Firecracker Ice Cream Sandwiches
Firecracker Ice Cream Sandwiches are the easiest 4th of July dessert—vanilla sandwiches rolled in red, white, and blue sprinkles. Kid-friendly, freezer-ready, and festive!
Ingredients
- 8 vanilla ice cream sandwiches store-bought
- ½ cup red white, and blue sprinkles
- Optional: ¼ cup vanilla frosting or melted white chocolate to help sprinkles stick if sandwiches are too frozen
Instructions
- Remove from packaging and work quickly to prevent melting.
- Let sit for 1–2 minutes if too hard to roll.
- For extra stickiness, gently spread a thin layer of frosting or melted white chocolate around the sides.
- Pour sprinkles into a shallow dish and roll the sides of each sandwich to coat.
- Place decorated sandwiches on a tray and return to the freezer for 15–20 minutes until set.
- Serve chilled. For parties, wrap in parchment or wax paper and tie with twine for a cute presentation.
