It’s “wicked awesome” ~ Ice Cream Chipwich

homemade ice cream sandwiches with sprinkles atthepicketfence.com

I’ve lived on the west coast for the last seven years and it’s taken me about that long to form a west coast orientation in my brain.  I no longer envision the cliff walk  overlooking mansions when people say “Newport” or the rocky shores of Maine when people say “Portland”.

But every now and then I’ll wax nostalgic on something from childhood and with shocked amazement realize that it was purely a regional thing.   I’m still shocked that in some parts of the country munchkins and donut holes are not interchangeable words, or that not everyone grew up with a fluffernutter as the alternative on their school’s lunch menu,  and that “pigpile” is not what you yelled as a kid before you jumped on a heap of your friends.

So it should come as no surprise when I texted my friend to tell her that we were bringing homemade Chipwichs to her house for dessert, she replied “I have no idea what those are but that sounds great.”

Naming conventions aside, these chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches are one of the easiest and most delicious treats of summer.

The day after school ended we broke out our ice cream maker and adapted Julia Child’s Mocha Chocolate Chips (from Baking with Julia) to make these.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into chunks
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (packed) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 bag Nestle chocolate chunks & 1/2 bag Nestle semi sweet chips

Instructions

  • Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl to blend; set aside.
  • Put the butter in the bowl of mixer and beat on medium until butter is light in color.
  • Add granulated sugar and beat 30 more seconds.
  • Add brown sugar and beat for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating for a minute after each addition.
  • Add the vanilla and beat until blended.
  • With mixer on low, add the dry ingredients, mixing until incorporated.
  • Fold in chocolate chunks & chips.
  • Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for a few hours, or preferably overnight.
  • Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through.
  • *Julia's notes say to bake on heavy baking pans, or double up your baking pans to avoid burning the bottoms of the cookies.
  • Once cooled, pair matching cookie sizes together. Spread softened ice cream on one side, top with second cookie and fill in the gaps with extra ice cream in the cookie sandwich. Pour mini chips or sprinkles (aka jimmies if you're from my state) into a shallow bowl and roll ice cream edges into garnish. Wrap with plastic & freeze to harden. Enjoy!

I’ll always be partial to the real Chipwich but there’s something about the extra creaminess of  homemade vanilla ice cream and the chewy texture of Julia’s cookies that make this version truly decadent.

      Nothing wrong with that! It’s 10am on the west coast and we’re having a mid-morning milkshake (or frappe if you’re from Massachusetts!) 🙂 That’s the beauty of summer, right?

    To use a southern expression…..”Lord have mercy!” Those look delicious. Wish I could reach through the computer monitor to grab one right now. The fact that everything is homemade makes them even better, I’m sure! I have always lived in GA, so I probably think of other areas in the U.S. the way you did. I believe what I see on tv as how it must be to live there. I live a sheltered life! But, I knew what a chipwich was.

    Putting this on my list right now for our next movie night. A bunch of us get together, bring a dish, let the kids pick a movie and we show it on a big outdoor screen. (sheet stretched across between poles). I will be very popular when I bring these. 🙂

I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7

The sun decided to make another appearance today! The sun decided to make another appearance today! It’s been such a lovely Sunday. Chocolate croissants for breakfast followed by church then naps/football/reading/etc and soon we’ll be heading out to dinner with friends. These are my favorite kind of weekends. Hope yours has been lovely too! 🌿
Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshi Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshine is breaking through the fog and my house just seems happier. We definitely needed to see that light streaming in through the windows and it’s a gift I don’t take for granted.

And yes, there are still twinkle lights on my mantle because those help when the sunshine goes away again. ✨
Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here in the Willamette Valley has me feeling less frustrated about my migraine forcing me to just snuggle up indoors and these flowers in my kitchen are lifting my spirits. What are you up to on this holiday weekend?
It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. H “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favor Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favorite for sure. Everything is still festive and decorated but there’s none of the stress of the cooking and wrapping and making preparations. It’s the week where we get to take everything slowly and simply enjoy being together while the house still has twinkling lights and we can just be cozy.

What about you? How will you be spending this week? ✨
