My creation for these started with a creamy batch of homemade Baileys Ice cream, then it was perfectly sandwiched between two very addicting Thin Mints. Perfect for St Patrick’s Day!
Every March, thanks to St. Patty’s Day, I have green on my mind and the Girl Scouts’ green Thin Mints box is no exception. How can you say no to the sweet, freckle-faced and pig-tailed girls outside the grocery store?
So it was inevitable that the Irish holiday and excess of cookies would somehow collide. I decided to make the first ever, Mini Irish Cream Ice Cream and Thin Mint Cookie Sandwich! They were so good I had to pinch myself (and I was wearing green!).
How To Make Baileys Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich – Step By Step
- Mix the half-and-half and sugar in a bowl on medium speed until sugar has dissolved.
- Add in heavy cream and the vanilla paste and continue to mix on medium speed until the mixture is frothy and a littler thicker in consistency.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to maker you’re using.
- 10 minutes before the ice cream is fully finished, add in the Irish Cream. Then leave it in the ice cream maker for another 10 minutes. Then freeze until thick.
- Place a small scoop of ice cream between 2 Thin Mints and add a dash of gold sprinkles.
- Freeze and enjoy!
Gold Topping for Baileys Ice Cream Sandwiches
I topped them off with a dash of gold sparkle as an ode to the pot of gold. These little guys won’t last long in our freezer… not with a tiny Leprechaun living in our home!
Why Do Thin Mints Taste Better Frozen?
The freezer will keep them fresher but also makes the Thin Mints’ taste of cold minty goodness when you bite into them. In fact they are so elevated taste wise, when frozen, that they are almost a different cookie altogether!
A Perfect Treat For St Patrick’s Day
This little pucks of minty goodness are the perfect St Patrick’s Day treat!
The Baileys Irish Ice Cream is an awesome filling, with a little kick. These are easy to whip and great as a make ahead treat. Get a batch ready for your party, just don’t eat them all beforehand.
Top Tips For Baileys Ice Cream Cookies
- Don’t over stack the filling.
- Use an ice cream scoop to measure out your portions of ice cream.
- garnish with gold sprinkles.
- Enjoy!
