Who loves ice cream? Who loves homemade ice cream? C’mon now, raise your hand!!! Okay, I admit…we LOVE ice cream here in our home but we really love to make it ourselves. We grow several different kinds of fruits here on our property so making homemade ice cream and frozen yogurts is something we do pretty often.
Did you all know that July is National Ice Cream Month? Well it is! We would love to know what your favorite flavor is? We know you have one, so tell us! The great folks over at Nielsen-Massey Vanillas sent over this delicious looking ice cream sandwiches recipe.

Oh wow, these are ambitious but soo yummy looking! Definitely worth it!
This looks like a great recipe . I love Nielsen-Massey extracts but have not yet tried their lemon one.
Those look great! Especially the homemade strawberry ice cream.
These strawberry ice cream sandwiches look delicious. These ice cream sandwiches are just the thing for cooling off on a hot summer day, I can’t wait to give them a try. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Oh wow those look good – gonna want to make!
Confession: I have not gotten my ice cream machine out once so far this year. Your strawberry ice cream recipe might be just the push I need, though. And I like that it doesn’t require eggs or making a custard base. Thanks!
This looks so good and has many winning flavors…cookie, ice cream, strawberries, and chocolate! Yum!
These sound great! I have been wanting to try the Nielsen-Massey vanillas. Now, I might have to break down and buy some! Thanks for sharing!
Just wondering if you have made these yet? They look delicious and I love strawberry ice cream for sure! But it may be a little beyond my culinary abilities. But oh my do they look good!
I want the strawberry ice cream sandwiches. I like the idea of putting the ice cream in a pan and using a cookie cutter to get a good shape.
Yum! These sound so wonderful! And easy to make. I’ll put this on my summer recipe list!
