Love those Icecream sandwiches
This week has been sweet.
Sweeter than usual. There is a trail in the carpet between Skaters room and the freezer. Last week I won a prize. Even sweeter I really had no inclination I was in the running. I answered a question on twitter. Apparently it was a competition and no one was more surprised when they won, than me. I am not accustomed to winning things and I have now decided that I genuinely like it. Especially when it is 100 Pat and Stick’s ice cream sandwiches!.
Do you know anything about Pat and Sticks Ice cream? I think you might want to know.
Pat and Stck’s Ice cream Sandwiches
These two Sydney friends were chatting about ice cream one day a few years back… and agreed that there was not much on sale that was really good. After a little tinkering with the home Breville ice cream machine they decided that maybe an ice cream sandwich was the way to go. They started by selling at markets and have gradually got themselves stockists all the way up and down the East coast . The ice cream is still largely made by hand by Pat and Stick them selves, in a small facility in Sydneys inner west.
Flavours of Pat & Sticks
One thing is for sure. These ice cream sandwiches are made with beautiful quality ingredients. We have marvelled at the crunchy biscuits that sandwich rich creamy ice cream in vanilla, caramel, strawberry and chocolate. There are lace biscuits , very similar to brandy snaps hugging the vanilla and espresso ice creams. The biscuits are crunchy and taste fresh baked.
Each week there is a ritual of making biscuit dough one day, custard for ice creams the next. One day is for churning and shaping and another for baking the cookies. The factory is open to the public. So go and have a look your self. Don’t expect a big shiny showroom, just a down to earth factory shop that they share with Pepe Sayer Butter . I love the whole idea of being able to eat an ice cream wrapped in a crunchy cookie ………they are just oozey finger lickin’ good.
Stacked for pleasure
What did you say?? My favourite??…….Yeah that would be caramel with a crunchy biscuit studded with pecan pieces. They retail for around $5.00 each, about $1.50 more than a fully processed type of ice cream on a stick. No competition.

***** I was a random winner of the ice cream sandwiches. This post is not sponsored and these opinions have been formed on the basis of consuming my own body weight in Ice cream sandwiches
Haha, these could be dangerous in my house. Whenever I pass by freezer I’d grab one… 🙂 Love the shape – looks like macarons, and love the small bites!
Thats the problem Nami, every time I pass by the freezer I do take one
You surely know how to take a good shot of those stacked ice cream sandwiches! Bravo 🙂
lucky you! ive only had the mocha and vanilla lace one, i visited the facotry last time and scored a free pumpkin one, apprently a seasonal special! it was so yummy!
Ooh, I’m very envious. Those ice cream sandwiches look mighty attractive – wish we could get them here!
Ok this is at least the 3rd time I’ve seen these this week. I’m going to take it as a sign that I must have one. Love your photos!
Don’t know the brand, but I love the ice cream sandwiches! Lucky you!
What a cute post. I’ve done that myself – registered for something but didn’t realize it was a big deal. When I was invited to Canberra for Human Brochure I had no idea it was free and turned them down. 🙂 Thankfully they phoned and said, “Huh???” LOL
What a great prize and one I would squee with pleasure on. I love ice cream.
The photos are so good. I love the ice cream stack in all its pretty colours. I’d love to try these are weren’t you lucky to have a win. See you soon! xx
What an amazing prize to win. That will take you a bit to get through but what fun trying all those flavours. The caramel would get to me too.
This explains why every time I have spoken to you on the phone lately you have been eating……………..
Oh these do sound yummy indeed! Lucky you too win the prize, but I hope Skater doesn’t scoff them all 🙂
So cute and delicious!
Hehe I love that you were a random winner of these Tania! And I must admit that I only really like the vanilla lace ones. They’re quite special. The others I can leave but the vanilla lace I can’t.
Congratulations on winning a delicious prize. Tania your photos are fabulous! They all make me want to grab one immediately. Gosh, I haven’t had an ice cream sandwich since last summer and now I’m craving one. It would be hard to choose a favorite now.
I followed you here after seeing that you now follow me on Twitter. What do I find? A post on ice cream sandwiches. I could not subscribe fast enough. You really do know how to make a first impression! 🙂
So…did you buy some butter as well? 🙂
I love how they look! I am going to try and make these at home. Well done for winning 🙂
