Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 Square Waffles

  cut into 8 rectangles
• Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
• 1/2 c Water
• 1/2 c White Sugar
• 1/3 c Unsweetened Dark Cocoa Powder
• 1 t Real Vanilla Extract
• 1/8 t Salt
• Sprinkles
• Chopped Nuts

Instructions

• 1 Pre-heat oven to 350ºF and arrange the waffles on a large, rimmed baking sheet.
  Remove ice cream from freezer to begin to soften slightly.
• 2 Place baking sheet in pre-heated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping the
  waffles halfway through.
• 3 Once the waffles are golden brown, remove baking sheet from the oven and set
  aside to cool for several minutes.
• 4 Prepare the chocolate syrup by combining the water, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla
  extract, and salt in a small skillet set over medium heat. Whisk vigorously
  until the sugar is dissolved and the cocoa powder is thoroughly incorporated
  into the mixture, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool
  completely.
• 5 Add a scoop of ice cream to four of the waffles and spread into an even layer.
  Top each with one of the remaining toasted waffles to create a “sandwich.”
• 6 Place the ice cream sandwiches back on the baking tray and place in the freeze
  for 30 minutes to firm up. Remove baking sheet from freezer and top with the
  chocolate sauce, plus sprinkles and/or chopped nuts, if desired, before serving.
  Enjoy!
