Ice cream sandwiches are a delicious cold dessert that consists of a portion of creamy and smooth ice cream, usually between two cookies, cake bars, or wafers. This food combines the crunchy or tender texture of the base with the freshness and creaminess of the ice cream, creating a sweet and refreshing experience, ideal for enjoying in warm climates or as a treat at any time.
The origin of ice cream sandwiches dates back to the United States in the early 20th century, where they began to gain popularity as a practical and portable way to enjoy ice cream. Since then, they have been adapted in various cultures, incorporating different varieties of cookies, ice cream flavors, and sizes, becoming a classic in many parts of the world.
Regarding their properties, although it is primarily an indulgent dessert, ice cream sandwiches provide quick energy from the sugars and fats present in the ice cream and cookies. Depending on the type of ingredients used, they may contain dairy, gluten, and added sugars, so it is advisable to moderate their consumption or look for healthier versions.
In the Hispanic world, there are several synonyms or related names that may vary by region, such as "sándwich helado", "bocadillo de helado", "galleta helada", or simply "helado entre galletas". However, the term ice cream sandwich is widely understood and used in recipes and culinary contexts.
