Instructions
Cooking the Waffles

Assembling the Sandwiches
- While waffles cool, move your ice cream to the fridge for 5 minutes for easier scooping.
- Scoop ice cream onto the flat side of one waffle, covering the center.
- Top with another waffle and lightly press to seal the edges without smashing.
- Roll the sides in toppings if desired.
- Freeze sandwiches for 20 to 30 minutes for clean bites or enjoy right away.
Notes
These sandwiches are best enjoyed with a little crispiness in the waffle. Store tightly wrapped in parchment and in a freezer bag for up to 1 week. Let sit out for a few minutes before eating for best texture.
