Ingredients
  

For the Sandwiches
  • 8 pieces pumpkin waffles (homemade or store-bought), toasted and cooled Ensure waffles are fully cooled before assembly.

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce For drizzling on top.
  • 1/3 cup crushed graham crackers, for coating Use sweet graham crackers for crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. After toasting your pumpkin waffles, let them rest until they reach room temperature.
  2. Take one waffle and place a generous scoop of your slightly softened ice cream on the flat side. Top with another waffle, flat-side down, gently pressing to help spread the ice cream evenly toward the edges.
  3. Roll the sides of the exposed ice cream in crushed graham crackers for added flavor and crunch.
  4. Once assembled, place your waffle sandwiches on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  5. After freezing, wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap for easy storage.
  6. When ready to serve, drizzle caramel sauce over each sandwich and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.

Notes

These sandwiches are perfect for gatherings, with many versatile options for customization. Consider serving with side dishes like warm spiced apple cider or fresh fruit.
