Icecreamsandwiches Recipes

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:

• 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:

• In a bowl combine several spoonfuls of ice cream with your favorite fillings. Work together with two spoons and work with small batches so it doesn't melt on you. Place and even layer of ice cream on top of bottom layer of cookie and then top with another cookie.
• Place cookie immediately in a freezer. Repeat until all cookies are done. Allow cookies to set in freezer at least two hours.

Steps:

• Arrange a layer of ice cream sandwiches in the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish; top with a layer of whipped topping, hot fudge topping, and caramel topping. Repeat layering with remaining ice cream sandwiches, whipped topping, hot fudge topping, and caramel topping, ending with a top layer of whipped topping. Sprinkle with pecans. Cover dish with aluminum foil and freeze until set, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13- by 18-inch rimmed baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk together butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat until combined. (The batter will be thick.)
• Scrape batter into the pan and, using an offset spatula, smooth to a thin, even layer, leaving a small border of parchment paper around the edges. Bake until cake is set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer pan to a rack to cool completely.
• When you are ready to assemble, remove ice cream from freezer and let it stand for a few minutes to soften slightly.
• Using the parchment, transfer the cake to a cutting board. Cut cake in half crosswise so that you have 2 pieces that are about 9 by 13 inches each. Using a large ice cream scoop, dollop ice cream evenly over the top of one half of the cake. Using an offset spatula, spread ice cream into an even layer. Place the remaining piece of cake on the ice cream, with the top facing down, to make a large sandwich cake. Immediately wrap it well in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours.
• Remove the large sandwich cake from the freezer and take off the plastic wrap. Trim about 1/4 inch off of each edge and then cut into 12 smaller sandwiches. Wrap each sandwich well in plastic wrap and freeze until firm and ready to serve.

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:

• Mix together the ice cream and 1/2 cup of the chopped peanuts; freeze 20 to 30 minutes or until firm enough to hold its shape.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the ice cream/peanut mixture onto the bottom side of half the cookies; cover with the second cookie, top side up.
• Roll the edges in remaining chopped peanuts, place on tray and freeze for 1 to 2 hours or until firm.
• Remove from tray and wrap in plastic wrap, return to freezer.
