Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches with Brown Sugar Jelly Milk Dessert

A delightful pairing of soft chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches and a chilled Asian-inspired dessert bowl filled with chewy rice balls, sweet red beans, and silky brown sugar jelly cubes in creamy milk—perfect for a refreshing treat or cozy afternoon indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches:
  • 8 soft-baked chocolate chip cookies
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
  • For the Brown Sugar Jelly Milk Bowl:
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar jelly cubes (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup canned sweetened red beans
  • 1/2 cup glutinous rice balls (tang yuan), cooked
  • 1 cup cold milk or sweetened soy milk
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Optional Garnish:
  • Drizzle of condensed milk or brown sugar syrup

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches: Scoop a generous amount of softened vanilla ice cream onto the bottom of one cookie. Top with another cookie and gently press to form a sandwich. Smooth the edges and freeze for at least 1 hour or until firm.
  2. Prepare the Brown Sugar Jelly Bowl: If making jelly at home, cube it once set. Cook glutinous rice balls according to package instructions until they float, then drain and rinse in cold water.
  3. In a bowl, arrange the jelly cubes, sweetened red beans, and cooked rice balls.
  4. Pour in cold milk or sweetened soy milk. Add ice cubes if desired for an extra-chilled effect.
  5. Top with a drizzle of condensed milk or brown sugar syrup as garnish.
  6. Serve both the cookie sandwiches and the dessert bowl on a wooden tray for a cohesive presentation.

Notes

  • Freeze assembled cookie sandwiches on a parchment-lined tray to avoid sticking.
  • You can use flavored ice cream like matcha or chocolate for variation.
  • Brown sugar jelly can be made using agar-agar and brown sugar syrup.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free cookies, ice cream, and soy milk.
