Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich; freshly baked oatmeal cookies with a slice of vanilla ice cream between the two, then decorated with sprinkles or dipped in chocolate! Who screams for ice cream?? Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich - The Foodie Affair

I saw this cool way to slice ice cream right into the container while checking out different sites on Stumble Upon, and thought that a copycat  IT’S-IT Ice Cream Sandwich would be the perfect recipe to try this fun way to serve ice cream!  

You’ve had one of those amazing, decadent treats before, right?!  IT’S-ITS have been around for a long time, and at one time only sold in San Francisco where the company is based. Now they’re sold world-wide, and there are several flavors you can choose like mint, chocolate, and cappuccino ice cream.

As you enter the city from the South, you can see a big sign and photo of an IT’S-ITS. It’s pretty prominent and always a landmark reminding me that we’re almost in San Francisco! Yeah, most have their eye on the Golden Gate Bridge or cable cars, while I have ice cream on my mind!

I was really happy with the way these came out. The cookies are flat, which is perfect for making a sandwich! To help with that same idea, I ground up half of the oatmeal so the oats wouldn’t be rough. Kind of a minor detail, but I intended to dip the whole cookie in Magic Chocolate Shell Ice Cream Topping  just like an IT’S-IT, and I wanted the chocolate to have a smooth finish.

For this batch I ended up using a small pastry brush and added the chocolate only to the ice cream showing on the edge of the sandwich. It’s a perfect amount of crunch and chocolaty flavor. If you want to dip the whole cookie in chocolate be sure you freeze the assembled cookie for at least an hour before dipping. Oh, and double dipping is allowed!

    2. Love these Sandra. I have always loved It’s It ice cream sandwiches and wish I could have one right now. But it’s not part of this new Low-Carb diet that I am on right now. 🙁 But I will just enjoy yours from your great photos.

    7. I never thought you could slice an ice cream that way and make a sandwich. I was showing your cookie ice cream photo to my son and he was wowed. This looks delicious. This could be a fun activity for me and my cooking buddy son.

      • Yes, this is definitely a fun recipe to make together with our son! You might end up with a few less cookies, but that all part of the fun; taste testing while assembling 🙂

    10. I have zero doubt that I’d be dubbed mom of the year if I made these… Maybe I’d be dubbed wife of the year too, by hubby. 😉
