Here are quick ideas for tiny dessert sandwiches you can make or buy, focusing on small, bite-sized treats. What “small” dessert sandwiches can be
- Mini ice cream sandwiches: use two small cookies or wafers with a scoop of ice cream in between. You can customize with chocolate chips, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or crushed cookies for a fun coating.
- Mini wafer or biscuit sandwiches: two thin cookies (like vanilla wafers or mini graham crackers) with a dollop of flavored cream or soft ice cream in the middle.
- Whoopie-pie style bites: small rounds of cake-like cookies sandwiched with frosting or ganache, formed into bite-sized portions.
- Fruit-forward sandwiches: halves of ripe strawberries or other fruit with a light whipped vanilla cream between two tiny cookies or biscuit rounds.
- Cookie-meets-crostata bites: small shortbread or sugar cookies paired with a creamy filling (cream cheese sweetened with a touch of lemon or vanilla).

- Freeze briefly for a firmer bite if using ice cream fillings.
Storage tips
- If using ice cream fillings, freeze assembled sandwiches on a parchment-lined tray until firm, then store in an airtight container.
- For non-ice cream fillings, keep in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days; freeze for longer storage if needed.
