If you are following my blog for some time now, you already know that I have shared two of the most popular sandwich recipes in America already. However, if you are new, check out the camel rider sandwich recipe and Chicken Po Boy Sandwich Recipe first. Because today we will be talking about another famous sandwich recipe, which is ice cream-based, the Donut ice cream sandwich.
This is a very special type of sandwich and is most popularly known to be a treat for people in the summertime. Once July lets us know its arrival, Mother Nature allows us to get some sunshine finally. That time, this recipe feels extra special. But nothing of these renders this sandwich item unfit for the other 10 months. In fact, like millions of other people, I enjoy this sandwich throughout the year.
This glazed donut ice cream sandwich will satisfy your need for something bright and light in any day of the year. All you need to do is pack up the ingredients and get set to prepare the sandwich within minutes.
Ingredients
- Sweetened condensed milk (1 can; 14 ounces)
- Glazed donuts (12 pieces)
- Heavy whipping cream (2 cups)
- Instant coffee (1 teaspoon)
- Mocha Coffee-mate Dessert Creamer; Toasted Marshmallow (2/3 cup)
Instructions
- Take a 5×9 bread pan and line it using wax paper and set it aside. Use enough wax paper that the excess part of the paper hangs over on all the sides.
- Combine and stir in the sweetened condensed milk, instant coffee grounds, and Toasted Marshmallow Mocha Coffee-mate Dessert Creamer nicely in a large bowl.
- Take an electric mixer and, at very high speed, whip the heavy cream finely until you notice the forming of stiff peaks. Then set the whipped cream aside in another large bowl.
- Now, stir the heavy cream into the condensed milk mixture gradually using a spatula, folding at the same time. Do this until the two are swiftly combined.
- Now, into the already spread 5×9 bread pan, pour in the mixture evenly.
- Use the clear wrap to cover up the container properly and freeze it for 6-7 hours. (KEEP it there overnight, if not in a hurry.)
- The ice cream will freeze, and then remove it from the freezer and slice each donut in half. Then, onto one donut half, scoop in the ice cream.
- To finish off, top the donut with the other half, and you are done with your Donut ice cream sandwich.
Topping Ingredients
Proper toppings make the sandwiches feel extra special. You look matter, folks! So, use some sprinkles in the first place. This is the most ideal serving deal. But if you don’t care for sprinkles, you may want to roll the donuts in several different toppings. You have some other options as well.
- Cookie crumbs are certainly a great alternative
- colorful cereal pieces make the stunning topping
- You can even utilize graham crackers
- M&Ms, chocolate chips
- Even the chopped nuts or grated chocolate won’t let you down.
Make ahead of time
Yes, you can certainly make these sandwiches ahead of time. But the only problem is that the donuts easily harden if you place them in the freezer for some time. So, that will ruin the sandwiches.
In this case, if you really need to prepare them ahead, pre-scoop the ice cream at first. Then put the pre-scooped ice cream in the freezer. Later on, when you are ready with the donuts to serve, transfer the scoops to the donut halves. Enjoy! Pretty simple, isn’t it?
Recipe Note
- If you are thinking of cutting off the calories, you can cut back the donut a bit.
- You can add a twist to your sandwiches by adding up different types of ice creams.
