White Chocolate Macadamia and Peach Ice Cream Sandwich

To get the gourmet look of these White Chocolate Macadamia and Peach Ice Cream Sandwiches, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. After removing ice cream from the ice cream freezer, spread in an even layer to desired thickness in prepared pan, and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. Then use cookie cutters instead of a scoop for each sandwich. We used a 2½-inch round cutter.
