It’s Strawberry Season!

Make Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwiches

When I was growing up, my mother would make strawberry shortcake for dessert in the summer. We made strawberry shortcake a bit differently than everyone else because we always made it with shortbread instead of pound cake or angel food cake.

I love how the shortbread cookie crust serves as the base for this dessert. I love shortbread whether it is a cookie, a tart crust, a pie crust or just plain shortbread. Now I know why I never learned to love pound cake or angel food cake!

It really is strawberry season! Technically the sweet spot (pun intended) for strawberry season is April through July with June being the peak. Strawberries like warm days and cool nights, so they thrive in California, where I live!

Strawberry Season?

Strawberries grow in Southern California all the way up through the Central Coast of California. In the growing areas of California, fresh-picked strawberries are sold on the side of the road. They are amazing!

I love having sweet, fresh strawberries in the house and I am even growing them in my garden! I love to use strawberries in multiple ways and I use strawberries in desserts like a strawberry crumble or strawberry tart. Often I use them in salads with spinach, grilled chicken, and strawberries. I love to make strawberry muffins and I love summer drinks like strawberry mojitos or my favorite, strawberry lemonade with vodka. The options are endless!

Delicious Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwiches

One of my favorite desserts (back when I ate dessert) was my mother’s strawberry shortcake. My boys all love ice cream, so I combined them to make strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwiches. Who doesn’t love an ice cream sandwich? These strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwiches are equal parts sweet, melty, and bursting with flavor from summer fruit! In my opinion, strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwiches are a perfect summer treat on warm summer evenings.

Whenever I make these strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwiches, they bring a smile to my face. They bring back so many sweet memories of growing up. They are a perfect combination of my mother and me. My mom’s cookie recipe and my ice cream recipe together in one dessert. She taught me so much and I loved to cook with her in the kitchen.

Ice cream sandwiches take me back to summers when I was a child. My four siblings and I would try to eat our ice cream sandwiches before they would melt while savoring every bite of the sweetness. Of course it was a race and the winner was the last to finish. My brothers always tried to hide their last bite so that they could win the race!

No matter your age, the cold from the ice cream against the heat of the evening is a perfect combination. It feels a little bit decadent to eat an ice cream sandwich with your hands, licking your fingers from the lingering sticky ice cream.

Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwiches

For this recipe, I started with shortbread cookie rounds using my mom’s shortbread recipe. I used a cute cookie cutter with scalloped edges to make the cookies.

I love to make a strawberry sauce. When strawberries are at their peak, I slice the strawberries in half and cook them together with a little sugar. This makes a heavenly sweet sauce that is all about the strawberries. This can be used in so many ways. My husband loves this sauce on pancakes in the morning.

I don’t know about you, but strawberry ice cream can be too strawberry-y. Is that a word? Vanilla ice cream can be a bit boring. So, I make my own vanilla ice cream with a strawberry swirl. It’s the perfect combination of vanilla and strawberry. I think perhaps it is my own goldilocks version of the perfect ice cream.

Although I often make homemade ice cream, this time I used store-bought vanilla ice cream to create my vanilla with strawberry swirl ice cream. This is such a great way to take a store-bought item and upcycle it by adding a homemade strawberry sauce.

To assemble the ice cream sandwiches:

Recipe for Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwiches — One

Tasty Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwiches — One

one
- take the vanilla strawberry swirl ice cream out of the freezer so it can soften, but not melt.
- lay out two of the shortbread cookies on your work surface
two
- scoop from the bottom of the ice cream pan so that you get all three layers of flavors.
- carefully (so that you don’t break the cookie) spread the ice cream across the shortbread cookie round to the edges of the cookie (I have found it is easier to spread the ice cream on the cookie while it is on a flat surface)
- place the second shortbread cookie on top
three
- once the sandwich is assembled, pick it up and using a spatula, even out the ice cream at the edges so that the sandwich is full of ice cream
- if you like sprinkles, roll the ice cream edge of the ice cream sandwich in sprinkles
- place the ice cream sandwich in a plastic container and back in the freezer until you are ready to serve
