Instructions:
- Prepare the Ice Cream:
- Allow the ice cream to soften slightly so it’s easy to spread, but not melted. Set it aside for about 5 minutes at room temperature.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Take one rice cake and spread a thick layer of ice cream on top, about 1/2 to 1 inch thick.
- Place a second rice cake on top of the ice cream to form a sandwich. Press down gently to secure it.
- Freeze the Sandwiches:
- Place the assembled ice cream sandwiches on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 1-2 hours, or until the ice cream has firmed up.
- Optional: Decorate the Sandwiches:
- Once the sandwiches are frozen, dip the edges in melted chocolate or Nutella and then roll them in sprinkles, crushed nuts, or coconut flakes for extra flavor and texture.
- Return the sandwiches to the freezer for an additional 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Take the sandwiches out of the freezer just before serving. Enjoy the perfect blend of crispy rice cakes and creamy ice cream!
Tip: You can experiment with flavored rice cakes, different ice cream flavors, or mix-ins to create your own unique combinations. This dessert is not only fun to eat but also versatile, making it a family favorite.
