By using these mixes, you're not just making ice cream sandwiches – you're creating moments of joy and connection with your four-legged companion. With every bite, your dog will taste the love and care you've poured into their treat, making each lick a reminder of the special bond you share.
Instructions
Prepare the Ice Cream: Begin by mixing the birthday ice cream according to the package directions. Combine the powdered ingredients with water, whisking diligently to ensure a smooth, lump-free consistency. Once thoroughly mixed, pour the ice cream mixture onto a prepared parchment-lined sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly, ensuring uniform coverage. Place the pan in the freezer and let it set for approximately 4 hours.
Make the Shortbread Cookies: While the ice cream freezes, prepare the shortbread cookie mix according to the package directions. Roll out the dough on a parchment-lined silicone mat, ensuring even thickness using pastry rulers. With a dog bone cutter, create adorable bone-shaped cookies from the rolled-out dough. Carefully transfer the cut-out cookies to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Once both the ice cream and cookies are ready, it's time to assemble the sandwiches! Use the bone cutter to cut out portions of the frozen ice cream, matching the size of the cookies. Place a frozen bone-shaped ice cream portion onto the flat side of one shortbread cookie, then gently press another cookie on top to create a sandwich. For an extra touch of fun, immediately dip the edges of the sandwich into sprinkles to coat. Finally, place the assembled sandwiches in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to allow them to set before serving.
With these simple steps, you'll create irresistible Doggie Ice Cream Sandwiches that are sure to delight your furry friends and make tails wag with joy. So gather your ingredients and get ready to treat your pups to a homemade delight they'll adore!
