Double-Decker Dessert Makers

‘Nostalgia Electric’ Ice Cream Sandwich Maker Yields Deli

— July 26, 2012 — Lifestyle
The ‘Nostalgia Electric’ ice cream sandwich maker will produce your favorite double-decker desserts—the best part is that they will taste better because they’re the result of your own blood, sweat and tears (just kidding, it’s really rather easy to use).

Similar to the standard waffle maker, this gadget has two different-sized molds to quell the dessert coinnesseur in you. With the ability to make either round or rectangular ice cream sandwiches, the possibilities are (almost) endless! All you need to do is make the batter with the given recipe to make the cookie-like pieces, then you’re good to go.

There is no more need to buy these (previously un-makable treats) at the grocery store or the ice cream truck, all you need is a little dedication, some ingredients and a sizeable appetite.
