Get the Scoop…
… on these homemade ice cream sandwiches. I scored these cute ice cream sandwich molds on clearance at Williams-Sonoma after Christmas and finally got around to using them. They were so easy and lots of fun for kids. (That includes me, too!) And the fact that they had been $14.99 and I got them for $3.99, made them taste all the sweeter.
Here’s what you do:
- Bake a brownie recipe enough for a 12 X 18 jelly roll pan
*
- Cool
- Use the forms to cut out your shapes.
- Place one brownie shape in the bottom of the capped form
- Add a scoop of your favorite ice cream
- Place the other brownie shape on top
- Press together using the part of the form with the handle to make perfectly shaped ice cream sandwiches
- Enjoy
Sorry, I didn’t get great pics of these, they were a little messy and we were too busy eating them. Next time, I’ll cut out all of the shapes in advance and then make sandwiches as needed.
Also, I don’t think it’s available anymore at Williams-Sonoma, but here are some other choices:
Triangle-Shape Ice Cream Sandwich Maker
Heart & Star Ice Cream Sandwich Maker
Farmyard Animals Ice Cream Sandwich Maker
* If you don’t have a 12 X 18 recipe, use a 13 X 9 recipe and double it.














I just have to let you know I LOVE your blog! I LOVE cooking & SWEETS and seeing all your wonderful ideas! You are just so creative! Keep up the GREAT work!

March 3, 2008 12:41 AMI bought these last year for my husband’s birthday and we’ve yet to use them – thanks for the reminder/inspiration! L-O-V-E your blog – am inspired to go take a decorating class to hone my skills!
March 3, 2008 02:08 AMThese look so yummy! I am trying to step my baking game up, so I will be trying these this weekend! Thanks:) and I agree with everyone else…lovely blog, and great work on the baking!
March 3, 2008 02:49 AMI bought these last summer & they are sooooo easy & fun to make! My kids love them. Especially when you make them with brownies & mint chocolate chip ice cream. Another good one is chocolate chip cookies and strawberry ice cream! There are so many good combos!!
March 3, 2008 03:47 AMI adore your blog- please keep showing us your amazing creations!
those ice cream sandwiches look DIVINE!
March 3, 2008 08:20 AMThose are adorable and they make ice cream sandwiches look all neat and tidy.
March 3, 2008 02:10 PMAs usual, very, very cute idea! I’ll have to eat these to celebrate Desmond and Penny’s reunion.
March 3, 2008 04:01 PMsuper duper cute. my ice cream sandwiches never come out looking that nice! and getting a bargain makes the whole thing even better.
March 3, 2008 07:12 PMThanks for ur amazing and EASY recipes, I would like to ask u how can I cook the brownies? I need the recipes
March 3, 2008 07:44 PMI have seen these and thought they’d be great to try out and fun to serve and at that price, why not! Sounds like an easy process. I might have to try it with my homemmade peanut butter cup ice cream and brownies. Yum, great site!
March 3, 2008 08:00 PMThose are so super cute!!
Man.. you always have the best ideas!
Love it!!!!!!!!!!
March 3, 2008 08:51 PMCherry Blossoms – thanks for saying so.
Jessy and her dog Winnie – I know, were so cute in the store, I couldn’t resist.
Laloo – You should use yours. After you bake your brownies, I’d construct as you want to eat them, because I made them all at one time and they got a little messy, not to mention it was a little too much to eat. Just got over excited because they were so cute.
Alia – good luck
texasdarlings – those combos sound yummy. thanks!
maichelle – thanks!
Nicole – and more fun, too!
Julia – Don’t get me started, I can’t wait until Thursday!
michelle @ thursday night smackdown – I know, I couldn’t resist the price.
BB – I found a recipe on the web. Just use any recipe for brownies as long as it is for a 12 X 18. You can even use two box mixes. Here’s the one I used, but I’m sure there are even better ones.

Love it!

March 5, 2008 08:33 PMI totally should have bought these when I saw them–we had all of these Registry gift certificates to Williams-Sonoma and BAD Mr. Cakespy made me buy cutlery instead of these ice cream sandwich makers (evil man!). I mean, come on…little piggies!? Thanks for the how-to as well! :-)
March 5, 2008 11:35 PMDiane – you can send it to bakerella AT earthlink.net
suzanne – that sounds like fun!
megan – I would have had to fight your for them. JJ
cakespy – I know… super cute, right! If I had certificates there, I would go crazy with indecision. Great store.

March 25, 2008 02:55 AMSaw you on the Martha Stewart Show today and decided to check out your blog. It’s terrific! I love it! You definately need to go into business especially now with the exposure on the show. Keep up the great work!
April 3, 2008 02:19 PMBakerella, I love your photography of your treats. Do you take them yourself? If so, what’s the secret on making them look so professional?
April 4, 2008 06:22 PMWendy – thanks so much. I’m glad you caught the show.
Monica – I do take the pics myself. I have a Canon Rebel xti and i use a 50 mm fixed lens for most of the shots.

Thank you Olga!
June 9, 2008 12:20 AMYou are an inspiration! I’ve made the red velvet cake balls and they were a hit! Found some of the ice cream sandwich molds today at Marshalls. There were only 3 of them (heart, star, and some random kind of shape)for $7.99 but I thought it would be something good to do with the grandkids this summer. Thanks for all the fun!
June 10, 2008 04:38 AMFor sure. They’ll love it.

February 27, 2011 04:12 PMIf you make these ahead of time how long can you store them in the freezer?
July 3, 2011 06:21 PMthese are really cute……I have the farm animals but i never had any inspiration for them. I think this is a great idea, using brownies instead of cookies! Now i just need some ice cream…….
