Ice Cream Sandwiches With Raspberry Frozen Yogurt Food

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.

FRUITY FROZEN YOGURT ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Place half of the mixture into another medium bowl. Using whisk, beat blueberry yogurt into 1 bowl and peach yogurt into the other. Gently spoon and spread peach yogurt mixture over blueberry yogurt mixture in bowl. Freeze about 1 hour or until slightly firm.
• Remove from freezer. Using ice cream scoop, scoop yogurt from bowl, capturing both flavors. Place 1 scoop of swirled yogurt on chocolate side of one granola thin. Place another granola thin on top, chocolate side down. Press together slightly. Wrap individually in foil, and freeze at least 2 hours until firm.
• Before serving, let stand 10 minutes at room temperature.

NO-CHURN RASPBERRY FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving overhang on all sides. In a food processor, blend raspberries, condensed milk, and yogurt until smooth; transfer to prepared pan. Freeze, covered, until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 1 week.
• Lift mixture out of pan using plastic; cut into 1-inch pieces. Return to food processor and blend, scraping down sides as needed, until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Return to pan; freeze until scoopable, about 20 minutes. Serve with whipped cream and blueberries.

ICE CREAM SANDWICHES WITH RASPBERRY FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Make frozen yogurt: In a blender, combine raspberries and superfine sugar and blend until smooth. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids. Whisk in yogurt. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer mixture to an airtight container and freeze 2 hours (or up to 1 month).
• Make cookies: In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, starches, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar on high until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and egg yolk and beat until combined, scraping down bowl as needed, 1 minute. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture and beat until dough comes together (dough will be sticky). Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 1/4-inch-thick round. With a 2 1/2-inch fluted cookie cutter, cut dough into 24 rounds and place on two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets (reroll scraps if necessary). Freeze 15 minutes, then bake until cookies are lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks, 20 minutes. (To store, transfer to an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.) To serve, transfer frozen yogurt to refrigerator to soften, 20 minutes. Scoop 1/4 cup frozen yogurt onto flat sides of 12 cookies and sandwich with remaining cookies.
