August 2nd
National Ice Cream Sandwich Day

An ice cream sandwich is a frozen dessert made by placing a scoop of ice cream between two cookies, wafers, or other types of sweet biscuits. The cookies or wafers used for the sandwich can be of various flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, oatmeal, or peanut butter, among others. The ice cream used for an ice cream sandwich can also be of various flavors, including classic vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry, or more exotic flavors like mint chocolate chip, caramel swirl, or rocky road. The sandwich is then usually frozen until the ice cream is firm and the cookies have hardened slightly. Ice cream sandwiches are a popular treat, especially in the summertime, when temperatures rise and people look for a cool and refreshing dessert. They can be purchased pre-made at grocery stores and ice cream shops, or they can be homemade using your preferred cookie and ice cream flavors.
