Happy National Ice Cream Sandwich Day! Try one of these 57 yummy recipes today!

National Ice Cream Sandwich Day is celebrated on August 2.

An ice cream sandwich is a frozen confection composed of a layer of ice cream sandwiched between two biscuits/cookies or slices of cake. Alternatives to wafers are often used, such as chocolate chip cookies, which are used by Chipwich, for example. Many companies offer alternatives to the conventional ice cream sandwich as well, such as San Francisco’s It’s-It, that uses oatmeal cookies and dips the sandwich in dark chocolate. In North America, an ice cream sandwich is a slice of ice cream, commonly vanilla although other flavors are sometimes used, sandwiched between two wafers, usually chocolate and rectangular. The current version was invented in 1945 by Jerry Newberg when he was selling ice cream at Forbes Field.

What better way to celebrate the height of summer than with an ice cream sandwich? Get out of the sun and enjoy a cool, creamy treat in the form of rich ice-cream layered between sweet biscuit bases. Delicious!
