Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ice Cream Sandwiches

It’s amazing how easily some biscuits and a tub of ice cream can be transformed into both an extraordinary Christmas dessert and a great way of spending time with the kids. Fun and colourful, these ice cream sandwiches can be made using any or all of your favourite biscuits. Just hand everyone a spoon and let them build their own yummy towers, then finish the creations off with a swirl of decadent chocolate sauce.
