Sometimes, it’s nice to treat yourself to something special. Ever since I was a kid I have loved ice cream sandwiches. As an adult, however, I have been a bit frightened by some of the ingredients. Maybe I’m crazy, but if I can’t easily pronounce the ingredients I usually assume it shouldn’t go in my body. I have been on a kick of making my own ice cream, especially after my husband bought me a Kitchenaid Ice Cream Bowl that works with my Kitchenaid mixer. All I do is put in the freezer for two or three days and then I can whip up my favorite homemade ice cream!
With National Waffle Day here, I decided to make a unique treat for my family – homemade ice cream sandwiches. The ice cream for this recipe has the most wonderful texture, and the sweet flavor compliments the frozen waffles that make this so quick to fix. I personally love to use Vans Love Your Heart wholegrain waffles. These waffles are made from natural ingredients and have a great taste to pair with this sweet chocolate ice cream! Make sure to tell what you think of this delicious, homemade ice cream sandwich recipe!

- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups of Heavy Whipping Cream
- 5 Tablespoons of Hersey’s Natural Unsweetened Cocoa
- 1 cup of Sugar (Pure Can Sugar Only)
- 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
- 1 cup of Whole Milk
- 2 Teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Extract
- 6 ounces of Semi-Sweet Chocolate (I use chips)
- 1 Box of Van’s Natural Foods Love Your Heart wholegrain waffles (in the frozen section)
Instructions
- ) In a saucepan, mix the heavy whipping cream, cocoa, sugar, and salt . Make sure to stir constantly to keep it from sticking.
- ) Once the mixture is at a rolling boil, remove from heat.
- ) Mix the chocolate chips into the mixture until they are completely melted.
- ) Once the chocolate mixture has melted, pour in the milk and vanilla and stir.
- ) Place the liquid mixture in a blender. This will make sure there are no chocolate chunks and that the texture is even. Blend on a low to medium low setting for 1 1/2 minutes.
- ) Place the blender full of the chocolate mixture in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours. Waiting is the hard part!
- ) Take the mixture out of the fridge. Use your ice cream maker as directed. (I use my Kitchenaid Ice Cream Bowl attachment). I like the ice cream airy and fluffy so I stir mine longer than directed.
- ) Toast your Vans waffles. When finished, place ice cream between two waffles and serve!

I agree 100 percent about ice cream that has ingredients I cannot even pronounce. I have issues about eating food that have a lot of strange things in them. My mother is allergic to wheat and my brother-in-law has Celiac’s Disease. Vans has some yummy tasting waffles that are gluten-free. These ice cream sandwiches are a great treat that everyone can eat and enjoy. Maybe some blueberry waffles and little whip cream with fresh blueberries and I just made a really nice dessert.
Oh that sounds heavenly! I am going to have to try that!
I love that there is so much protein in a dessert! I’ve never used waffles with ice cream before, but I will now. I’m not so sure about making my own ice cream though….I get impatient when I want to splurge.
This recipe looks delicious! What a sweet treat! You can’t go wrong with a great-tasting waffle plus home made chocolate ice cream!
Those sure look mighty tasty. I’m going to have to print this recipe and make these for the kiddos.
Wow, looks like it turned out fabulous!. I’m gonna try it. Thanks
This recipe brings back memories of my childhood in the 1960’s. My dad would make homemade waffles. I would fill them with ice cream and sprinkle them with powdered sugar. What a great summertime treat!
Now that looks so simple but yet so delicious. I can see where waiting is the hardest part! I never thought to use waffles and make ice cream sandwiches but that is such a great idea.
Looks good. Need to get some waffles!
I would not of thought to make ice cream sandwiches out of the Vans waffles, but this recipe sounds great and my granddaughters who have problems with gluten, would loveto enjoy these, thank you for sharing this recipe, on my list to make next timethe grandchildren are coming.
There is nothing better than waffles + ice cream! I love Van’s because they make gluten free products!
I’ve never really thought about waffles being a dessert before. This looks relatively simple to make, thanks for posting.
To much work for me, lol. I rather buy the ice cream and use Van waffles, it is much easier. Hey Susan, have you ever tried using 2% milk in your ice cream recipe?
This sandwich looks so good,I want to make this
I must say that these Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches look good enough to eat!! Yummy…my husband would love it if I made them =)
That looks so good. I’ll bet my kids would LOVE these.
That ice cream looks incredibly smooth! I have never thought to use a waffle for a “cookie”
I never thought to make ice cream sandwiches with waffles.My daughter would love it if I made these for a snack sometime!
That actually sounds really good. I never thought to use ice cream. Of course I do not have the equipment to make homemade ice cream, but im sure I could substiute it 🙂
I can remember trying this before but, with using vanilla ice cream! I bet French Vanilla ice cream would be awesome!!!!! Just hold the syrup 🙂 haha
Mmmmmm! Looks delish! Waffle and chocolate ice-cream – my fave combo!
I love ice cream sandwiches…and these are the first that I have found healthy also…thank you
Thanks Susan for this delicious recipe. Ice cream sandwiches have always been my favorite treat. I have always wanted to know how to make these–I never considered using waffles. This recipe looks simple enough for even me to be able to make it. I am going to make these this weekend.
that looks wonderful! I would have never thought to use healthy waffles!
Ok — THESE look delicious! If I am lucky enough to win some Van’s, this will be the first thing I am going to make! I’m pinning it right now!!
Those look so very yummy! I need to try this. I know they would be a hit at our house!
That sounds pretty good. I’m going to try this recipe. Thanks!
This looks very yummy. My grandchildren will love it. I’ve never tried making ice cream before, but there is a first time for everything. Thanks for the recipe.
look very yummy never thought of using waffle foe and ice cream sandwich. Gonna have to try this recipe out 🙂
Looks delicous.My favorite is ice cream. Thanks for the recipe and thanks so much for all your contests
I would probably mess with this one a little- meaning I would likely use vanilla or mint chocolate chip ice cream and then I would throw Nutella on the waffles, and then scrunch it together for a treat. I like to experiment, and while I love chocolate ice cream to distraction, I know how I am, and I would have to use some unusual stuff to make my ice cream sandwich unique. I do, however, really like the idea of using the gluten-free waffles for an ice cream sandwich- genius!
Homemade ice cream tastes so much better than most store bought brands. I like this version of an ice cream sandwich. And best of all, it’s quick and easy to make.
