How long do homemade waffle ice cream sandwiches last?

Homemade waffle ice cream sandwiches will last one month when stored properly. Wrap individual waffle sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap then add them to a freezer bag or airtight container.

Can I use store-bought waffles to make ice cream sandwiches?

Yes! Although I'm a big fan of making your own homemade waffles you can use store-bought waffles in a pinch.

Why are my waffles soggy?

If your waffles are soggy make sure they are fully cooked until crisp and golden brown before removing them from the waffle iron. If they get soggy after cooking, make sure you don't stack them on top of each other. After removing the waffles from the iron allow them to cool on a wire rack. Placing them on a flat surface or stacking them before they have cooled can trap steam, leading to a buildup of moisture and resulting in soggy waffles.

Instructions

Preheat waffle iron.
In a large bowl mix dry ingredients; flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl whisk eggs until fluffy. Add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Mix to combine.
Add wet ingredients to dry. Gently mix your batter just until combined. Let the batter rest for 5-8 minutes.
Pour mixture into each section of your waffle iron. Cook until golden brown (if needed spray waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray).
Set waffles aside to cool.
Take a large tub of ice cream and dump the entire contents out in one solid piece. Slice into 1-inch thick rounds. Using your waffle as a stencil cut ice cream into desired shapes to fit your waffles. I did triangles. Sandwich the ice cream between 2 waffles.
Press the sides of your waffle sandwich (where the ice cream is showing) into your desired topping, such as nuts, chocolate chips or fruit.
Eat right away, or wrap and freeze for later.

Notes

If you freeze your sandwiches for later, make sure you take them out and let them soften for approx. 10 mins before eating (they will be frozen solid and difficult to eat).
