Okay, everyone that’s still here: we’re making ice cream sandwiches! This $16 kit from Chef’n includes two silicone molds to help you bake four pairs of ice cream sandwich-sized cookies from scratch, in whatever flavor you’d like. Brownie mix? Chocolate chip cookie dough? Exotic options like carrot cake? It’s all fair game.

Once they’re baked, use the included tools to add your ice cream into the rectangular mold, press the two sides together, and stick that sucker in the freezer for a few hours.
If you can maintain your patience, when you pop the finished sandwiches out of the molds, the frozen cookies will have just the right amount of structure to hold your sandwich together, and your ice cream will be a perfectly ergonomic rectangle with just the right mouthfeel. Could you muddle your way through an ice cream sandwich recipe without this mold? Probably. But would the results be this perfect, and would clean-up be this easy? Absolutely not. $16 well spent, if you ask us.
