Ice cream sandwiches combine two of the best desserts—cookies and ice cream—and the pairings can be endless…even if the options in grocery stores are a bit limited. Unfortunately, that’s especially true if you’re looking for dairy- or gluten-free options. All the more reason to make your own, and this ice cream sandwich mold from Chef’n allows you to do just that at a level on par with frozen treats from your favorite ice cream shop.

Chef'n Sweet Spot Ice Cream Sandwich Maker

The Chef’n Ice Cream Sandwich Set ($20) makes four ice cream sandwiches using your favorite cookie or brownie batter. First, bake the cookies in the silicone molds. Once cooled, add ice cream with the tool included to help you scoop and spread. Then freeze for about an hour. If you want to make your own ice cream, the following two kits include an ice cream starter that you just mix with heavy cream and half-and-half.
