As the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to fill your freezer with all of your favorite spring and summer treats, like ice cream sandwiches, popsicles, or whatever type of dessert your sweet tooth is craving. Aldi has an impressive frozen dessert selection, but if we’re being honest, there’s one treat that stands above the rest: the Sundae Shoppe Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches—and they’re finally back.
These irresistible sandwiches, which re-appeared a few weeks ago after a year away, consist of creamy vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two soft, caramel-filled stroopwafels. As fans of this treat know, this yields the perfect balance of rich, buttery sweetness and cool, velvety indulgence. Once you’ve tried one of these ice cream sandwiches, you’ll understand why they’ve become a must-have in every freezer.

What makes these Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches so addictive is the perfect contrast of textures and flavors. Stroopwafels, which originated in the Netherlands, are thin waffle cookies with a gooey caramel filling—delicious enough to enjoy on their own, especially warmed, placed over a cup of coffee or tea. But when paired with creamy vanilla ice cream, they reach a whole new level of deliciousness. The chewy, slightly crisp stroopwafels bring a warm, buttery sweetness that perfectly complements a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I love to enjoy them straight from the freezer for a crisp, refreshing bite after dinner, but you can also let them soften slightly to reveal a rich, gooey caramel center that melts directly into the creamy vanilla ice cream (is your mouth watering yet?)
And I know it might be hard to believe but a box of four individually wrapped ice cream sandwiches is just $4.99—so not only are they cheaper than anything you could get from the ice cream truck, but they’re that much tastier, too!
If you still need more convincing to try one of these treats, take a cue from Aldi shoppers on Reddit, who pretty much unanimously agree that the Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches are a worthy purchase. “I bought these when [Aldi] had them last summer, and they only lasted about four minutes in this house,” one shopper wrote. “They are so good! I can’t wait to get them again!”
Another customer added: “My husband LOVES these. He said they’re amazing.”
