Kemps Ice Cream Sandwiches
What it is
These are frozen dessert bars made with vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate wafers. The wafers are typically soft and slightly chewy, providing a contrast to the cold, creamy ice cream. They are a popular treat for cooling down on warm days or as a simple dessert after a meal. Each sandwich is individually wrapped for convenience and to maintain its frozen state.
How people cook with it
Ice cream sandwiches are a versatile frozen treat. They are perfect for quick snacks or as a component in more elaborate desserts.
- Enjoy as a standalone dessert
- Serve at parties and gatherings
- Incorporate into milkshakes
- A quick after-school snack
To enjoy, simply unwrap one ice cream sandwich and eat it directly from the packaging. For a softer texture, allow the sandwich to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before consuming. They can also be used as a base for creative desserts. For instance, you can blend them with milk and other ingredients to create a thick, indulgent milkshake. When serving to a group, they are easy to distribute and require no additional preparation, making them a convenient choice for any occasion.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to ice cream bars with a chocolate coating, these sandwiches feature a wafer exterior. The wafer provides a different textural experience, being more bread-like and less brittle than a frozen chocolate shell. The flavor profile is also distinct, with the mild sweetness of the wafer complementing the vanilla ice cream.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining ice cream sandwiches frozen and fresh, store them in the original packaging in your freezer. Ensure the freezer is set to a consistent, cold temperature. Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing, as this can affect the texture of the ice cream. Keep the package sealed to prevent freezer burn.
