Although some soy varieties of ice cream sandwiches are available, we dreamt up something more inventive for the non-dairy set that we think may even rival the classic. Choose your preferred brand of non-dairy ice cream (we provide some suggestions below) and get to scooping, these unique frozen treats sandwich recipes are sure to make this summer the sweetest one yet!
