Gone are the days when the only ice cream sandwiches available to you were the ones that came in a paper wrapper and stuck to the roof of your mouth. And while it may have been fun to chase down the ice cream truck back in the day, these days we can have all the crazy ice cream sandwich concoctions we want (one of the many perks of adulthood). They could be made between two waffles, churros or donuts and have fillings of any kind — even vegan and Paleo ice cream! Scroll down for ice cream sandwich hacks that prove the sky's the limit when getting creative with your food.
