Canada Day Ice Cream Sandwiches
These Canada Day Ice Cream Sandwiches are a simple and fun dessert idea for your holiday celebrations! Just 2 ingredients: ice cream sandwiches and sprinkles.
Celebrating our nation’s birthday is a fun way to officially kick off into summer! Whether it be a small gathering amongst friends and family, or an all out summer bash, keeping the menu simple is key. If you’re looking for a simple and delicious dessert idea to feed a crowd, big or small, these Canada Day Ice Cream Sandwiches are a great idea!
Since I started blogging almost 10 years ago (OMG), I have wanted to make ice cream sandwiches with sprinkles. They’re just so pretty. I have made ice cream sandwiches with smarties, but have never gotten around to making them with sprinkles. This is the year. And what better time than for a Canada Day party?!
It all started with these adorable maple leaf sprinkles that I found at Bulk Barn. Seriously, how cute. I went in search of regular red and white sprinkles, but when I came across these I had to have them.
These sprinkles take a regular ice cream sandwich to the next level. And so easily too. You can make a batch of 12 of these in about 10 minutes…it’s really that easy.
Festive and fun. Everyone will love them!
Make Ahead Recipe Tip!
The great thing about a dessert like this is that you can make it well ahead of time. Just assemble and freeze until you’re ready to serve. Make them a few days ahead of time, and it’s one last thing you have to do when getting ready for your celebrations. I like to freeze them in an air tight container with parchment paper lining between the sandwiches, that way they don’t stick together.
Such a simple idea that has big impact. Happy Canada Day!
