Crispy on the edges and soft in the center, these frozen treats make an irresistible summer dessert that’s easy to prepare and sure to impress.


Ingredients

Blondie Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Ice Cream Filling

  • 1 pint vanilla or pistachio ice cream, slightly softened


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and packed brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Egg and Flavorings: Incorporate the egg, vanilla extract, and salt into the mixture, stirring until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in the all-purpose flour just until combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Add Pistachios and Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chopped pistachios and optional white chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Bake the Blondies: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan. Using the parchment overhang, lift them out and cut the blondies in half horizontally to create two thin layers.
  8. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the softened ice cream evenly over one layer, then place the second blondie layer on top, pressing gently to form sandwiches.
  9. Freeze to Set: Freeze the assembled sandwiches for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut cleanly.
  10. Slice and Serve: Once frozen, cut the sandwiches into squares or rectangles and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use a serrated knife for cleaner, neater cuts after freezing.
  • For a nut-free version, omit pistachios and substitute with mini chocolate chips.
  • Customize by swapping in any favorite ice cream flavor for the filling.
