An Appetite for Easy: Sweet Ice Cream Sliders

Could there be anything easier than making tiny ice cream sandwiches for dessert?

EASY & DELISH | Most of us have snacked on hamburger sliders before, those meat filled mini burgers on tiny buns that are gone in two bites flat, but have you ever had an ice cream slider? I have. At a dinner party recently, our hostess brought out bowls filled with different flavours of ice cream and a sampler of cookies and invited us to build our own ice cream sliders for dessert. What a great idea!

The secret to making a great ice cream slider is in the cookie. The best slider cookies are no more then three-inches inches across, and preferably a little less so you can gobble them up in two bites. And they need to be a little bit chewy, too, so they won’t completely disintegrate under pressure from your teeth.

You don’t need to make ice cream sliders a DIY project for your guests, of course. You could make them yourself before dinner and pop them in the freezer until it’s time for dessert. —Ruth Rainey
