Ice Cream Club Sandwich Food

ICE CREAM CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• Toast the frozen waffles according to package directions and let them cool. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow it to soften a bit. Slice the raspberries in half.
• Spread some ice cream evenly over 2 waffles. Cover 1 with raspberry halves. Press a wafer cookie gently onto the other. Gently press the 2 halves together to form a club sandwich. Put it into the freezer while you make the rest.
• Spread the chocolate chips and sprinkles onto plates. Remove the sandwiches from the freezer. Press 2 edges of each sandwich into the chocolate chips and the other 2 edges into the multi-color sprinkles. Carefully cut them in half using a serrated knife, put them onto plates, and drizzle with the raspberry coulis.
• 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen raspberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• Put the frozen berries, sugar, and lemon juice into a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often to mash the berries, until their juices are released. Press through a sieve to strain out the seeds. Cool and refrigerate. Will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 days.
• Yield: about 1 cup

ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

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.

PHYLLO FETTUCCINE ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Reserve 4 of the best looking strawberries and blueberries. Cut up the rest of the strawberries in large chunks. In a bowl, toss them with the remaining blueberries and 2 tablespoons sugar. Let sit and macerate for 20 minutes for syrup to develop.
• Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
• Remove the phyllo from the box and bag (leave the waxed paper in the center of the roll). Place the roll on a cutting board and slice into 1/4-inch slices.
• Toss the cut phyllo to separate the strips and remove the waxed paper. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and make nests of the strips about 3 inches in diameter. Spatter with clarified butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
• Whip the cream with the brown sugar until very loose.
• To serve, place a phyllo nest on each of 4 dessert plates. Place a spoonful of the berry salad on it. Top it with a scoop of ice cream and another phyllo nest. Place the reserved strawberries and blueberries in long wooden skewers and spear through the middle of the stack. Drizzle some of the brown sugar cream around the stack on the plate and then spoon a little of the strawberry syrup in the cream. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
