Ultra creamy homemade ice cream is swirled with naturally sweet fresh strawberries then stuffed between two chocolate graham crackers.
It’s the ultimate strawberries and cream ice cream sandwich!
Homemade ice cream sandwiches are a tasty treat that you are going to enjoy all summer long. Ice cream is easy to make at home and these strawberries and cream ice cream sandwiches are no exception! This ice cream starts with my favorite vanilla base. Egg Beaters, whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar are combined with lots of fresh berries. My “sandwiches” are actually chocolate graham crackers. I love making homemade ice cream sandwiches with graham crackers because they soften over time and become almost cake-like. Each bite melts in your mouth.
Graham Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches
Making this strawberry ice cream recipe is a labor of love because it requires a bit of patience to come together. The steps are simple and easy to follow along with but the patience needed to wait while the ice cream churns and freezes is what makes it almost unbearable. Thankfully each batch makes several chocolate graham cracker ice cream sandwiches so you have plenty to enjoy between batches. From the soft chocolate cookie to the strawberries and cream ice cream inside, every bite is a wonderful combination of flavors and textures that just scream summertime.

- Combine the egg beaters, sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla in a blender until well mixed. Place into the fridge for at least one hour or up to 24 hours. I blend all my ice cream ingredients (minus the strawberries) in a blender and allow it to sit in the refrigerator for several hours. I find that the longer the base sits in the refrigerator, the creamier your ice cream will be
- Pour your chilled egg mixture into the base of an ice cream maker and process it according to the owner’s manual instructions. Add in the chopped strawberries during the final few minutes of churning.
- Meanwhile, line an 8×8 baking dish with two sheets of plastic wrap arranged like a cross. Be sure to leave enough plastic overhang that the ice cream can be easily removed later.
- Line 9 graham cracker halves into the pan and then pour the ice cream over the top.
- Top with the remaining 9 graham crackers.
- Loosely cover with plastic wrap and place into the freezer until set.
- Carefully remove the ice cream sandwiches from the pan using the plastic wrap as a handle. With a knife, section out each ice cream sandwich.
