Tips For the Best Frozen Dessert
- For the filling, scoop it into a ziplock bag or a piping bag. For the ziplock bag, cut off the tip and squeeze the filling from that end. While piping, start from the outside and work towards the middle working in a circular pattern. Try to keep it even.
- Remember to prepare all the rolling ingredients before beginning the cookies. Place them on a shallow plate or bowl.
- Finally, after the cookies have been frozen, wrap them individually in plastic wrap.

Easy Cheesecake Ice Cream Sandwiches recipe
Ingredients
- 24 large cookies any flavor
- 24.3 ounces Philadelphia Ready To Eat Cheesecake Filling
- Sprinkles cookie crumbs, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips, as desired
Instructions
- Stir your cheesecake filling and scoop it into a large ziplock freezer or storage baggie, seal it shut. Snip about half an inch off of one corner of the bag.
- Pour your sprinkles, cookie crumbs, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips into a wide shallow bowl.
- On a large cookie sheet, lay out 12 cookies, bottom side up.
- Pipe the cheesecake filling onto the cookie in a spiral pattern, starting from the outside and working your way into the center. Don't mound it up, try to make it pretty even.
- When all the cookies have been topped with the cheesecake filling, place another cookie, bottom side down, on top of the filling, sandwiching it between the cookies.
- Working with one at a time, hold each cookie/cheesecake sandwich sideways, placing the outside edge of the cheesecake into the bowl of sprinkles/crumbs/nuts/chocolate chips. Roll it, pressing down gently, until the entire outside edge of the cheesecake has been covered. Place it back on the cookie sheet.
- Repeat until all cheesecake-filled cookie sandwiches have been rolled.
- Place them in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until ready to serve. If you're planning on keeping them in the freezer longer than one day, after freezing for at least 3 hours wrap each one individually with plastic wrap, then place them in a ziplock freezer bag. They'll keep in the freezer for about a month.
