About

The Italians make a to-die-for ice cream sandwich with brioche and gelato. To Americans it’s a bit unconventional-rolls and ice cream? But I assure you, it tastes incredible. In this recipe, instead of having to prepare time-consuming brioches, I use a light, buttery biscuit. Now you can try this Italian-inspired treat without getting on an airplane.
