Ice Cream Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 15-by-10-inch jelly-roll pan; line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two shorter sides.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together butter and sugar until combined; whisk in egg, vanilla, and salt until combined. Add flour and cocoa, and mix just until smooth. Spread in prepared baking pan. Bake until cake is dry to the touch and edges begin to pull away from the sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
• Using paper overhang, lift cake onto a work surface. With a serrated knife, halve crosswise. Place one half of cake, flat side down, on a large piece of plastic wrap. Spread with ice cream, then top with remaining half of cake, flat side up. Return ice-cream sandwich to baking pan, and wrap tightly in plastic. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
• Unwrap sandwich; using a serrated knife, cut into 8 rectangles, wiping off blade between each cut. Serve ice-cream sandwiches immediately.

Steps:

• Cut one ice cream sandwich in half. Place one whole and one half sandwich along a short side of a high-sided 9x13-inch casserole dish. Repeat until bottom is covered, alternating the whole and half sandwiches. Spread with half of the whipped topping. Pour caramel on top. Sprinkle with half of the peanuts. Repeat layers with remaining ice cream sandwiches, whipped topping, and peanuts. The pan will be full. Cover and freeze for up to 2 months. Remove from freezer 20 minutes before serving. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. In another bowl, beat the butter, shortening, and sugar together with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla, beating until smooth. With a spoon, stir in the flour mixture, stirring just until you have a smooth dough.
• 3. Using a 2 tablespoon cookie dough scoop, drop 6 mounds of dough on each baking sheet, leaving a couple inches between each cookie. Bake until the cookies are firm around the edges and soft in the middle, about 15 minutes. (For even baking, rotate the pans from top to bottom and back to front halfway through baking.) Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
• 4. Meanwhile, turn the ice cream pints on their sides and use a serrated knife to slice through the containers, cutting each into 3 even rounds. Place the ice cream disks on a baking sheet and freeze until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
• 5. To assemble, peel the cardboard from the ice cream disks and sandwich each disk between 2 cookies. Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, butter, vanilla extract, eggs, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips. Roll dough into 2-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Do not overbake; the cookies should be set, but still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.
• Using an ice cream scoop, mold the softened ice cream into a ball about the size of the cookies. Place scoop of ice cream between two cookies and gently press together. If you like a smooth edge, run the back of a spoon around the edge of the ice cream sandwich. Working quickly, fill all of the cookies, lay out on a baking sheet, and place in the freezer to harden. Serve when the ice cream has frozen solid. Sandwich cookies can be stored in a freezer bag for up to two weeks.

Steps:

• Cut one ice cream sandwich in half.
• Place one whole and one half sandwich along a short side of an ungreased 13x9x2 inch pan.
• Arrange eight sandwiches in opposite direction in the pan.
• Spread with half of the whipped topping.
• Spoon fudge topping by teaspoonfuls onto whipped topping.
• Sprinkle with 1/2 cup peanuts.
• Repeat layers with remaining ice cream sandwiches, whipped topping and peanuts.
• Pan will be full.
• Cover and freeze.
• Remove from freezer 20 minutes before serving.
• Cut into squares.
• Can be frozen up to 2 months.

Steps:

• First make the ice cream.
• Scald milk over low heat, but do not boil.
• Stir in sugar and salt until dissolved.
• Beat the egg yolks in the top part of a double boiler, but do not put over the bottom section, and the hot water, yet.
• Slowly add the milk, a little at a time, to the beaten egg yolks, beingcareful not to heat the eggs too quickly, and continuing to beat mixture.
• Place double boiler together, and cook over hot water, until mixture is thick and smooth.
• Chill.
• Add vanilla extract, whipping cream, and half and half.
• Fold this mixture into the custard.
• Churn freeze.
• Pack in tub and place in freezer.
• Then make the Sandwich.
• In the top of a large double boiler, combine butter and chocolate. (Have heat on barely simmer.).
• Heat about 4 minutes, stirring often, until melted. During these 4 minutes, do the next 2 steps.
• Line an 11"x17" cookie sheet/pan (one with sides) with parchment paper.
• Put flour and cocoa powder in sifter on a piece of wax paper.
• Remove butter/chocolate mixture from heat and stir in sugar and salt.
• Add eggs and vanilla and blend well.
• Sift in flour/cocoa mixture and stir until just blended.
• pour batter onto parchment lined pan and spread to even thickness.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 C) 8-10 minutes, or until testing with toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool on rack for at least an hour.
• Finally build the Ice Cream Sandwich.
• Cut the Sandwich Brownie into 5ths lengthwise, and 8ths crosswise. (making 40 blocks).
• Take ice cream out of freezer and allow to soften slightly, just enough to scoop, but firm enough not to melt while you are working. If the ice cream gets too soft, put it back in the freezer and be patient. Continue when ice cream is hard again.
• Spread ice cream on first cut out shape about 1" thick or less, following shape of the cut out.
• Place second cut out on top of ice cream, press down slightly. Place on wax paper lined tray and put into your freezer.
• This is the hardest part, getting them into the freezer without too much melt down. If the sides are sloppy, you can trim them with a sharp knife, after you finish the last one.
• Freeze for 2-3 hours before serving.
• If freezing for longer, wrap individually in plastic wrap as soon as they get hard.
• Will keep for up to a week, though best used within 3 days.
• Alternative cutting.
• Using cookie cutter, cut out an even number of shapes from cooled brownie. (don't worry if there is an odd number, you can eat that one when no one is looking). Follow rest of above assembly instructions. This will make less sandwiches, as there is a lot of waste in the cutting. These scraps can be reserved to serve with bowls of ice cream.
• Elise gave me Ice Cream Sandwich Molds. This is fairly easy, once you get the hang of it. The scraps can be mushed into the mold to work like the cut outs.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, shortening, butter, egg, water and vanilla until well blended. Divide into four equal parts. , Between waxed paper, roll one part into a 10x6-in. rectangle. Remove top piece of waxed paper and invert dough onto a ungreased baking sheet. Remove second piece of waxed paper. Score the dough into eight pieces, each 3x2-1/2 in. Repeat with remaining dough. , Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until puffed. Immediately cut along the scored lines and prick holes in each piece with a fork. Cool on wire racks., Cut ice cream into 16 slices, each 3x2-1/2x1 in. Place ice cream slice between two chocolate cookies; wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Freeze on a baking sheet overnight. May be frozen for up to 2 months.

Steps:

• In an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish, place a layer of ice cream sandwiches in aluminum foil-covered dish.
• Top layer of sandwiches with a layer of chocolate ice cream.
• Add another layer of ice cream sandwiches, and another layer of chocolate ice cream.
• Freeze for 1 hour.
• Crush sandwich cookies in a resealable bag.
• For the icing, combine the crushed sandwich cookies and whipped topping until well mixed.
• Cover frozen cake with topping.
• Garnish with more crushed sandwich cookies and serve immediately or freeze.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and corn syrup in another medium bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg yolk and vanilla; beat until combined.
• Reduce mixer speed to low, add dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Mix in sour cream. Form dough into a 3/4"-thick square, wrap tightly in plastic, and chill until firm, 2-3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of parchment to about 1/8" thickness. Transfer dough (still between parchment) to a large baking sheet and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes. Remove top sheet of parchment (it will come away easily if dough is well chilled) and trim to a 14x10" rectangle. Bake cookie until dry and just set at edges, 8-10 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack; let cookie cool.
• Trim cookie to a 12x9" rectangle, then cut into twelve 3" squares. Scoop ice cream into a medium bowl and mix just until softened, 2-3 minutes. Turn 6 cookies bottom side up. Dividing evenly, scoop ice cream on top and flatten slightly; top with remaining cookies, pressing down gently. Place sandwiches on a parchmentlined baking sheet and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. Cut sandwiches in half on a diagonal to make triangles. Wrap in parchment, if desired, and freeze until ready to serve.
• DO AHEAD: Ice cream sandwiches can be made 1 week ahead. Keep frozen.
