Thelmas Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

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 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 a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and butter; stir in milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cool completely. Stir in condensed milk.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; fold into milk mixture. Divide between two freezer containers. Stir melted chocolate into one container until well blended. Cover and freeze both mixtures for 6 hours or until firm.
• To assemble, place 1/3 cup of ice cream on the bottom of a cookie. Top with another cookie; press down gently. If desired, roll sides of ice cream sandwich in chocolate chips, jimmies, peanuts or coconut. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat. Freeze until serving.

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:

• pre-heat oven to 180 degrees.
• line bottom and sides of a 9-by-13 inch pan with aluminum foil, lightly grease with some extra butter (not from ingredients).
• melt butter over medium heat, whisk until just melted.
• remove from heat and add cocoa powder, whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
• add sugar and continue stirring until well belnded( I turned to a spoon by this point).
• let mixture cool 2 minutes.
• transfer to larger bowl.
• add eggs and vanilla and mix until well blended.
• add flour (i sifted mine) and salt, using rubbr spatula stir until batter is blended.
• scrape into prepared pan(should be quite hard as mixture doesn't run).
• spread evenly and bake until toothpick comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• remove from oven and let cool completely.
• using ends of foil remove from pan and set on a chopping board.
• cut in half lengthwise.
• spread softened ice cream evenly over one half of the brownie into a layer about 1 inch thick.
• top with other half of brownie and press down gently.
• wrap in foil, freeze until hard, about 6 hours.
• peel away foil and cut into 8 to 10 sandwiches.
• serve imediately, or store in plastic bags in freezer for up to 2 weeks.

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.
