Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ok friends... the title may sound weird,  this combination of Snickerdoodle cookies with Cookies & Cream Ice cream may sound even weirder. But the chewy, light cinnamon-sugar flavor of the Snickerdoodles taste DIVINE with my homemade Cookies & Cream Ice cream. and vwa-laa: Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Sandwiches are born!
Michel ate his fair share yesterday and I (the one who normally has amazing self-control) just HAD to have seconds as well.


Give this recipe a try... you won't be disappointed!

3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. of vanilla
2 cups cream
1 cup milk
15 Oreos (or 30 mini Oreos)


1. Set up your ice-cream maker, according to directions. (I LOVE my Cuisinart Ice-cream maker... so if you don't recommend one, I highly recommend this brand!)

3. Add the sugar and vanilla to the eggs and mix well.
4. Next, whisk in the cream and milk.
5. Pour the cream mixture into your ice-cream maker and blend for 20 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, roughly chop 10 of your Oreos and put the remaining five in a food processor to make Oreo crumbs.

8. After the ice-cream is done, put it immediately into the freezer for an additional 2 hours. 
9. After two hours have passed, you can finally reward yourself by assembling a nice, fat Snicker-cream Sanny!! Yay!
