Ice Cream Sandwich Maker???

In summary, the ice cream sandwich maker is worthless and easier and faster to make ice cream sandwiches by hand.

I hosted an ice cream party over the weekend and used the ice cream sandwich maker. I felt so silly looking at the picture in the catalog and reading through the instructions, but I don't think we really were using it properly. Can someone please "dumb down" the use of this product?!?
 
Ummm, yeah.......the ice cream sandwich maker. IMHO - it's worthless! It's easier and faster to make ice cream sandwiches by hand. Use the large SS scoop to bake your cookies - making sure that the scoop is filled and leveled off to the top for each cookie. Bake the cookies, and once cooled, put a scoop of ice cream on one, press the other cookie on top of it, and roll in assorted toppings.:D
 
I have a pdf of the instructions. Email me.

Or, it might even still be behind CC. You could search and find out.

edited to add---ooh, look! I can actually attach it here!

This is so true! I hate this product! I think it is easier to use if you think of it more as a "guide" to keep things stacked neatly than a "tool" which would be doing something.

Also, soft Pepperidge Farm cookies (the big ones) fit in just right and will keep you from having to make your own homemade cookies.
 
Archway cookies are just the right size, too. As are the Meijer-brand version. I love the Meijer molasses cookies with coffee ice cream. mmm.....

Ooh...that sounds good!
 
I actually sell a lot of the ice cream sandwich makers and I find it makes them perfectly...but the catalog picture doesn't show to use it well (AT ALL).

You basically do reverse of the picture; put cookie in, then 2 scoops of ice cream (that is a bit softened) and then another cookie on top. Then to actually MAKE the sandwich....you turn it over so last cookie is now on a cutting board/surface. Press the gray plunger like thing down, firm but not to firm, until you see the ice cream squeeze between the two cookies. This spreads the ice cream out well, makes an even ice cream sandwich, and allows for easy rolling in other things like crushed nuts, sprinkles, etc.

In my area, store bought Franz brand cookies work best.

I sell these by suggesting that a) you can control what goes in your ice cream sandwich (so can use frozen yogurt, low fat cookies, etc); and b) you can make a lot ahead of time and freeze individualy, and c) great activity to do with kids.

Pics of the event I hosted are on my blog. We used Sams Club cookies which were perfectly soft to work with and used both the ice cream sandwich maker and dipper. Everyone loved the dipper but 2 gals got the sandwich maker and left puzzled. I also told those 2 that they could use it for forming hamburger patties and individual meatloaf rounds. {sigh... hope they enjoy it!}

Overall it was a great event - lots of cookies and ice creams/frozen yogurts!
 
Sounds like you had a good time.

We only use ours because our 4 yr. old thinks it's the best thing ever! Once the kids are grown - it's out...

THAT'S who she reminds me of!! Thanks, Kelly!! LOL! You're right! ;)

Oh, and back on topic - the ice cream sandwich maker - I've sold a bunch of them when I demo them at summer shows. I use the cookies from the grocery store bakery (they're always a bit bigger than the pre-packaged) and bring them myself, then tell the host to supply her favorite ice cream and sprinkles/nuts. I do it how it was described (1 cookie, 2 scoops of soft ice cream, 1 more cookie, MUSH), then roll it in the sprinkles or nuts. I then cut them in half and let everyone take a piece (displayed beautifully on my Simple Additions, of course!). I've sold a ton of them this way, but they even sell without me even bringing them to shows, so I guess people like them around here. Hey, it's Philly, the fattest city in the country - of course we like our ice cream cookie sandwiches!! LOL! ;)

You can also bake 2 boxes of brownie mix in the Lg Stoneware bar pan, then cut your brownines into circles (using the ic sand. maker) while they are warm from the oven. Remove frome the pan, cool then use those perfect little circles of chocolate to make brownie ice cream sandwiches.
