Instructions
Prepare the Strawberry Cream Cheese Ice Cream
- Mash 2 cups of strawberries in a medium bowl until crushed. Set aside.
- Beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of milk, beating until well combined.

- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
Make the Waffles
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into a preheated waffle iron or silicone molds and bake according to the manufacturer's instructions (approximately 12-15 minutes for oven baking).
- Let the waffles cool completely on a wire rack.
Assemble the Ice Cream Sandwiches
- Scoop the frozen strawberry cream cheese ice cream onto half of the waffles, spreading evenly.
- Top with the remaining waffles to create sandwiches.
- Gently press the edges to seal and push the ice cream towards the edges.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Cut each sandwich into desired shapes just before serving.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cardamom or cinnamon to the waffle batter.
- If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely and drain excess liquid before mashing.
- For a richer ice cream, use heavy cream instead of whipping cream.
- Get creative with toppings! Drizzle melted chocolate, sprinkle with nuts, or add fresh berries after cutting the sandwiches.
