Black Raspberry Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

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:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Reduce the speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the sour cream.
• Roll the dough into 16 balls. Arrange on the baking sheets; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until the edges are set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Sandwich the ice cream between the cookies. Freeze until firm, 3 hours.

Steps:

• For the ice cream: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap. Spoon the ice cream into a large bowl, then add the preserves. Mix the preserves into the ice cream, leaving it somewhat swirled if possible. Spread the ice cream evenly in the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until very firm, at least 3 hours.
• For the cookies: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• Beat together the sugar and butter in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture a little at a time, beating until incorporated; knead with your hands a few times to mix in the remaining flour and bring everything together.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured piece of parchment. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out to a 1/4-inch-thick circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Cut out as many 3 1/2-inch rounds as possible. Gather the scraps and cut out more rounds. Repeat until you have 12 rounds.
• Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 1/2 inch apart. Bake until just set on top, about 8 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets on a rack.
• Assemble the cookies: Working quickly, remove the plastic wrap from the ice cream and use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out a round of ice cream (lift the plastic wrap from the bottom to help you lift out the round). Sandwich the ice cream between 2 cookies. Sprinkle on red and blue sprinkles along part of the sides and immediately transfer the ice cream sandwich to a plate in the freezer. Repeat with the remaining cookies to make 6 ice cream sandwiches. (The ice cream scraps can be gathered and kept frozen in an airtight container). Freeze the sandwiches until firm enough to serve, 3 to 4 hours.

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:

• Bring cream and milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. In a bowl, whisk together sugar and yolks until pale and thickened. Slowly whisk in warm cream mixture to sugar and yolks then return to the saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir continuously until mixture is slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Strain mixture into a bowl and place into an ice bath, stirring until cold. Remove from ice bath, whisk in raspberry puree until a pink color is formed and process in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Melt white chocolate in a double boiler. Scrape the ice cream into a large metal bowl. Continuously drizzle in the melted white chocolate while stirring at the same time with a large spatula, until fully incorporated. Cover and place in the freezer until firm.

Steps:

• Make frozen yogurt: In a blender, combine raspberries and superfine sugar and blend until smooth. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids. Whisk in yogurt. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer mixture to an airtight container and freeze 2 hours (or up to 1 month).
• Make cookies: In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, starches, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar on high until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and egg yolk and beat until combined, scraping down bowl as needed, 1 minute. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture and beat until dough comes together (dough will be sticky). Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 1/4-inch-thick round. With a 2 1/2-inch fluted cookie cutter, cut dough into 24 rounds and place on two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets (reroll scraps if necessary). Freeze 15 minutes, then bake until cookies are lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks, 20 minutes. (To store, transfer to an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.) To serve, transfer frozen yogurt to refrigerator to soften, 20 minutes. Scoop 1/4 cup frozen yogurt onto flat sides of 12 cookies and sandwich with remaining cookies.

Steps:

• Place black raspberries in the bowl of a food processor; puree until smooth. Pour black raspberry puree in a saucepan and simmer over low heat until slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Combine 1 cup cream, milk, and sugar in a 4-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 2 minutes.
• Beat eggs in a bowl and slowly mix half of the hot cream mixture into the eggs without scrambling them. Return entire mixture back to the sauce pan and add remaining 1 cup cream. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
• Combine 1 cup of cream mixture, the black raspberry puree, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend until well-combined. Pour mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture and stir until well combined. Cook and stir until custard has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour mixture into a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag and submerge in the bowl of ice water. Let stand until cool, about 30 minutes, adding more ice if necessary.
• Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to the freezer and freeze until solid.

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Mix in sugar, cream, and flour, then almonds. Stir until batter thickens, bubbles at edges, and leaves dry path when spoon is drawn through, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Drop 1 rounded teaspoonful batter for each cookie (about 24 total) onto prepared sheets, spacing mounds 2 to 3 inches apart.
• Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until golden brown, turning sheet after 8 minutes, about 16 minutes total. Cool cookies completely on sheets.
• Do ahead: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
• Soften ice cream slightly in microwave at 10-second intervals on very low setting. Place 6 cookies, flat side up, on work surface. Mound 1/4 cup ice cream onto each; flatten gently with spatula. Top with another cookie, flat side down, and press very gently to adhere. Place sandwiches on baking sheet, cover with foil, and freeze at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
