Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Ice cream (any flavor)
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Sprinkles
- 0.5 cup Crushed nuts
- 0.25 cup Caramel sauce
- 0.25 cup Chocolate sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with nonstick spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour the batter into the waffle iron, using the amount recommended by the manufacturer (about 1/2 cup per waffle for most standard waffle irons). Cook until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining batter.
Allow the waffles to cool completely on a wire rack. This is important to ensure they don't melt the ice cream.
Once cooled, cut the waffles into even sections or leave them whole, depending on the size desired for your sandwiches.
Scoop about 1/2 cup of ice cream onto one waffle section. Add another waffle section on top, gently pressing down to form a sandwich.
Roll the edges of the ice cream sandwich in mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or crushed nuts, pressing gently to adhere.
Optional: Drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce over the top for added flair.
Place the finished sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Remove from the freezer and serve immediately. Enjoy your customizable waffle ice cream sandwiches with the works!
