These Pink Lemonade Miniature Ice Cream Sandwiches are the perfect dessert for summer and beyond. They're miniatures bites of happiness!
I'm in love with these pink lemonade miniature ice cream sandwiches. They are so easy to make and are incredibly delicious!
Seriously man, necessity is the mother of invention. These teeny tiny little ice cream sandwiches were not the plan.
I did not plan to make ice cream sandwiches the size of a quarter. It just sort of happened. However, I love mini dessert recipes, so I rolled with it.
Earlier in the week I made a big batch of pink lemonade cheesecake filling for my pink lemonade no bake cheesecake parfaits. Honestly, I didn't want to make a gazillion parfaits so I decided the filling would make amazing an ice cream sandwich filling.
I'm not going to lie to you, they are tedious to make. The nilla wafers are about the size of a thumbnail so it's tricky not touching the filling as you slide them together. It's totally worth the effort though.
They turned out to be super cute little ice cream sandwiches. At one point I may have pretended to be a giant eating my dessert. Active imagination, what can I say.
I hope you get a chance to make these. I loved them since I'm a huge pink lemonade fan.
If you don't care for citrus these will not "be your thang". Use raspberry or strawberry filling instead. You'll get less pucker. I, however, love a good pucker.

Pink Lemonade Miniature Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 package nilla wafers
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese brick softened, and whipped smooth
- 1 individual size packet crystal light pink lemonade mix, or other brand
Optional:

Instructions
- Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Clear a spot in your freezer for the cookie sheet for freezing these.
- In a stand mixer combine the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and granulated sugar. Start mixer on low with the whisk attachment. Once it starts to thicken slightly you can increase speed until it's on high. Whisk on high till the mixture is fluffy.
- In a separate bowl whip the softened cream cheese with a mixer until it's smooth and there are no chunky pieces, add the lemonade mix slowly and mix until combined.
- Add the cream cheese mixture to the whipped cream mixture and whisk on medium speed until it's smooth and combined.
- Transfer to a piping bag.
- Pipe a good sized dollop on the flat side of the first cookie. Top with another cookie.
- Set on lined cookie sheet and repeat till finished.
- Stick the pan inside the freezer for 1 to 2 hours.
- You can eat them right away, or store them in ziploc bags or air tight containers in the freezer.
- Serve with a big old I scream for Ice Cream smile!

Any time I'm feeling gloomy, all I have to do is show up here to see what silliness you're up to and my day is saved. 🙂 What a lot of work! They ARE cute though.

Ha, it's never dull in my world. I'm usually in the kitchen grinning from ear to ear every single day.

I can already tell that I'd have been pretending to be a giant while eating them too. I love some good pucker power so these are right up my alley.
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, I spend way too much time acting out scenarios in my house. We should set up a video camera in the kitchen. I'm an uninhibited spaz in my kitchen.

Yikes, those wafers even look tiny in the photos so I can't imagine how long it took to pipe these sandwiches together. I would've inhaled the whole batch of them in 1/10th of the time it took you to make. They look adorable!
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, I have some serious patience when photo shoots are involved. Not so much when they're over.
Chris @ The Café Sucré Farine
These are adorable Kim. I love it when mistakes turn out to be amazing surprises!
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks Chris. I had so much fun making these. So cute and full of zing.
Anna (Hidden Ponies)
These are so cute, and I think the pink colour should be mandatory - I love everything about pink lemonade!
Kim Beaulieu
I concur. I love anything pink.

The funny thing about tiny food is if you get the camera close enough, it looks big. When I was developing and photographing recipes for a French company, I would make tiny cakes and photograph them up close to make them look full size. Otherwise, I would have been full size with all the calories around.
Kim Beaulieu
So true Suzanne. I was tempted to put down a coin so people could get a visual of how small they are.
Emily @ Life on Food
These are super cute! I am sure they were a pain but well worth it once the cute factor comes into play. They would be perfect for a baby shower!
Kim Beaulieu
I love cute food. I just can't help myself.
Coco in the Kitchen
Omg they're so cute, Kim. I can just see myself popping one into my mouth w my right hand, then another w my left, then another and another.....
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, pretty much what I was doing. xx
Renee @CreativeMamaMessyHouse
I bet they would work also work using Country Time pink lemonade mix instead of the Crystal Light. I prefer not to use sugar-free/sugar-substitutes.
Kim Beaulieu
Absolutely. It would work with any mix, you could even use a little frozen concentrate or lemon extract too. Whatever works for your diet. We rarely use sugar free stuff either but I like those packets for water on occasion.
Ramona W
These are so cute... little pop in your mouth ice cream sandwiches. I would pop a dozen of them and not feel guilty. 🙂
Kim Beaulieu
I like the way you think Ramona. xx
