Sandwich Situation
The Spoonstress, Peter and I had fun playing with our food last night. More specifically, our dessert.We were testing different ice cream "sandwiches," the definition of which was pretty flexible. Some combinations of filling and "bread" were better than others (I'll spell that out more in the column), but one thing that doesn't work is any kind of ice cream between two Oreo halves.
As you can see, it got messy. The filling--orange sherbet here--squirted out upon first bite. The conclusion: Oreos are too hard for ice cream sandwiches. In the long term, soft is good. In the short term, we went with the open-faced ice cream sandwich (pictured here).
It wasn't a solution for making an ice cream sandwich, but it was a tasty solution to a messy situation. Learning from our mistakes, I was resigned to not using Oreos in ice cream sandwiches. Then I saw them.
Oreo Cakesters.
They're supposedly "the classic taste of Oreo in a soft snack cake." While opinions on this new product vary, I'm sure they'll at least hold the ice cream well (Even if they are a blatant Devil Dogs rip off). Then again, aren't they just regular ice cream sandwich wafers??

devil dog rip off they may be, but the filling is classic oreo and oh my goodness! and less we forget, theres a chocolate filling version too! i tried them by accident...big mistake!
Well, I broke down and bought a box of Cakesters. Anything in the name of research. You're right--they maintain that "classic oreo" taste despite their softness.
I'm still partial to regular O-R-E-O's, but then again, I haven't tried the chocolate.
