How to Make Ice Cream Sandwiches with Chocolate Ganache

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Semi-sweet chocolate offers a similar flavor at a lower cost.

Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a saucepan.

Add 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the melted butter and heat through, stirring until combined without boiling.

Gradually add 4 cups of confectioners sugar in stages, mixing well.

Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the ganache reaches a spreadable consistency.

Spread the ganache on the bottom of a cookie and let it harden.

Repeat with additional cookies until desired amount is prepared.

Scoop softened ice cream onto the ganache-covered cookie and top with another cookie, gently pressing together.

Use an offset spatula to spread the ice cream evenly between the cookies.

Place the assembled ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for about 30 minutes to set up.

Serve the ice cream sandwiches or store them in the freezer.
