About Cookies and cream ice cream sandwich
Cookies and cream ice cream sandwiches are a popular dessert that originated in the United States, combining creamy vanilla ice cream swirled with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, held between two chocolate cookie layers. This indulgent treat is widely associated with American cuisine and has gained global popularity for its rich flavor and appealing texture. Nutritionally, an average serving provides approximately 200-300 calories, primarily from carbohydrates and fats, along with a small amount of protein and calcium from the ice cream. It typically contains added sugars and saturated fats, contributing to its palatable taste but making it a treat best consumed in moderation.
Health Benefits
- Calcium from the ice cream supports healthy bones and teeth, providing around 10-15% of the daily recommended intake per serving.

- Contains trace amounts of potassium from the ingredients, which can support proper muscle function and electrolyte balance.
Dietary Considerations

Common Questions About Cookies and cream ice cream sandwich Nutrition
How many calories and how much protein are in a Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich?
A typical Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich contains around 180–250 calories per serving, depending on the brand and size. Protein content is relatively low, averaging about 3–4 grams per sandwich. It's primarily a source of carbohydrates and fats due to the ice cream and cookie components.
Can I eat a Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich on a keto diet?
No, a traditional Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich is not keto-friendly. It typically contains 25–40 grams of carbohydrates per serving, primarily from added sugars and refined flours, which makes it unsuitable for a low-carb or ketogenic diet. However, keto-specific versions may be available with reduced carbs and sugar substitutes.
Are Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches vegan or vegetarian?
Regular Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches are not vegan because they typically contain dairy-based ice cream and may include eggs or animal-derived ingredients in the cookie. However, they are vegetarian, as they don't contain meat. Vegan versions using plant-based dairy alternatives are increasingly available in stores.
What is the recommended serving size for a Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich?
The standard serving size for a Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich is typically one sandwich, weighing about 60–80 grams. For portion control, it’s best to stick to one sandwich as a treat due to its high sugar and calorie content. Pairing it with a balanced meal can help moderate its nutritional impact.
How does a Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich compare to regular ice cream or a cookie for dessert?
A Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich combines the calories and sugar of both cookies and ice cream, making it higher in total calories compared to having a single cookie or a small scoop of ice cream alone. While convenient and indulgent, it’s less customizable in portion control compared to serving separate items.
