LEVEL 1 — PLATE AND KNIFE

ICE CREAM

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! — ice cream sandwiches, that is. No meal would be complete without dessert, and no sandwich cookbook would be complete without an ice cream sandwich. You can customize this frozen delight any way you like. You pick the cookies, you pick the ice cream, you pick how many you can eat before brain freeze sets in.
