- 6 soft cookies or sweetbread rolls Pandesal or buttery sandwich bread works well.
- optional sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or toasted coconut Add for extra fun toppings.

Instructions
Prepare the ice cream
- Let the ube ice cream sit out for a few minutes to soften, making it easier to spread.
Assemble the sandwiches
- Take your chosen cookies and split them open if needed.
- Drop a fat scoop of ube ice cream in the middle.
- If using bread, slice it but don’t cut all the way; it should resemble an ice cream sub.
- Flatten gently to keep the ice cream from oozing out.
- Top with optional sprinkles or chocolate chips.
- If the cookies are crumbly, a dab of melted butter helps keep them soft.
Freeze and serve
- Place the assembled sandwiches in the freezer on a tray for about 30 minutes.
- Serve them stacked on a plate or wrapped in wax paper for a grab-and-go treat.
- Enjoy them on a hot day or while binge-watching your favorite shows.
