  2. Carefully fan out the sliced strawberries and place a few blueberries on top of the ice cream before closing the sandwich with the second cookie.

Notes

Store sandwiches individually in plastic wrap or an airtight container with parchment paper in between layers for up to two weeks. Best enjoyed straight from the freezer.
