Ritz Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ritz Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 40 Ritz crackers
- 3 tablespoons creamy no‑stir peanut butter
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup semi‑sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or coconut oil, optional
Instructions
- 1
Line a rimmed baking sheet that can fit in your freezer with parchment paper. Set 20 crackers on the tray. Using a small offset spatula or butter knife, spread about 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter into an even layer on each cracker. Set in the freezer for 15 minutes, or until firm.
15 min - 2
Remove the crackers from the freezer and make sure the remaining 20 crackers are within reach. Using a 1 tablespoon‑sized spring‑loaded cookie scoop (or a spoon), add about 1 heaping tablespoon of ice cream to each cracker. Gently place the remaining cracker on top, applying slight pressure to flatten the ice cream. Return the assembled sandwiches back to the freezer and let chill for about 1 hour, or until the ice cream is solid.
60 min - 3
When the sandwiches are frozen solid, add chocolate chips and oil (if using) to a medium microwave‑safe bowl. Microwave in 30‑second increments, stirring after each. When the chocolate is fully melted, stir vigorously until smooth.

Working with one sandwich at a time, dip it halfway in the chocolate and allow excess to drip off. Place back onto the sheet pan and repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Alternatively, drizzle the sandwiches with the melted chocolate right on the baking sheet. Freeze the entire tray for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
15 min - 5
Serve the sandwiches frozen. Store extras in a zip‑top freezer bag for up to 1 month.
