Matzo Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the Peeps from two 3-ounce packages but don't separate them (you'll have four rows total). Turn a rectangular 1 1/2-quart container of vanilla ice cream on its side and cut off a 1 1/4-inch-thick slab. Peel off the carton, then cut the slab in half lengthwise. Sandwich each half between two rows of Peeps and trim any extra ice cream. Freeze, then slice into individual treats.

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons each heavy cream and chocolate malt powder; brush onto thin slices of marble pound cake. Stir 1/4 cup chocolate malt powder into 1 pint softened vanilla ice cream; sandwich between the pound cake slices (cream-side in). Freeze at least 1 hour. Cut each sandwich in half and press the cut sides in crisp chocolate cereal (such as Cocoa Krispies).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides. Butter the foil.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl. Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the sugar and eggs, then add the flour mixture and stir to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs adhering, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack, then place in the freezer to firm up, about 30 minutes.
• Use the foil overhang to help lift the brownie out of the pan and carefully flip it over onto a cutting board, making sure that it does not bend or crack. Peel the foil away from the bottom, then discard the foil and line the baking sheet with plastic wrap.
• Using a warm knife, trim the rough edges off of the brownie so it is even (the brownie should be 16-by-12-inches). Cut the brownie in half crosswise, resulting in 2 pieces that are 12-by-8-inches. Lay one of the brownie pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, top-side facing down. Working quickly, use a large ice cream scoop to spread the ice cream evenly across the brownie, getting close to the edge. Use an offset or rubber spatula to help smooth out the sides and top of the ice cream. Place the other brownie piece on top and gently press to create one large ice cream sandwich. Fold the plastic wrap around the assembled ice cream sandwich to help hold its shape, then return it to the freezer to harden, at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• Use a warm knife to cut twenty-four ice cream sandwiches. Roll the edges of each sandwich into the chopped espresso beans until they stick to all of the exposed ice cream edges. Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and enjoy.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil over medium-high. Immediately remove from heat and add chocolate. Let sit 5 minutes, then whisk until chocolate is melted and smooth, 1 minute. Place 1 matzo cracker on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread 1/3 cup chocolate mixture evenly over matzo and freeze until set, 5 minutes.
• Working on sheet, arrange scoops of mint chip ice cream in an even layer on chocolate-covered matzo and top with another matzo, gently pressing to adhere. Spread 1/3 cup chocolate mixture on top and freeze until set, 5 minutes. Repeat process with chocolate ice cream, matzo, and chocolate mixture, and top with almonds. Freeze until set, 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours), then serve.
