Triple Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• On 2 separate plates, spread out the walnuts and the mini chocolate chips. Scoop about 1/3 cup ice cream and press between 2 cooled cookies. Roll half of each sandwich in chips and half in walnuts. Repeat with remaining cookies. Freeze immediately until firm, about 1 hour, and then serve.
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix the vegetable shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until smooth. Beat in the egg until incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cocoa, and baking soda until smooth and combined. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. Do not over mix or the dough will become tough.
• Form about 2 tablespoons of dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Press down lightly and gently round edges. Bake for about 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
• Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Steps:

• Cover the flat side of 4 cookies with melted dark chocolate; tap the cookies lightly to smooth out the chocolate.
• While still wet, use a piping bag or spoon to make a ghost shape with the white chocolate; tap lightly once more to smooth as needed. More white designs can be added to the dark chocolate background if desired.
• Use melted dark chocolate to make the eyes and screaming mouth; tap or shake once more to even and smooth out.
• Let chocolate cool until hard and dry to the touch, at least 1 hour.
• Scoop ice cream on 4 remaining cookies, and cover with the tops. Carefully press to flatten, and transfer to a freezer to freeze thoroughly before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets (I use parchment paper instead).
• On medium speed, beat butter until fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
• Beat in the brown sugar until smooth, 1-2 minutes.
• Beat in egg, oats, flour, coconut, chocolate chips, baking soda and salt until blended, 1-2 minutes. The dough is very thick and stiff.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets. I use a cookie scoop for this so that they all come out the same. Flatten into 2 inch rounds. You're supposed end up with 24 cookies but I always get 22. If you wet your hands, the dough will not stick to your fingers.
• Bake 10-12 minutes or until JUST starting to brown lightly.
• Cool 5-10 minutes or so on pans (or until you can lift them off easily without them becoming deformed). Transfer to racks and cool completely. At this point, I freeze the cookies. It makes putting the ice cream sandwiches together so much easier and the cookies don't crack or break.
• You want the ice cream to be JUST softened enough to scoop out. If it's too soft, it's a pain and squeezes out the sides of the cookies to much. Scoop about 1/3 cup of your favorite ice cream onto the flat side of 12 cookies and top with the other 12 cookies. Press down lightly so the ice cream squeezes out to the edges. I use a small butter knife to smooth it out all the way around. Put your sprinkles or whatever decorations you're using into a small, shallow but wide bowl or saucer. Roll the ice cream sandwiches through the sprinkles like a wheel kind of and the sprinkles will easily stick to the ice cream around the edges. See photos.
• Freeze at least 1 hour (really, I'm serious! You have to freeze them at least an hour or the ice cream will squeeze out the sides when you eat them) and then wrap the 1 or 2 that you haven't eaten (ha, ha) in plastic wrap for a midnight snack.

Steps:

• Make the white chocolate cookies using the chewy chocolate recipe, substituting the cocoa for 1/4 cup coconut and the chocolate pudding for white chocolate pudding, and leave out the chips Make the dark chocolate cookies using the chewy chocolate recipe, simply substituting the chocolate pudding for a dark chocolate pudding, and leave out the chips. Once cookies are cool, place 1 scoop of chocolate ice cream on each of the white chocolate cookies and top with a dark chocolate cookie. Either enjoy right away, or place individual sandwiches in ziptop baggies and freeze until ready to eat.

Steps:

• Combine strawberries, 1/3 cup sugar, and corn syrup in medium bowl. Using potato masher, mash until puree forms; let stand 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring cream, milk, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar to simmer in heavy medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Using electric mixer, beat yolks in medium bowl until thick and pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in hot cream mixture. Return mixture to saucepan. Stir over medium heat until custard thickens and forms path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 4 minutes (do not boil). Strain custard into large bowl. Cool. Stir in strawberry mixture and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate custard until cold, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
• Process custard in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer ice cream to container; cover and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
• Place 1 frozen Triple-Chocolate Cookie flat side up on work surface. Place 1/2 cup ice cream atop cookie. Using offset spatula or butter knife, gently spread ice cream to cover cookie; top with another cookie, flat side down, and press gently to adhere. Repeat with remaining ice cream and cookies, making 8 ice cream sandwiches total. Wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight. Let ice cream sandwiches stand at room temperature 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine sweetened condensed milk and vanilla; mix well. Fold in whipped cream and chips. Pour into 9x5-inch loaf pan; cover. Freeze 6 hours or until firm.
• Scoop about 1/4 cup ice cream onto bottom of 1 cookie; top with another cookie, top side up. Press gently. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat for remaining sandwiches. Store in freezer.
• TIPS: Do not use non-dairy whipped topping in place of whipping cream!
• Replace the chocolate chip or chocolate wafer with any of your favourites. For mint chocolate chip ice cream, substitute peppermint extract for vanilla extract.
