The very creative (and oh so tasty) ice cream sandwich was originally created in New York City in 1899 by a pushcart salesman. Fast forward a few decades, and the Chipwich was invented by Richard LaMotta, an ice cream sandwich made by placing vanilla ice cream with two chocolate chip cookies. It’s hard to imagine that the ice cream sandwich has been in our lives for more than 100 years already!
Ice Cream Sandwich Ingredients
Ice Cream: For this recipe you will make homemade ice cream with mascarpone and whipped cream. As with most homemade ice creams, it will be soft enough to spread onto the cookie base. If you use store-bought ice cream instead, see our tips below on choosing the best ice cream.
Flavoring: dark chocolate flakes and coffee are used to flavor the ice cream.
Biscuits: This recipe uses a type of shortbread biscuit (Tastino Petit Beurre).
