick to one colour and then you don’t have to worry about making separate portions.
Then play with your food colouring and mix up some different colours. Once you’re happy with your colours, put the ice-cream back in the freezer to harden for at least an hour.
Scoop out the amount for each sandwich and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet, right up against the edge. Let the ice-cream soften a bit so you can smooth it out to create flat-ish rectangles.
Put the tray back in the freezer to let the ice-cream harden again for at least an hour. Then when they’re hard, carefully sandwich them between your wafers/crackers. The parchment should peel away easily if you let the ice-cream harden. You’ll get a very rough looking ice-cream sandwich. This is where you take a large sharp knife and some room temperature water and carefully trim off the rough edges.
Return them to the freezer one last time to get them nice and firm before you serve them.
