    You're Going to Love These

    • Easy homemade graham cracker ice cream sandwiches with 5 simple ingredients
    • Fun and easy cold treats for hot summer days
    • Versatile, easy dessert recipe you can make with your favorite flavors
    • Mini yogurt ice cream sandwiches are the perfect way to enjoy a portion-controlled treat.

    Ingredients

    Graham Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches ingredients.

    See recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full list of ingredients and exact amounts. 

    Thawed whipped topping. Any variety of Cool Whip -- fat-free, extra creamy, etc., -- or Tru Whip, a little healthier option to Cool Whip, are great options. 

    Lemon yogurt. Either regular yogurt or Greek yogurt will work. 

    Frozen blueberries. I prefer frozen wild blueberries, but regular frozen blueberries are fine too. Fresh blueberries will work if that's what you have, but they don't have the same soft texture or vivid color. 

    Blueberry fruit spread, jam, or preserves. The blueberry fruit spread adds a pretty and delicious swirl throughout these frozen yogurt ice cream sandwiches. 

    Graham crackers. Use any flavor you love — honey, cinnamon, or chocolate graham crackers. Or use any kind of thin cookie you like. 

    Variations

    These yogurt and frozen fruit flavor combinations would also be delicious. Let me know if you try any of them! 

    • Key lime and raspberry
    • Peach and blueberry
    • Coconut and blackberry
    • Mango and mixed berries
    • Strawberry and raspberry
    • Black cherry and peach

    How to Make Cool Whip Graham Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches

    Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold the whipped topping and yogurt together.

    Step 2: Rinse frozen blueberries in a colander under cool water until the water runs clear. In a small bowl, stir the blueberry fruit spread and blueberries together.

    Step 3: Add the fruit mixture to the whipped topping mixture. Gently stir just enough to create swirls of the blueberry mixture. 

    graham cracker sheets in a 9 x 13 pan.

    Step 4: Line a 9 x 13 baking sheet or baking dish with plastic wrap. Leave enough of an overhang so you can wrap up the assembled sandwiches. Arrange 7 whole graham crackers in a single layer along the bottom of the pan.

    Step 5: Spread the ice cream mixture in an even layer over the graham crackers with an offset spatula, knife, or spatula.

    Step 6: Place the remaining graham crackers on top of the ice cream mixture.

    Step 7: Gently pull and wrap the plastic wrap over the top of the graham crackers to hold the whipped topping in the graham crackers as it freezes. Freeze 4 to 6 hours or until the ice cream is firm.

    Step 8: Place the entire slab on a cutting board. Cut between each graham cracker sheet for full-sized sandwiches or cut into graham cracker halves for mini ice cream sandwiches.

    If desired, roll the sides in toasted coconut, nuts, or white chocolate chips.

    Expert Tips

    • Assembling the sandwiches on side-by-side graham cracker sheets and cutting them after frozen is way faster and less messy than making individual ice cream sandwiches on graham cracker squares. 
    • You can use regular or Greek yogurt in these homemade ice cream sandwiches. 
    • Fresh or frozen blueberries both work well, but I prefer frozen -- they're softer and create a better swirl. Fresh blueberries have a firmer texture, but also taste great. 
    • Give frozen blueberries a quick rinse in a colander under cold water until the water runs clear.

    Recipe FAQs

    What is the best way to store lemon blueberry Cool Whip ice cream sandwiches? 

    Place in an airtight container, or wrap them individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper, and store in the freezer for a couple of weeks.  

    Does frozen Cool Whip taste like ice cream?

    Frozen Cool Whip is a lightly sweetened whipped topping with a creamy ice cream-like texture. Stir in some flavored yogurt to mimic your favorite ice cream flavor and spread it into delicious Cool Whip ice cream sandwiches or frozen ice cream pies.
