Serve up this two minute dessert for a sweet treat this week. Fruit roll up ice cream sandwiches are a delicious fruit roll up that is filled with ice cream and folded up and eaten like a hand pie.
Start by unraveling the fruit roll up from the plastic.
Rainbow Fruit Roll Up
Place the fruit roll up in a single layer on the counter.
Then add a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of the roll up.
1 Scoop Vanilla Ice Cream
Then fold the edges in creating a sealed pocket.
Eat the fruit roll up ice cream sandwich right away, otherwise the ice cream will melt.
Notes
Unroll the fruit roll-up fully and lay it completely flat on the counter before adding any ice cream. If it's not flat, it won't fold neatly.
Keep the ice cream scoop centered so you have enough fruit roll-up on all sides to fold up and seal. A cookie scoop works great for getting a consistently sized ball.
Work quickly once the ice cream hits the roll-up. It starts hardening the fruit snack almost immediately, so you want to fold it while it's still pliable.
Only make as many as you plan to eat right away. These don't hold up; the ice cream melts and the roll-up softens quickly.
If you're serving these at a party or to a group, scoop all the ice cream onto a lined baking sheet and pop it in the freezer while you lay out the roll-ups. Then assemble quickly one by one and hand them straight out.
The crunchier the fruit roll-up, the better the texture contrast. Rainbow Fruit Roll-Ups tend to give the best snap once the ice cream hits them.
