monster truck wheels | ice cream sandwiches

For our combo Father's Day-Birthday party last week, I made 'monster truck wheels' for dessert since I was making a birthday cake the next day. Though I knew Caleb would love them, it was also an excuse for me to make ice cream sandwiches, something I was hankering to do all last summer but never got around to actually doing. Caleb wanted chocolate cookies, but as I was thinking about which flavor of ice cream to put inside, I figured I'd make the ice cream for the Dads, and particularly the Dad I'm married to (and that pretty much means coffee or chocolate). I made Espresso-Cinnamon Gelato from my favorite dessert cookbook ever that I am always raving about. It has yet to fail me! Caleb & Maddie got the colored stars (yes, Caleb insisted on these despite them not being monster-truck-like), but I rolled the rest in chocolate chips. SO GOOD!!!
