Creamy frozen dessert sandwiched between homemade vanilla graham flavored crackers, then dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with your choice of toppings.
The case of the missing ice cream.
The case I know absolutely nothing about.
Back in the day, when I was sitting on the couch refusing to run with my dad, I had a serious obsession with all kinds of food.
- Ritz crackers
- Graham crackers
- Tortilla chips
- Ruffles
- Raw cookie dough
- Frosting out of a can
& of course ice cream!
When no one was looking, I’d stealthily head to the kitchen. Grab a bowl and a spoon.
Unfortunately, my ice cream craving was slow to curb, so I would get bowl after bowl. & with each serving I’d smooth the ice cream container so no one would know I took so much.
But who keeps a neat and tidy ice cream container?!? I wasn’t fooling anyone!!
These days I love to make homemade vegan ice cream. Remember this Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream? Or that phase when I obsessed with making homemade blizzards?!? Like Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Blizzards?!?
I’ve been yearning to make another non-dairy frozen dessert this summer, but it was beginning to look it wasn’t going to happen. Luckily, I did manage to fit these Chocolate Dipped Frozen Dessert Sandwiches in. They feature So Delicious Dairy Free® Frozen Desserts.
To make these Frozen Dessert Sandwiches, we’ll start by making a vanilla graham inspired cracker. Make the dough as detailed in the recipe. Allow to chill. Then on a lightly floured surface roll dough out. Use a knife or pastry cutter to trim into a 6 x 6 inch square. Cut in half and thirds to yield six crackers. Transfer to a baking sheet and poke holes in crackers.
Then soften So Delicious Dairy Free® Frozen Desserts. This may take up to an hour. Spread into parchment lined pan. Freeze until firm. Then use scissors to cut frozen dessert into rectangles to fit crackers. Sandwich frozen dessert between two crackers. Freeze again until firm.
Once firm, dip bars in chocolate and sprinkle with toppings.
These sandwiches were literally So Delicious 😉 Not only were they fun to make, but the frozen dessert was a treat I felt good about serving. So Delicious Dairy Free® Frozen Desserts are Certified Vegan, Non-GMO Project Verified, free of artificial colors, flavors, preservatives and high-fructose corn syrup.
I was able to find these flavors at my local Walmart: Coconut Milk Simply Strawberry and Cashew Milk Salted Caramel Cluster. Both were really tasty!
I made one strawberry sandwich variety and decorated it with sprinkles. Also, I made a cashew one with chocolate chips and cashew halves. These sandwiches are customizable to everyone’s unique tastes.
Before Summer’s over, you should give these sandwiches a try! They are so much fun to make – and eat 😉

These are super cute. I love the way you spread the ice cream out and made it thin for sandwiches. Sometimes when I make them, I put too much ice cream in the middle and they are almost impossible to eat.
You can never have too much ice cream 😉 Thanks Karen!
haha I’ve always been an ice cream lover too! These days my stomach can’t handle anything other than dairy free ice cream though! So I am loving these sandwiches! You always have such fun recipes!
Aww – thanks Ashley 🙂
Wow! This sounds delicious! And so simple! A yummy snack! I can’t resist!
These sandwiches are exactly that – simple and delicious! Enjoy Rahul 😉
I’m trying my best not to drool while looking at this! 😉 Wow, these crackers sound so good, and so fun to make!

These ice cream sandwiches sound amazing right about now! It’s nearing almost eighty degrees outside.
These would make a great treat for a hot day! Thanks Nicole 🙂
Totally irresistible!
I agree! Thanks Angie 🙂
Oh my word…these are incredible!!!! And your photos are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Thanks so much, Allie!
Ah yea! Ice cream sandwich time!! (When I was little and home alone sick from school I remember going to the freezer and taking just ONE scoop of ice cream out with a spoon 😉 No one knew! Haha!)
Oh my – I never could have had just one scoop! Ha ha!! Thanks Rebecca 🙂
WOW. You made your own awesome and gorgeous chocolate-dipped ice cream sandwiches. My lactose-intolerant mom is going to love these. They’re gorgeous, too!
Thanks Mir!
Wow! These are so fun and pretty too!
Thank you, Dawn 🙂
Wow – these totally look store-bought!! Great job, Megan!
Ha Ha!! I don’t know about that! Thanks Eva 🙂
Those cookie-crackers are gorgeous. I would have sworn they were store-bought, they’re so perfect. And thank you for chocolate dipping these. Chocolate dip makes all things better.
Funny thing about running and ice cream…on days that I don’t run, I always want ice cream MORE. But it’s never as satisfying as a good sweaty run. I’m actually stalling going out on my run right now….but you motivated me to get to it!
Aww – thanks Annie! & I agree – exercising always makes me crave more ice cream!!
Hahaha! I used to sneak ice cream too.. but I was never smart enough to try and cover my tracks. 😉 I haven’t tried SO Delicious ice cream yet, although I have heard good things! Love that you used it to make ice cream sammies! That graham flavored homemade cracker looks bomb! And of course, who could say no to the chocolate dip?! PERFECT! Cheers, girlfriend!
Thanks so much, Cheyanne! I think you’ll love So Delicious! It really doesn’t taste non dairy at all!
Wow, I’m loving these cute ice cream sandwiches!!! I’d love them with all sorts of different flavored ice creams!
They are highly customizeable. Thanks Liz!
I love the So Delicious frozen desserts, and these sandwiches are making me want summer to last another 2 months! These look fantastic, Megan!
I agree! Thanks Marcie 🙂
Ok, these are totally adorable Megan! And I LOVE the homemade vanilla graham crackers! Can’t wait to try!
Thanks Mary Ann! Let me know how you like them 🙂
Girlfriend, these are the most amazing ice cream sandwiches I’ve seen in my life! Pinned!
ha ha! Thanks so much, Rachelle!
We are big ice cream sandwiches lover for dessert, especially in the Summer. I find them super expensive in the store though (4 for $6 – ouch!). I am excited to try to make my own with your recipe, thanks for walking us through!
I think you’ll love them! Thanks Pamela 🙂
Hahaha – Megan, my daughter does the whole ice cream smoothing thing too – but it”s so funny – she really isn’t fooling me because with just the two of us, I know the ice cream cannot go from full to 1/2 full when I hadn’t had any!
BTW – I so love that you made fresh homemade crackers for these ice cream sandwiches AND dunked them in melted chocolate! And you are spot on – they are so so so delicious!
Ha ha!! Thanks Shashi!
Haha ice cream was always my favorite and yes to the sneaking in more than I should have 🙂 These are the prettiest ice cream sandwiches! Love that you made your own crackers!
Aww! Thanks Kelly 🙂 Ice cream sneaking is so much fun!
Wow! These chocolate dipped dessert sandwiches look fantastic, Meghan. I’m sure my family will love this dish! Will try this for weekend dessert, and I’m sure my family will love this dish!
I bet your family will love these!! Thanks Anu 🙂
Holy cow! These dessert sandwiches look insanely good. I would devour these way too quickly 😀 yum!
I would too, Rachel, If I didn’t have to save them for pics 😉 Thanks!
Oh my gosh, that salted caramel cluster cashew ice cream between two homemade graham crackers and dipped in chocolate?!! Looks like I’ve found a new favorite dessert, these look amazing!
I think you’ll love these! Thanks Aimee 🙂
Love this recipe! I’ve always wanted to try making homemade graham crackers. These frozen chocolate dipped sandwiches look so fabulous!
Thanks Katie! The cookies are a cross between a graham cracker and a traditional ice cream sandwich wafer.
At least you got a bowl and a spoon, I would just take a spoon and stand in front of the freezer to take a few bites lol. I love these sandwiches and its fun to have customizable ones so everyone gets something extra special!
Ha ha!! I’ve done that too!! Thanks Elizabeth 🙂
I use to be a crazy ice cream lover too but now one scoop is all I can handle. Vegan ice cream on the other hand – I can totally devour. Loving these sandwiches and I LOVE So Delicious!!
Me too!! Thanks Jessica 🙂
