Goya Ice Cream Sliders

Your New Favorite Summer Sandwich

To make the most delicious (and adorable) ice cream sandwiches, we layered GOYA® Maria Cookies with GOYA® Dulce de Leche and ice cream, and then rolled the mini treats in our favorite toppings. A word of caution: with their small size and big taste, you’ll eat more than one!

Soften Ice Cream, Now!

You know that ice cream softens when it’s left out on the counter for 15-30 minutes. But if the ice cream is rock hard and you don’t want to wait patiently, try this: Remove the lid from the carton of ice cream and microwave on medium for 10 seconds. Voilá - soft, scoop-able ice cream - at the ready!
