Today we celebrate ice cream sandwiches in all their forms and flavors!
They first appeared in the late 1890s in New York City, being sold by
street vendors for a penny. They consisted of a thin quarter-inch layer
of ice cream between two thin graham wafers. There are many ice cream sandwich variations in the United States and
around the world. The most common is made of a vanilla ice cream slab
between two thin chocolate cookie layers that resemble a chocolate cake. Ice cream sandwiches are also popular around the world. In Australia,
the most popular ice cream sandwiches are called Giant Sandwiches.
Another favorite in Australia are Maxibons, which are partially dipped
in chocolate. In Singapore, popular flavors consist of honeydew, red
bean, and yam.
