Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches

L’Original Macaron Ice Cream is a Handheld Dairy Dessert

— July 7, 2023 — Lifestyle
Papila Collection's L’Original Macaron Ice Cream puts a colorful, refreshing spin on the classic ice cream sandwich by swapping out the usual biscuits, wafers or cookies with a delicate French confection. According to the company, the biggest challenge in creating these frozen desserts was "mastering the delicate balance of humidity transfer from the ice cream to the macaron shell, a feat that required exceptional skill and ingenuity to prevent sogginess."

These hybrid desserts are available in three varieties: Chocolate—with the macaron and ice cream both made with 80% cocoa gourmet chocolate—Raspberry and Lychee, and classic Vanilla, made with a premium blend of three vanillas sourced from Madagascar, Mexico and Tahiti.

These handheld frozen dairy desserts were developed with a French award-winning pastry chef and they're exclusive to all Sam's Clubs in the United States.
