Whoever came up with the idea of making an ice cream sandwich was simply a genius. In the beginning, that great idea consisted of a cream-based ice cream placed between two cookies, usually made of chocolate and with small holes. For the most part, these ice creams are rectangular (although they can be made in any shape you prefer) because the cookies are also rectangular. The berry and condensed milk ice cream sandwich is a delicious variation on this imaginative dessert .
The ice cream sandwich is also known by the name of alfajor ice cream , and it is believed that those who invented this way of eating ice cream were vendors from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, in New York, who wandered around selling those delicacies to late 19th century (approximately 1890). Sandwiches became so popular that many dairy companies decided to create different versions. This is how the berry ice cream and condensed milk sandwich was born.
