Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
An ice cream sandwich is a great summer treat. Not only is it cool and tasty, but it has a little bit of nostalgia attached to it because you probably ate them as a kid, with the ice cream squishing out from between the cookies and making a mess of things. Somehow, that seemed to make it taste even better at the time.
Substituting pound cake for the cookies usually found on ice cream sandwiches is a great way to reinvent the classic dessert into something a little bit more elegant for summer entertaining. Just thinly slice up a store-bought (or homemade) pound cake and spread some softened ice cream between two slices. Wrap each serving up with plastic wrap and, when you're ready to serve, just place one on each plate and garnish with whipped cream and berries.
There is no reason that you have to use these sandwiches when entertaining, of course. You can simply stock them in your freezer and have them yourself when the mood strikes you.

It looks and sounds incredibly delicious. I love pound cake by itself. Add ice cream and I would be in ecstasy with the first bite.

Pound cake would really lend itself to ice cream though. Since it tastes just as good somewhat thawed after being frozen as it does warmed up.

I think I'd cut the sandwiches into strips and serve with a chocolate dipping sauce and berries. I might also roll the sides into chopped nuts, while the ice cream is soft, before wrapping and freezing.

Dan, I had forgotten how much I loved toasted pound cake as a kid. With ice cream on toasted pound cake the flavor would soar.
Okay, let's make it food porn. Freeze the sanswich, nuts and all. Then coat it in hard shell chocolate, more nuts and brown sugar crunch bits. Honestly to die for.
