Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large rainbow bagels, sliced in half horizontally
- 2 cups (about 480 ml) of your favorite ice cream (vanilla bean recommended)
- Butter or margarine for toasting bagel halves
- Optional toppings: sprinkles or rainbow-colored nonpareils, mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts
Instructions
- Slice each rainbow bagel in half horizontally with a serrated knife.
- Lightly toast the bagel halves in a toaster or skillet with a thin layer of butter until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Let cool slightly.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-7 minutes until soft but not melted.
- Spoon about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of softened ice cream onto the bottom half of each bagel and spread evenly.
- Add optional toppings if desired.
- Place the other half of the bagel on top and press lightly to form a sandwich.
- Place sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Serve cold from the freezer or let sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before eating.
Notes
Let ice cream soften for 5-7 minutes for easy spreading. Toasting bagels with butter adds a crispy, golden finish but is optional. Avoid overfilling with ice cream to prevent mess. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice bagels cleanly. Store sandwiches wrapped tightly in the freezer for up to one week.
