If you don't already spend your summer trying to indulge in as many ice cream sandwiches as possible, it's time to start. They're so much more satisfying than a cone or, worse, a bowl (lame!)—especially when sandwiched in a donut.
This is a next-level ice cream sandwich: The pillowy, fried donut halves are the perfect complement to a creamy scoop. Any flavor of donut and ice cream works, as does any sweet condiment or sauce you prefer; we played with strawberry preserves (above), dulce de leche (caramel works, too), and Nutella to come up with these four stellar combos.
Dulce de leche and coconut were meant to be together.
Hazelnut-mocha happiness. The coffee ice cream cuts some of the sweetness.
Strawberry shortcake-inspired—the jam gives the whole thing an extra kick of strawberry.
It's like a birthday party in every bite (albeit the coldest, most awesome birthday party ever.)
