Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches
If you love classic Chipwiches, then you’ll love this s’mores twist with Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches.
Today is a day of celebration because it is my birthday. Happy birthday to me! I’m not the type to have big birthday celebrations. Growing up, my birthdays usually flopped, ranging from nobody showing up to my skating party to family being sick to just not being very good days. However, the one thing that is a must is a decadent dessert. Instead of cake this year, I made Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches, a few of my favorite things rolled into one dessert. Chocolate chip cookies, toasted marshmallows, and ice cream. Looks like today is going to be a great day.
A few weeks ago, I went down to DC, and it was a bit on the warm side. Ice cream trucks lined the streets, bribing everyone with childhood treats, including those chocolate chip cookie sandwiches. You know, vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies then rolled in chocolate chips. However, I couldn’t justify spending $4 on one, so I put it out of my mind.
But I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Why don’t I make my own? However, I didn’t want to blog the traditional chipwich. No, I wanted to put a moosey twist on it, and then I started thinking about toasted marshmallows (well, I’m always thinking about toasted marshmallows). I’ve melted toasted marshmallows into hot cocoa, why don’t I melt them into ice cream?
I broiled the marshmallows then melted them into a basic ice cream custard base. I was debating on adding chocolate and graham crackers to make it smores ice cream, but since the sandwiches were going to be rolled into chocolate, I decided not to (but it’s on my list for this summer – don’t you worry!)
The hardest part was getting the chocolate chips to stick. I tried rolling but then gave up and just started sticking them by hand into the ice cream. The cookie sandwiches do get a bit messy assembling, but it isn’t ice cream without a bit of a mess.
So here’s to another year of being alive, another year of discovering life’s answers, another year taking risks and having fun (and another year of consuming calories).

Ingredients
- 12 large marshmallows
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 chocolate chip cookies
- Chocolate chips, for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. On a broiler-safe pan, toast the marshmallows until brown, rotating to toast all of the sides. Remove from the broiler and let cool.
- In a large bowl, add some ice and water to create a water bath. Place a smaller bowl inside the water bath. Add 1/2 cup cream to the smaller bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, warm up the remaining 1/2 cup cream, milk, sugar, and salt.
- Once warm but not boiling, add a little bit of the milk to the yolks in a small bowl and whisk together.
- Pour the yolks into the saucepan and cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Whisk in the toasted marshmallows and vanilla until melted and smooth.
- Remove from the heat and pour into the reserved cream sitting in the water bath. Let cool to room temperature then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until cold.
- Once cold, churn the ice cream mixture according to your ice cream machine's instructions. Freeze until firm, preferably overnight.
- Freeze the cookies for at least 15 minutes.
- Working with one sandwich at a time, place a scoop or two of the ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie. Sandwich it together with another cookie. Roll (or press) the chocolate chips into the ice cream Place in the freezer as you finish assembling. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.

Wow Carla, I LOVE these ice cream sandwiches! I agree, you need a little mess when you eat ice cream sandwiches, otherwise it’s not as fun! Adding the toasted marshmallows was a fabulous idea!
Thanks Tanya!

What a great idea! I would never think to melt marshmallows into ice cream, but it makes perfect sense. I like the idea of adding graham crackers and melted chocolate, too, so I’ll be watching for that recipes as well. Happy birthday!
I’m hoping to make the smores ice cream soon! I’m so excited just thinking about it. Thanks Linda!
Carla–YUM! Looks delicious. My list of things to try this summer is less fun than yours–it includes radishes and herbs turned into a veggie dip or spreadable cheese.
Happy birthday to you!
I love vegetables, so your list isn’t boring at all! I’ll bring dessert if you bring the dip ;) Thanks Kirsten!
Happy Birthday Carla! I came here from Kim’s site. You have a very nice blog, and these ice cream sandwiches look yummy. I’ve never made ice cream sandwiches before but I have to make one this summer. Homemade ones are the best! Hope you are having a wonderful b-day!
Welcome Nami, and thank you! You definitely need to add ice cream sandwiches to your summer list. It won’t be summer without one ;)

Hear hear, Carla! Happy birthday, dear friend. You are definitely going to have a good day (you’re in Dolly Wood, for goodness’ sake!) and you deserve it. You deserve everything good, wonderful, exciting, delicious and exhilarating the world has to offer. Screw those people who didn’t show up for your skating party (that’s cold, man. Real cold)! You’re an amazing blogger but an even more amazing person. Thanks for being a fabulous friend and for listening to my endless griping. You know I’d do the same for you! As for these ice cream sammiches – aw hells yeah!
Yes, the day was pretty great (minus me getting too old for some of the rides ;) ) I wish we could meet for lunch and just chow down on these ice cream sandwiches! In the meantime, we will just have to continue our endless griping back and forth ;)
Gorgeous cookies! These remind me of the chipwiches from the ice cream man that my sister was in love with growing up! I love your moosey twist on them. I’ve never thought to add marshmallow to ice cream like you did (I usually just think of it as a swirl or individual marshmallows!). Anyway, here’s wishing you an amazing year ahead! xo
Thanks Kelly!
Happy Birthday, Carla! These look AWESOME!!
Thank you, Kelly!
Happiest of birthdays to you! These are a perfect way to celebrate, and thanks for including instructions for those of us without an ice cream maker!
Anytime! Figuring out how to make ice cream without a maker is one of the best things I’ve learned. I really don’t need another machine. Thanks Anna!
What a perfect birthday treat!
Thanks Jen!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! And I want an ice cream sandwich now, so thanks. ;)
