Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 semi-sweet chocolate baking square, melted
• 18 chocolate chip cookies or 18 sugar cookies
• chopped unsalted peanuts (optional) or flaked coconut (optional)

1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and butter; stir in milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cool completely. Stir in condensed milk.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; fold into milk mixture. Divide between two freezer containers. Stir melted chocolate into one container until well blended. Cover and freeze both mixtures for 6 hours or until firm.
3. To assemble, place 1/3 cup of ice cream on the bottom of a cookie. Top with another cookie; press down gently. If desired, roll sides of ice cream sandwich in chocolate chips, jimmies, peanuts or coconut. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat. Freeze until serving.
