This Nutella Ice Cream Sandwich is the perfect treat for busy kids (and grown-ups, too!) on a hot summer afternoon. Quick to make and fun to eat. https://www.lanascooking.com/nutella-ice-cream-sandwich/

This recipe melds summer, hungry children and Nutella together in the best possible way. After spending an afternoon last week swimming and playing, I had two ravenous grands with far too much time left until dinner.

Knowing that a snack was in order, I grabbed the Nutella jar, some cookies, and some ice cream and went to work. I know what you’re thinking – “cookies, ice cream, and Nutella? What are you thinking?”

Well, because I’m Nana, it is my prerogative to spoil them at every possible opportunity, you know. Besides I got a bunch of kisses and hugs for this snack. It was a win-win all the way around.

This is so simple you don’t really need a recipe, but I wrote one up for you anyway.

How to Make a Nutella Ice Cream Sandwich

For each ice cream sandwich, you’ll need two cookies of your choice (I used sugar cookies with sprinkles – graham crackers or chocolate chip would also be good), two tablespoons of Nutella, and a scoop of ice cream.

Two sugar cookies spread with Nutella.

Spread the bottoms of the cookies with Nutella.

Two cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on one.

Add a scoop of slightly softened ice cream on one of the cookies and top with the other cookie.

Hand this to a hungry child and watch them devour it!

  6. Lauren at Keep It Sweet says:

    Fantastic idea! I kind of want to do this with some peanut butter now:-)

    1. Peanut butter sounds fantastic. With graham crackers and chocolate ice cream. Yep.

  7. SMITH BITES says:

    i’m betting your the favorite grandma this side of the mason-dixon line . . .

    1. Maybe! For today anyway. Well, while I was handing out ice cream sandwiches for sure :-)

  8. Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen says:

    Oh darn you, now I’m not going to be able to get these out of my head. I must make this ASAP!

    1. The only way to get them out of your head and is to make them!

  9. kisses and hugs and a belly full of goodness – perfect summertime fun for adults too

    1. You know you’ve got a winner when the kids are silent while eating :-) then there are hugs and kisses after.

  10. DessertForTwo says:

    I could eat this every day after work!

  11. I soooooo want about half a dozen of these RIGHT now!

  12. I don’t have any kids at home but I want one anyway! :) I’m betting Grumpy would like this too.

    1. And you could lighten this up a lot, Shelby. Use graham crackers and a low-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt.

  13. Alison @ ingredients, Inc. says:

    I want one!!

    1. Come on over! I’ll save one for you.

  14. Nelly Rodriguez says:

    I need these in my life!

    1. Everyone needs one of these. Honestly.

  15. Barbara | Creative Culinary says:

    OK, true confession. I’m not one of those Nutellaholics. I can’t even imagine eating it from a spoon (peanut butter either). I think I must have tried that once and it turned me off so much I stayed clear. Then I made some mini cupcakes from a recipe of Abby Dodge’s that had Nutella in it and that made all the difference. All the difference in the world!

    So I can HONESTLY say these look so perfect…for kids and adults and yes, even me!

    1. I like it in small amounts, too, Barbara. The little bit spread on these cookies was just right!

  16. This looks so delicious!!! Your pictures are fantastic as well! :)

  17. This is brilliant. And exactly what I would love this afternoon! Oh…and I would share with my kids, lol.

    1. Oh, yes! Do share with the kids. You’ll get wet, sticky Nutella kisses from them :-)
