Homemade "Chipwich" Ice Cream Sandwiches

July 9, 2012 by Audra 30 Comments

As kids, I’m sure we all have fond memories of that glorious Ice Cream Truck song. As a wee one, I would run faster than anything to beg my Mom for a dollar to buy something from the truck when it happened to cruise my neighborhood. Within moments, there would be a line of 10+ kids gathered with their quarters and an excited smile in anticipation of a treat. No matter how long the line, when I made it to the front- I always got one of two treats- a Choco Taco or a Chipwich. When it was a Chipwich day, I remember exactly how I’d eat it.  First- I’d nibble the edges where the ice cream got all melty, and work my way towards the soft center.

I have been dreaming of a from scratch version of this treat for ages, and last week it finally happened.  I baked a batch of my favorite soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies and whipped up some vanilla ice cream. After freezing the cookies a bit to make assembly easier, I was almost on my way to having this nostalgic treat. Making these is so simple and really worth the extra effort. I also found that having a few stashed away in the freezer is the perfect things for last minute company. I mean who doesn’t love a chipwich?

Homemade "Chipwich" Ice Cream Sandwiches
 
Ingredients
  • 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies
  • 1 qt. vanilla ice cream (recipe below)
  • 1-2 cups mini chocolate chips
  • vanilla ice cream
  • 3 cups heavy cream, or 2 cups heavy cream and 1 cup whole milk
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Place cookies in the freezer to harden and chill them for at least 15-20 minutes.
  2. Before assembling cookie sandwiches, have the mini chocolate chips in a shallow dish ready to go, as things will melt quickly and you have to work fast.
  3. Allow ice cream to soften at room temperature for a few minutes while the cookies are in the freezer.
  4. Once cookies are cold and hardened, scoop ice cream onto one cookie, sandwich it with another, and quickly roll it the mini chocolate chips, making sure to push any loose chips in. Place each finished chipwich in the freezer before you start the next! Once they are all complete, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil and store in the freezer for up to two weeks!
For Ice Cream:
  1. Pour 1 cup of the cream into a medium saucepan and add the sugar and salt. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the saucepan and add the pod to the pot. Warm over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Remove from the heat and add the remaining 2 cups cream (or the remaining 1 cup cream and the milk) and the vanilla extract.
  3. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator. (Overnight!) When ready to churn, remove the vanilla bean, rinsing and reserving it for another use (I stuck mine in my sugar container,) and then freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

    Audra, I pretty much lived off of chipwiches when I was little. My mom wouldn’t buy them, but they were available at the snackbar at my pool. I must have gotten them everyday! how on earth I wasn’t a huge blimp is beyond me! I would love to recreate them sometime, so thank you for sharing this recipe!

    So much fun! I feel like these would have far less preservatives and chemicals and whatnot than store-bought–always a good thing!

    Wow … Americans eat some pretty weird food. So it no longer exists (I googled it – had never heard of it until I watched an old episode of The King of Queens).

    Great show to learn a bit about Americans.

    […] Italian-American Richard LaMotta, cousin of famous boxer Jake LaMotta, had developed a love for dipping cookies into milk at an early age. When he was in his late thirties, Richard had an idea to merge favorite snack into a tasty frozen treat. On May 1, 1982, he sent a fleet of street-cart vendors out into Manhattan to begin selling his creation: the Chipwich. The Chipwich, ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies, was an instant hit. By the end of the year, he was selling more than 40,000 Chipwiches a day, and his Chipwich plants were producing 1,400,000 frozen sandwiches a week. In 2002, Richard sold his company to Nestlé, who stopped making the product since the company had its own version of the snack.  Luckily, if you chipwish, you can make your own.
