Velvet Ice Cream Easter Recipes and Prize Pack Giveaway
While we may not be able to celebrate Easter in our traditional manners, such as gatherings at church, a meal with families, Easter Egg hunts and more. let me share some easy and tasty treats you can make for your homebound family this Easter with a sweet company right here in my hometown state of Ohio – Velvet Ice Cream.
Velvet Strawberry Ice Cream Easter Egg Sandwiches:
Ingredients:
- Velvet Strawberry Ice Cream
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Powdered sugar, for rolling out dough
Directions:
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Place butter and sugar in a large bowl of electric stand mixer and beat until light in color. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Remove 1 wrapped pack of dough from refrigerator at a time, sprinkle rolling pin with powdered sugar, and roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick. Move the dough around and check underneath frequently to make sure it is not sticking. If dough has warmed during rolling, place cold cookie sheet on top for 10 minutes to chill. Cut into desired shape, place at least 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet, parchment, or silicone baking mat, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to turn brown around the edges.
Take one cookie and place a ½ cup of Velvet Strawberry ice cream on it. Spread ice cream out to the edges of the cookie. Take the second cookie and place on top.
Repeat process for as many sandwiches needed, then place in the freezer until ready to serve.

This one is called Thunder & Lightening. Its plain ice cream (like Vanilla) with a swirl of chocolate sauce running through it and honeycomb bits sprinkled in and on it. I was astonished by how good it was. This was like “This is good..!!” Lastly, I’m utterly in love with slightly salted caramel ice cream. Mackies in Scotland makes a very good Salted Caramel. It is my new favorite,
