Pound Cake Ice Cream Sandwiches

Pound cake Ice cream sandwiches are the perfect summer treat! Sliced homemade southern pound cake, your favorite ice cream, and that’s it! It’s so simple and so delicious.

The Perfect Summer Treat

Pound Cake Ice Cream Sandwiches combine two of my favorite things! First, my grandmother’s pound cake. She made it all the time, and I think of her every time we make it. I still have her bundt pan that she used. She always served it when we had company. When Anne and I would come home from college, she would have it sitting on the table. Some of my all-time favorite foods are dishes served to me when I was a kid, which is definitely one of them. 

HOW TO MAKE

In the summer, we make the pound cake, and after a day of enjoying it, we slice up what is left over, add some softened homemade ice cream, make a sandwich, and then pop it back in the freezer for a bit. It is the PERFECT summer treat and fabulous to serve to company and it’s THAT easy!

I mean, who doesn’t love a homemade ice cream sandwich? What’s wonderful is that you can make these up ahead of time, put them in the freezer in an airtight container, and then set them out about 15 minutes before serving. 

Homemade Ice Cream

You can easily serve these with homemade or store-bought ice cream. Here are two of our favorite no-churn ice cream recipes!

This blackberry ice cream is wonderful! Have wild blackberries? Even better!

We also love this homemade pralines and cream ice cream. Growing up, it was our favorite from Baskin-Robbins (Anne and I both worked there as teenagers!), and this homemade version is DELICIOUS!

Here’s a cute little tip if you’re hosting and want to serve ice cream for your dessert. Mismatched tea cups make great serving vessels for ice cream. Even plain vanilla ice cream from the grocery store looks fancy in a tea cup. Drizzle a little caramel or hot fudge over it, and your guests will swoon!

Remember, making memories with food can be a huge highlight in our lives. As I said, enjoying a homemade meal or a simple treat with my family has brought me so much joy. So eat the cake, serve the ice cream, and enjoy every minute!
