Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • Zest of 1 small orange
  • 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of salt
  • 10 graham cracker squares
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Prepare an 8x8 inch* baking pan by lining with foil. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form.
  • In a medium bowl or large measuring cup with a spout, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, orange juice, zest, vanilla extract and salt until fully combined.
  • Slowly drizzle the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream with the mixer on medium-low speed until it is fully incorporated -- the mixture should remain thick and somewhat fluffy.
  • Carefully pour the mixture into the lined baking pan and smooth the top as evenly as possible. Place in the freezer and freeze for about 4 hours or until solid.
  • When the ice cream is set, remove from the freezer and carefully cut into squares or rectangles, using graham crackers as a guide.
  • Place mini chocolate chips on a small plate and, before serving, press gently to adhere the chips to the sides of each ice cream sandwich before serving. {Note: They hold better if you return the sandwiches to the freezer for 5-10 minutes, but I know it may be difficult to wait that long!} Dig in and enjoy!

Notes

As I mentioned, using an 8x8 inch square baking pan will yield a thick block of ice cream. If you'd like your sandwiches to be thinner, spread the mixture into a larger pan before freezing. That will also change your yield.
This recipe made 5 thick, square ice cream sandwiches using 5 whole graham crackers {or 10 graham cracker squares, if that makes sense.}
