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. 🙂

Our son just turned TWENTY and I can hardly wrap m Our son just turned TWENTY and I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that we’ve completed two decades of parenting! I’ve had time to reflect on this season of life and shared some of my thoughts over at @club31women.

“Someday, years from now, we will watch home movies of the year 2023. And it will seem like I am peeking into the life of another family. I will have vague memories of those moments but my life will be so consumed with what is currently happening that it will seem like another lifetime. So, I embrace this season…this day…this moment. And I choose to declare that the emotional war in my heart between ‘what could have been’ and ‘what might be yet to come’ is over. I’m waving the white flag. I want my children to know that it is good and proper that they grow up and leave the nest. I want them to know that I can celebrate the passing of time rather than resist it even if there may be a few bittersweet tears that spill over from time to time.”

Head over to their devotional page to read the rest and I hope my words bring you encouragement for wherever you are on your parenting journey. 🤍
There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards of your labor! The whole family pitched in to get our bark spread around the yard (I’m the master at raking it until it’s nice and even) and by the end of the day we were all done. Now we can head into summer with our big yard projects completed! 🙌🏻 Do you put in fresh bark every year?
Welcome June! I’m so glad you’re here! What’ Welcome June! I’m so glad you’re here! What’s your favorite thing about this month? Mind can be summed up in this quote…

“In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different.” John Steinbeck
“No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom “No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.”
General Douglas MacArthur

Grateful today and every day for those who were vigilant to the point of death in the preservation of our freedom and the principles upon which our country was founded. May we honor their sacrifice by being vigilant too. #memorialday
I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables t I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables to pit next to our outdoor couch and when I spotted these plant stands at @walmart from their @betterhomesandgardens line I knew they would be perfect…and they are!! 👏🏻 This is not a sponsored post. I’m just happily sharing this great find and why we should always be open to thinking outside of the box when it comes finding solutions for our decorating dilemmas.

Now we’re ready to head into this beautiful weekend! ☀️
What do you do when you want to use a bunch of boo What do you do when you want to use a bunch of books in your decorating but it can cost $50 or more for just ONE brand new book? Head to the secondhand bookstore of course! I’m so excited about this new look in my family room and this easy, inexpensive decorating tip I’m bringing to you for this #tiptuesday
Today feels like one of those days that is worthy Today feels like one of those days that is worthy of a chef’s kiss. Blue sky with nary a cloud in sight, perfect mid-70’s temps, a gentle breeze blowing through my hair as I walk around my yard to see the status of my flowering plants.

This morning I was running errands and the weight of hard things that are happening in the world, the culture, my own community and even in our circle of friends just felt so heavy.

But, as I was exiting a store, I passed a couple who were in their late 60’s/early 70’s and holding hands as they walked through the parking lot. I happened to glance over just as the husband lifted his wife’s hand up and planted a kiss right on it. It was a moment that reflected such love and tenderness and it was made sweeter by the fact that they weren’t spring chickens. I felt honored that I had been the one to observe and appreciate that moment.

What an incredible thing it is that as humans we are able to hold so many emotions in our souls all at once. To feel sorrow for the pain a friend is enduring, grieve the decline of a culture drifting further from the Lord, ponder how to navigate a challenging school situation, marvel at and enjoy the beauty of creation right outside my door and feel joy at getting to see a tangible example of lasting love while walking through a parking lot.

I truly believe that as we mature in our lives and in our faith, we learn to embrace the tension that comes with the collision of different emotions and recognize that they can all coexist at the same time without one taking something away from another. Simple joys make the hard stuff a bit easier and hard stuff makes us appreciate those simple joys even more.

What’s a simple joy that you are thankful for today?
Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here are some highlights…

*Friday night I joined some wonderful ladies at church for a time of fellowship and yummy desserts. I made a strawberry lemon coffee cake and it was amazing if I do say so myself. ☺️ We are new-ish to this church and have just felt so warmly welcomed and folded in which has been very healing.

*Saturday was filled with getting our outdoor spaces spiffed up and my guys got our new table put together!

*Sitting outside for lunch with a yummy salad and iced tea felt like a little slice of heaven.

*Sunday we went to the iris gardens with my in-laws and then came home for naps and the most mouth watering ribs that my sweet husband had on the smoker all day.

*This glorious weekend ended with some ferocious rounds of UNO-corn (a hilarious version of UNO) and brownies my sweet daughter made for our dessert.

How was your weekend sweet friends? 🌸
I am absolutely and completely a better version of I am absolutely and completely a better version of myself when the sun is shining! Raise your hand if this is true for you too.

And, not only do I feel myself seeming to physically rise up from a slumbered state to greet the sunshine we've been longing for, I find that it seems like my house is rising up too. Every room, every nook and cranny (even though I now see dust bunnies that I missed during my cleaning on the dreary days), every leaf and flower outside...it's all coming to life and breathing fresh hope into my spirit. What a gift it is to be able to enjoy this home in all of the seasons of the year and of our lives. Now, I'm going to head outside and clean our deck and maybe there will be some time leftover for those dust bunnies!
I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispenser I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispensers! They come with pre-made labels for SO many different options and would make a great Mother’s Day gift! I love how they add a bit of pizzazz to my kitchen. And they go perfectly with some of my antique accessories like the little dish my mother in law gave me for salt and pepper and the tiny toothpick holder which belonged to my great grandmother. 

If you’d like the link to order them, just leave a comment with the word ‘bottles’ and I’ll send it your way. They’re even on sale right now! 🙌🏻
