GALAXY ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

If you’re as obsessed with the unicorn dessert craze as I am, odds are you’ll be just as ecstatic about the Galaxy-themed desserts that keep popping up all over Instagram and Pinterest. Whether it’s galaxy cupcakes, galaxy cookies, or galaxy donuts, it’s impossible NOT to get lost in their mesmerizingly beautiful colors and starry sprinkles. Who knew science and space could be so fun and pretty?? Not to mention, DELICIOUS
Being the science enthusiast (nerd) that she is, these Galaxy Ice Cream Sandwiches were perfect for my cousin’s baby shower. It should come as no surprise that they were an absolute hit.

Like I mentioned earlier, people can’t really say no to ANY treat that has bright colors and sprinkles. And if they do, drop them. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life…

INGREDIENTS

• 18 whole graham crackers
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 cups heavy cream
• Food coloring (black, pink, blue, and purple)
• 1 (12 oz) bag purple candy melts*
• 3 Tablespoons coconut oil
• Sprinkles

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving a good amount of overhang on the sides. Break the graham crackers in half and arrange them on the bottom of the pan. To solve the issue of extra space on the side, use a ruler as a “receding wall” underneath the plastic wrap along with a freezer-safe item that’ll fit behind it. I used five fun-sized Butterfinger chocolate bars. Click on the link for more in-depth instructions.
2. In the well-chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth. Add in heavy cream and beat on high until mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Divide ice cream among four bowls and dye each separately to desired shade.** Plop spoonfuls of each colored ice cream randomly over the graham crackers until you’ve used them all up. Use a knife to swirl the colors together, then smooth out the top. Arrange the remaining graham crackers on top. Wrap the plastic wrap over the ice cream sandwiches and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
