4th Of July Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14oz)
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups cold heavy cream (16.4oz)
• Blue and red food coloring
• 45 Oreos
• Sprinkles
• 6 oz blue melting chocolate (optional)

Directions

For the Ice Cream

1. In a medium bowl, mix condensed milk and vanilla extract. Set aside.
2. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
3. Fold whipped cream into condensed milk mixture.
4. Line a loaf pan (about 9"x5")with parchment.
5. Pour 1/3 of the ice cream mixture into loaf pan and add a few drops of food coloring. Use a knife to swirl the color around. (Be careful not to over swirl!)
6. Repeat two more times ending with the colors on top.
7. Place loaf pan into the freezer overnight, or until firm.

For The Oreo Sandwiches

1. Using a knife or fork, divide the Oreo in half so the cream is on one side.
2. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of ice cream into the center of the Oreo.
3. Sandwich the Oreo and place back in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until firm.
4. In a small deep microwave safe bowl (deep enough to dunk half the Oreo in), melt blue chocolate in 30 second increments.
5. Place Patriotic sprinkles in a small shallow bowl.
6. Only taking 1 Oreo out of the freezer at a time, use a knife to smooth the sides of the ice cream.
7. Either dip the rim of the ice cream into the sprinkles or dip half the Oreo into the chocolate and place it on parchment paper and add sprinkles.
8. Place Oreo back into the freezer.
9. Let Oreos sit another 30 minutes, or until firm, before serving.

*Makes about 45 Oreos
