No, this isn't Google's Android mobile operating system release of the same name, but the confection it is named after.
The ice cream sandwich consists of a block of ice cream that is "sandwiched" between two biscuits (cookies), wafers or pieces of cake. There are number of regional variations on this dish, but they are generally very similar to each other and are recognisable as being the same dish. Those that are made with wafers could also optionally have the wafers dipped in chocolate.
There is no one flavour of ice cream that can be used in this sandwich; although vanilla ice cream may be the most popular flavour in the British Isles, New Zealand and North America, other flavours can also be used. The sandwiches can be bought pre-made, or the wafers or other "sandwich" parts can be purchased separately, and the finished dish made at home. The pre-made varieties are easier and more consistent. A reasonably hard type of ice cream is really needed; soft scoop is a little too soft to be truly effective.
