When the Fourth of July rolls around, I’m always looking for something festive, kid-friendly, and most importantly easy to make.

These 4th of July ice cream sandwiches check every box.
They’re adorable, delicious, and take just a few minutes to put together.
Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ or heading to a fireworks party, these little treats are always a hit.

Ingredients You'll Need
- 5 mini ice cream sandwiches
- 5 popsicle sticks
- ½ cup patriotic sprinkles (red, white, and blue mix)

- 1 star-shaped bowl (for sprinkles—totally optional, but adds a fun touch!)
- 1 red platter (great for that festive presentation)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep your station.
Pour your patriotic sprinkles into a small star-shaped bowl. This makes it easy to dip and also adds a fun touch if you're making these with kids or setting them up as a party activity.

2. Insert the sticks.
Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the bottom center of each mini ice cream sandwich. Go slowly so the sandwich doesn’t break apart. You want the stick to be sturdy enough to hold the sandwich for dipping.
3. Dip in sprinkles.
Once the sandwiches are on the sticks, dip the exposed ice cream sides into the bowl of sprinkles. Press gently so the sprinkles stick and cover the ice cream evenly. I like to roll them a bit for full coverage.

4. Serve or freeze.
Place each finished sandwich on a red platter for a festive look. If you're not serving them right away, pop the platter back in the freezer for about 10–15 minutes so they stay nice and firm.
Tips

- Work quickly! Ice cream melts fast, especially in the summer heat. If you're making a large batch, do them in small groups and store the rest in the freezer.
- Let the ice cream sandwiches sit at room temperature for just a minute before inserting the sticks—it helps keep the cookies from cracking.
- Want to mix it up? Use different sprinkle shapes or add a drizzle of melted chocolate before dipping in sprinkles!
