Black And White Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Place large scoops of ice cream between cookies or thin brownies and squish the ice cream out to the edges. Roll the ice cream sandwiches in chopped walnuts and serve.

Steps:

• Arrange 2 oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cardamom, salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat the brown sugar and butter together with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides, add the egg and beat to combine. Add the molasses and beat to combine. Slowly add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
• Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls, about 1 tablespoon each, then roll them in sanding sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and flatten slightly.
• Bake, rotating halfway through, until puffy and crackled on top, about 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile fold the cayenne, 1/2 cup crystalized ginger, and 4 teaspoons black pepper into the ice cream. Allow to re-freeze for 10 minutes. Once the ice cream is hard enough to scoop, sandwich about 1/4 cup ice cream between pairs of cookies. Re-freeze for at least 2 hours.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup crystallized ginger with the remaining 4 teaspoons pepper in a medium bowl. Roll the ice cream sandwich sides in the mixture. Serve immediately or individually wrap in plastic and keep in the freezer for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Combine flour and cocoa, and set aside. Melt together chocolates and butter in a medium bowl set over simmering water. Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add salt and sugar, stirring until sugar is almost completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove bowl from heat. Beat in eggs one at a time, then fold in flour mixture until well combined. Let dough cool slightly in bowl; it will be very soft. Divide into quarters, and spoon onto plastic wrap. Flatten each piece of dough with a wooden spoon, wrap well, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• When dough is firm, cut each piece in half. Cover a work surface with plastic wrap. Place piece of dough on the plastic, and cover with another sheet; roll out to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Keeping dough in plastic, transfer to a baking sheet; place in freezer. Repeat process until all dough is rolled out. Stack sheets of dough in freezer, and chill until very firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove sheets of dough from freezer one at a time. Place on a parchment-lined work surface, and peel off plastic wrap. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out dough, and transfer circles to baking sheet. Work quickly to prevent the dough from becoming too soft.
• Bake until cookies are firm to the touch, 14 to 16 minutes, turning baking sheet halfway through baking. Remove from oven, and let cookies cool slightly on pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• While cookies are baking, transfer ice cream (working with one flavor at a time) to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Place ice cream in refrigerator to soften slightly, about 15 minutes. Beat ice cream on medium-high speed until soft enough to spread, about 2 minutes, or beat with a wooden spoon. Set bowl in a second bowl filled with ice. Spoon some softened ice cream onto a cookie, and top with another cookie. Place sandwich in freezer, and continue process. After the ice cream has hardened, wrap sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap. Chill overnight in freezer.

Steps:

• Drop six 2/3-cup mounds mint chocolate chip ice cream onto waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. Using metal spatula, shape each mound into 3- to 3 1/2-inch square; freeze squares.
• Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Sift flour, cocoa and salt onto butter mixture. Stir until blended and soft dough forms. Gather dough into ball; flatten into rectangle. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper to 13 x 10-inch rectangle. Place dough, still between waxed paper sheets, on baking sheet. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 300°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel top sheet of waxed paper off dough. Trim dough to 12 x 9-inch rectangle; cut dough into twelve 3-inch squares. Transfer squares to parchment-lined sheet, discarding waxed paper and spacing squares about 1 inch apart. Bake until cookies are firm to touch, about 20 minutes. Cool cookies completely on sheet.
• Melt white chocolate in medium metal bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Remove bowl from over water.
• Holding corner of 1 cookie, dip cookie into melted chocolate until half covered on diagonal, tilting bowl if necessary to submerge. Shake cookie gently to allow some excess chocolate to drip back into bowl. Return dipped cookie to parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cookies and white chocolate. Freeze cookies until chocolate coating is firm, about 10 minutes.
• Arrange 6 cookies, flat side up, on work surface. Top each with frozen ice cream square, then another cookie, flat side down, pressing slightly to adhere. Cover and freeze sandwiches. (Can be made 4 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
