These ice cream cookie bonbons are covered in milk chocolate and filled with your favorite ice cream. They’re super easy to make and delicious, too.
This past weekend, my husband and I decided to pull out some of our favorite chocolate to create a quick treat. And since the weather’s warmed a bit, I thought it would be the perfect day for making an ice cream treat. With just a few pantry items, we created a new treat entirely–Ice Cream Cookie Bonbons –and we were both pleased with how great they turned out.
Our only regret was making just a dozen. My goodness, you just pop these delicious goodies in your mouth and eat the whole thing in one bite.
So today I’m sharing a recipe to make two dozen, instead. That way, you’ll have plenty for everyone to try; and a couple of extras for seconds, too.
There isn’t much prep time for this one, just grab a few ingredients which you can find at any local store and you probably already have these ingredients right now.
Ice Cream Bonbons
Here’s what I used to make mine.
24 chocolate cream filled cookies
1 quart of vanilla ice cream
1 lb. milk chocolate wafers
I used chocolate cream filled cookies because Hubby and the boys devour them and they love the flavor of cookies n’ cream everything. But feel free to use vanilla flavored cookies. I’m sure those would taste great, too.
Ice Cream Bon Bons are Super Delicious!
For me, nothing satisfies a sweet tooth like a big bowl of ice cream- or maybe a big bowl of chocolate – and these bonbons give you a bite of that flavor combo in a fun new way.
Ice Cream bonbons are super easy to make and the chocolate coating is so good!
The best part of this recipe is that you only use the bottom portion of your cookies. Just take off the top cookie to enjoy the excess while you’re making the bonbons. After all, we wouldn’t want them to go to waste.
Quick and Easy Ice Cream Treat
The ice cream cookie bonbons remind me a lot of an ice cream sandwich with that sweet chocolate cookie crust on the bottom, but with a little extra bonus when covered in the milk chocolate shell. They’re perfect for your upcoming summer get togethers and I know your family and friends will love them, too.
Also, you could use white chocolate, dark chocolate chips, or even peanut butter chips, whatever you prefer. I’m sure they’d all be just as tasty. You could even add a few sprinkles on top!
The ice cream flavor could also be whatever you have in the freezer. Try some strawberry or maybe even mint chocolate chip!

Ice Cream Cookie Bonbons
Yields 2 Dozen
Ingredients
- 24 chocolate cream filled cookies
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
- 1 lb. milk chocolate wafers
Instructions
- While ice cream sets to soften just a bit, line a baking pan with parchment paper and take apart the cookies, being careful to keep the cream filling attached to one side.
- Lay out the 24 cream topped cookies on the parchment-lined cookie sheet and with a small ice cream scoop, just top each one of the cookies with a scoop of ice cream. If you don’t have a small ice cream scoop, tablespoons can work just as easily for scooping just the right amount, too.
- Place the ice cream topped cookies in the freezer for about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate wafers according to package directions, keeping the chocolate warm but not too hot. We use the microwave for this step, using a fork to stir the chocolate every few seconds, but make sure to read your directions on how to melt it properly.
- Dip each ice cream topped cookie in the chocolate and set on parchment or waxed paper.
- Serve immediately or store in your freezer until ready to serve. Enjoy!
