It’s officially summer vacation and that brings to mind my favorite frozen treat: the ice cream sandwich. My specific recollection is of the type in the white paper with vanilla ice cream between two square chocolate cookies.
The Blue Bunny Ice Cream Sandwich Truck
Blue Bunny turned that image upside down with their custom ice cream sandwich truck, The Blue Bunny Ice Cream Sandwich Truck. It kicked off here in my hometown of Phoenix and we got to dive into their custom creations. The options are seemingly endless, picking from two flavors of ice cream, four cookies and nine toppings.
Blaise went the waffle route, adding vanilla ice cream, sprinkles and strawberry sauce.
Calvin went the chocolate direction with peanut butter cookie, vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips and chocolate sauce. Ryan’s a huge fan of chocolate and peanut butter together, so if you’re like him, this is the sandwich to order.
The Blue Bunny Ice Cream Sandwich Truck is currently popping up at events in Phoenix, Tampa and Orlando and they’ll be posting about other upcoming events at BlueBunnyTruck.com and on their Instagram and Twitter accounts.
Getting Creative at Home
We had so much fun at the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Sandwich Truck, but the ice cream sandwich adventures didn’t stop there. We came home and crafted some inspired sandwiches of our own. We used Blue Bunny Ice Cream, a company that has been serving up premium ice cream for over 100 years.
Our first sandwich was inspired from Blaise’s favorite breakfast cereal; rice crispies. We made homemade squares with rainbow marshmallows and then scooped on Blue Bunny’s Toffee Brownie Twist.
The second sandwich was based on the idea of birthday party funfetti cake, stuffed with ice cream! We prepared a box of funfetti cake, but poured it into two sheet pans instead of just one so that it would make two layers. Then, once the cake was baked and cooled, we scooped on Blue Bunny’s Monster Cookie Mash and then topped it with the other layer. From there, cut it into squares and you’ve got cake and ice cream in one.
Finally, inspired by the waffles at the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Sandwich Truck, we made our own based on my Sour Cream Waffles recipe (although, you can use whatever batter recipe you want) and then dipped them on the top in melted chocolate. From there, we filled them with Ryan’s new favorite, Rockin’ Rocky Road.
All three are easy to make and using Blue Bunny’s fun new flavors makes these custom creations extra special. Get the recipes below or get inspired to make your own custom ice cream sandwich concoction at home!
