I made from scratch those weirdly-dark-brown-but-almost-black-regular-boring ones. They sucked. The cookie was crispy. ew. Couldn’t toss them because i spent like 40$ on hagen daaz (y’know, to elevate them from basic) so i put them in the way back of the freezer.
Almost 2 years later when we were moving, I found them. It was the best ice cream sandwich of my life. Cookie was soft AF! Trick is to leave the last three in there for 2 years, to ripen.
Sugar + fat is my favorite designer drug. Foods with sugar don't naturally have fat. Humans did that. Type 2 diabetes kills twice as many people per year than drug overdoses. I won't name names but I just made a desert that rhymes with fonfana fudding from the Magnolia recipe and the first spoonful left me disheveled and blissed out on the couch. If I die early, it will be this way, whispering "more" like it's the secret name of God.
I order "those soggy rectangle chocolate wafer vanilla ice cream sandwiches" by a Canadian company who makes a NSA variety, ostensibly for my T2D husband but my son and I eat them too with the excuse that we need to cut back on our sugar intake. Yeah, there's an irony to sucking back artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, etc. instead. But there's a nostalgia factor involved that's hard to ignore. We're all stress eaters here; now waiting 8 months until DH gets a needed medical procedure. I wonder what we'll replace the ics with when the weather turns cold.
It's It is It! I remember the first time Barbara Blair brought them for us in the 60's. That is one amazing sandwich. Thank you for reminding me how much I love them. :)
Honey in the tomato sauce works well. Sometimes I get wild and throw in some vegan cream cheese and Momofuku spicy salt. Being dairy and gluten free a good ice cream sandwich does not exist in my world. Though maybe I'll make one eventually. For the time being, I love those little chocolate covered ice cream bars. Enjoyed this. xx
did you know ice cream sandwiches don't melt? One time I came home from a night of drinking with a pizza slice and an ice cream sandwich and I took a bong rip, got in bed and "plugged" the ice cream sandwich into my phone charger and woke up the next morning to a damp and floppy but still whole ice cream sandwich puddled into my bed. Very gross.
We love a Fat Boy ice cream sandwich over here, despite the name, how dare, I just whisper ‘shut up’ to the box every time I have one. So good you want to hug yourself.
I think of the mint chocolate chip Big Wheel from 7-11 daily. I haven’t had one since the 80s, but their memory lingers.
Add cherry tomatoes to red sauce instead of sugar or roast the tomatoes in the oven first. Both methods a great job of adding sweetness.
It looks so normal and delicious in the photo!

It’s Its are the best (I live in SF) and the cappuccino flavor is *chef’s kiss*****
You gotta add a little sugar to the sauce~ it helps with the tomato acidity!! 💛
It honestly looks as nasty as you describe! 👏

Henry content! Here for it. Is he heading to college or more instructing for snowboarding?

Still mourning our loss of the “choco taco” over here.

It's It is it. Getting boxes of them on the cheap from a discount grocery store (Grocery Outlet) has been my secret summer thrill.
