Ice Cream Graham-wiches

A few weeks ago, while browsing Pinterest, I found a recipe for Ice Cream Graham-wiches.  Supposedly, they are the lower-fat version of ice cream sandwiches.  We love ice cream, and both of my boys- the grown up one and the little one- love sprinkles, so I decided to give it a try.

I wanted to pass along the recipe because we loved them!

Ice Cream Graham-wiches

Ingredients

• Approximately 30 graham crackers, broken in half
• Large box sugar free chocolate pudding
• 8 ounces sugar free or lite whipped topping
• Milk
• Sprinkles and nuts, optional

Instructions

1. Prepare pudding with milk, according to package directions. Whip in whipped topping and blend until smooth.
2. Place a large dollop on a graham cracker and top with another. Dip each side into sprinkles or nuts if desired.
3. Place in individual zipper seal sandwich bags and freeze until firm

Some additional notes:

I read that they should take approximately an hour to firm, and we were able to eat them after an hour without making a huge mess, but they were really best after two hours in the freezer.  

The pudding/cool whip mixture made a huge bowl, and I got tired of making sandwiches after about, oh, the millionth one.  So I ended up eating a huge bowl of banana pudding/cool whip mixture the next day.  :)

These will stay good in the fridge for up to a week.  I would put them in a ziploc bag once they're completely frozen.

And... just in case you were ready to call me a dessert genius, last night I took dinner to some friends who had a baby, and brought lemon bars.  You know, the boxed kind?  I made some for us, too.  Ours never set up (and I made them in the morning), so I'm sure theirs didn't, either.  We ate lemon goo.  How did I screw that up?!  

Happy Ice Cream Graham-wich eating!
