Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream Sandwich Mini's

Every Monday night we have a family night. I try to plan fun activities and lessons that will foster feelings of love and connection in our home. But, let's be honest - the kids think it's really all about the dessert.

Although the kids think of Monday as "Dessert Night" now, I am hoping that later in life they will remember the "Family" part of it with equal fondness. In the meantime, I'm doing my best to come up with some delicious desserts.

These Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream Sandwiches are mighty tasty! They were a big family night hit and the kids loved that they are mini - so did I. These take just minutes to prepare and they make a really fun treat for all ages.

Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream Sandwich Mini's

Ingredients

1 package Eggo Cinnamon Toast Waffles

1 carton Breyer's All Natural Vanilla Ice Cream

7 oz dark chocolate

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Put the dark chocolate in a metal (or other heatproof) bowl, and set it over a saucepan of barely simmering water. (Do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water.) Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

While chocolate is melting, assemble ice cream sandwiches. Break each piece of frozen cinnamon toast waffle into 4 mini waffles. Add one heaping tablespoon scoop of ice cream to a toast and top with another piece of toast. Press together and smooth sides with spoon. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep in freezer.

When chocolate is melted, quickly stir in ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Dip each assembled cinnamon toast sandwich into the chocolate. Return to parchment lined pan and keep in freezer until hardened, about 20 minutes. Keep frozen until ready to eat.
