We all know Valentine's Day is a Hallmark holiday. But it's also a great excuse to indulge in a sweet treat, so why not celebrate? If you get in the Valentine's mood at the eleventh hour, here's a last-minute dessert idea that is just special enough to impress your sweetheart.
Ice Cream Sandwiches
First, bake up some sugar cookies (there's a great recipe here). Cut the dough using a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Or, if you're short on time, buy medium to large-sized round cookies, such as peanut butter or chocolate chip. Pair the cookie with an appropriate ice cream, or go wild and come up with a crazy combination (peanut butter and Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey?). Scoop a large round of ice cream in the middle of a cookie then place a second cookie on top to make a sandwich. Wrap each ice cream sandwich with parchment paper and store in the freezer until you're ready for dessert.
Happy Valentine's Day!
