About Ice cream sandwich
The ice cream sandwich is a freezer-aisle classic: a slab of vanilla ice cream pressed between two soft, cakey chocolate wafers that turn pleasantly chewy as they sit against the cold filling. Sold individually wrapped, it has the built-in advantage of being a fixed, single-serving portion rather than a tub you keep going back to.
On a per-100-gram basis it runs about 237 calories, with roughly 4 grams of protein, 8.6 grams of fat and 37 grams of carbohydrate. Close to half of that carbohydrate — around 18.6 grams — is sugar, split between the sweetened ice cream and the wafers. The wafers also push the calorie density a little higher than plain ice cream would be on its own.
It's a treat, plainly, and best enjoyed as one. The upside is the portion control: a single sandwich typically weighs around 60 grams, so one comes in well under 150 calories. Sodium is modest at about 129 milligrams per 100 grams and cholesterol is low, near 21 milligrams. As frozen desserts go, the fixed size makes it an easy one to keep in proportion.
