The dark rum and ginger beer add warmth and spice to the creamy vanilla ice cream, while the chocolate wafer cookies provide a satisfying crunch. Perfect for cooling down on a hot day or indulging in a sweet treat with a kick

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dark rum
• 1 cup ginger beer
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of kosher salt
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream
• 12 chocolate wafer cookies

Instructions:

In a medium saucepan, combine the dark rum, ginger beer, dark brown sugar, lime juice, grated ginger, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt

Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved

Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon

Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature

Once cooled, place the vanilla ice cream in a large bowl and pour the rum mixture over the top

Fold the mixture together until well combined

Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight

To assemble the ice cream sandwiches, scoop a generous portion of ice cream onto half of the chocolate wafer cookies

Top with the remaining cookies to form sandwiches

Serve immediately, or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to eat
