Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwiches – You Know You Want One!

It’s summer in Texas, which means it is H-O-T.  When it comes to dessert, I often want something cold.  And what could be better than a doughnut ice cream sandwich?

Inspired by this Good Housekeeping recipe, I made a variation of the Hazelnut Mocha ‘Wich (largest photo).

Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwiches – Ingredients

I know the end product will be good if I would love eating each ingredient individually!

  • Glazed chocolate doughnuts
  • Ice cream
  • Nutella

The recipe calls for coffee ice cream, but since I knew some people who would be eating this dessert don’t like coffee, I opted for the Bride’s Cake flavor from a popular southern ice cream maker.  Any vanilla or vanilla-based flavor would also be great.

As I found out, not all doughnut shops make a glazed chocolate doughnut.  Call around before you go to buy them.  And make sure they know you’re asking for a chocolate doughnut with glaze on it (not a regular doughnut glazed with chocolate).  The doughnut (donut??) lingo can be confusing!  For those who live in Houston, Shipley Do-Nuts is where to go!

Assemble the Sandwiches

  1. Using a sharp knife, cut each doughnut in half.
  2. Spread a generous layer of Nutella on one cut side.
  3. Add a scoop or two of ice cream.
  4. Place top half of doughnut on top.
  5. Serve immediately!

No baking required, and this cold and indulgent dessert hits the spot!

Seriously… doesn’t this make your mouth water?  You will not be sorry you tried this no-cook / no-bake recipe!

These doughnut ice cream sandwiches would be a great dessert to cool off with on the 4th of July!  It might just make you the hit of the party too!
