I was told by my wife that these were top 10 best things she’s ever eaten.
I’m not ready to deem them the best, but holy smokes are these Homemade Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches good and so easy to make. I always think making churros is hard and every time I make them I am blown away at how easy they are to make.
My absolute favorite thing to do in the morning is to eat churros and drink coffee. Talk about the ultimate in therapeutic restoration!! The delicious flavors of cinnamon and sugar combined with a crispy outside and soft warm inside makes churros one of the best. Now take all the goodness that is churros and smash ice cream in between them to make Homemade Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches.
The ice cream part is completely up to you, but I highly recommend doing some with either chocolate or peanut butter in it because it enhances the overall flavor experience that much more when combining with the churro.
If you’ve got some guests coming by in the near future and you want to show off and make something ridiculous, then these Homemade Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches are where it’s at!
