Pop Tart and Ice Cream etiquette

Tradition dictates to eat these 2 in sammich form, but the ice cream keeps being shmooshed out the edges when I try to bite. Is it acceptable to consume these like chips and dip?

    coat the sides with M&M's to prevent ice cream spillage beyond the pop tart boundary.

    Do what you do with Ice cream sandwiches: Lick the edges until everything is properly secured.

    I don't make sandwiches anymore. I put my scoop in a bowl on top of my Pop Tart and make sure I get ice cream with every bite of Pop Tart.

    Won't the tart break it you try to use it like a chip? I say stick the sandwich, and lick the excess.
  • I'm not one for rules or etiquette for that matter. It's like this - bowl of pumpkin pie ice cream, break pumpkin pie pop tart into bite sized pieces and place in bowl with ice cream, top with reese's pieces and eat.

    I like to sometimes crumble my pop tart into my ice cream. But I am a rebel.

    I eat ice cream sammies broken up in a bowl like cereal. Biting into ice cream kills my fillings.
    lick it, lick it slowly.

    Waiting for junk pics. :love:

    Great ideas. There's always bacon bits and/or chocolate chips.

    Honestly, I thought Pop Tart ice cream sammies were just a thing on here; someone made one and passed it along in the group. I found out they're sold at Carl's Jr..

    This is just wrong.

    It only uses one Pop Tart, cut in half.

    A real Pop Tart Ice Cream sandwich should look like this:

    Make your sandwich early then freeze on wax paper for like half an hour.
    Should help it set so it doesn't smoosh out

    I like it smooshing out the side. Then I lick the ice cream out from the side.

    Can't you just lick the sides like with an ice cream sandwich?

    I like to enjoy mine messy just like eating a burger with too many sauces.

    But not toasting the pop tart helps (i like mine warm with the cold ice cream).

    I heard of people sealing the edges with Nutella or peanut butter or candy. ( like peanut M&M's, so when you apply pressure they act as support beams) .


    Pop Tart and Ice cream sandwiches back in the 90s, so they aren't a new thing at all.
