Description

Crisp golden waffles layered with sweet berry jam and creamy vanilla ice cream, cut into squares for a nostalgic, handheld frozen treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 freshly made or store-bought waffles
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
  • 1/2 cup berry jam (blueberry, raspberry, or mixed berry)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare waffles and let them cool completely on a wire rack to prevent melting the ice cream.
  2. Line a square or rectangular baking dish with parchment paper. Place 4 waffles in the bottom of the dish, trimming if needed to form a tight layer.
  3. Spread berry jam evenly across the top of the waffles.
  4. Spoon and spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the jam layer, smoothing it out to the edges.
  5. Top with the remaining 4 waffles, pressing gently.
  6. Cover and freeze for at least 2–3 hours, or until firm.
  7. Remove from freezer, trim edges if desired, and cut into sandwich squares.
  8. Serve immediately or wrap individually and freeze for later.

Notes

  • Ensure waffles are completely cool before assembling to avoid melting the ice cream.
  • For a neater finish, use a sharp knife to trim the edges after freezing.
  • Try different jam flavors for variety – strawberry, blackberry, or cherry work well too.
  • Dust with powdered sugar for an extra sweet touch before serving.
