Mini Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches

These red, white, and blue ice cream sandwiches are perfect for July Fourth, but delicious anytime of year. Vanilla ice cream is sandwiched between two mini hand pies: one cherry and one blueberry. The ice cream is rolled in white chocolate chips for a sweet finish. Patriotism has never tasted so good!
