Description
Mini Pistachio Ice Cream Sandwiches combine crisp chocolate wafers, creamy pistachio ice cream, rich dark chocolate, and crunchy pistachios in a delightful frozen dessert. Perfect for parties or a small indulgence, they’re elegant, customizable, and simple to make.
Ingredients
- 16 Nabisco chocolate wafers
- 1 container pistachio ice cream, slightly softened
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 8–9 oz dark chocolate (about 2 bars), chopped
- 4 tbsp coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Allow the pistachio ice cream to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Chop pistachios and place on a small plate.
- In a microwave-safe cup, melt the chopped dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Stir in coconut oil until completely smooth. If needed, microwave another 10 seconds to fully combine. Let cool to room temperature.
- Scoop pistachio ice cream onto one chocolate wafer, top with another wafer, and press gently. Repeat to make 8 sandwiches. Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Remove sandwiches from freezer. Dip half of each in the cooled chocolate, let excess drip off, then press into chopped pistachios. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired. Return to baking sheet.
- Freeze dipped sandwiches for 20 minutes until chocolate sets.
- Serve once firm or store in freezer for later.
Notes
- Use any crisp cookie if chocolate wafers aren’t available.
- Customize with different ice cream flavors or coatings.
- Dip twice and freeze in between for a thicker chocolate shell.
- Work quickly to avoid melting—keep a cold baking sheet ready.
- No reheating required—enjoy directly from freezer after a few minutes at room temp.
