Peanut Butter And Chocolate Sorbet Sandwiches Food

CHOCOLATE CHIP, PB & BANANA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Mix peanut butter, honey and cinnamon; stir in chocolate chips. Spread over bread. Layer 2 bread slices with banana slices; top with remaining bread. If desired, cut into shapes using cookie cutters.

PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE SORBET SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Whisk first 4 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil, whisking frequently. Pour into bowl. Chill until cold. Transfer to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer sorbet to container; mix in peanut butter candies. Freeze overnight.
• Line cookie sheet with foil. Sandwich 1/3 cup sorbet between flat sides of 2 cookies, pressing slightly to bring sorbet to edge of sandwich; smooth sides. Place on cookie sheet and freeze. Repeat with remaining sorbet and cookies. Freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
• Melt chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from over water. Working quickly, roll sides of sandwich in warm chocolate, turning to coat sides only. Roll coated sides in chopped nuts. Return sandwich to same cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, melted chocolate and chopped nuts. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Wrap tightly.)

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER SHEET PAN ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place a rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Generously coat a 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray . Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk together cocoa powder, kosher salt, baking powder, and 1½ cups sugar in a medium bowl. Drizzle in butter; reserve saucepan. Whisk until butter is incorporated, then add vanilla and 2 eggs and whisk until batter is glossy and smooth. Add 1¼ cup flour and whisk until no dry streaks remain.
• Melt remaining ¼ cup (½ stick) butter in reserved saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, add peanut butter, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in remaining 1 egg and ½ cup sugar, then add remaining ½ cup flour and whisk until smooth.
• Pour chocolate batter into prepared pan and, using a rubber spatula or your fingers, smooth into an even layer, spreading all the way to the corners and sides; the batter will be quite thin. Dollop peanut butter batter over chocolate batter and press into an even layer. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
• Bake cookies until top looks dry and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 14-17 minutes (cookies will seem too soft, but they'll firm up as they cool). Let cookies cool in baking sheet, then use a sharp knife to cut into 32 pieces (8 across on long sides and 4 down on short sides). Carefully remove pieces from pan with a thin spatula.
• Meanwhile, line a rimmed 13x9" rimmed baking sheet or baking dish with plastic wrap, layering sheets both lengthwise and crosswise and leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Transfer softened ice cream to prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Fold overhang up and over the top and freeze ice cream until firm, at least 1 hour.
• When you're ready to assemble sandwiches, use plastic overhang to transfer frozen ice cream block to a cutting board. Working quickly, cut into 16 pieces (4 across on long sides and 4 down on short sides-mirroring half of the cookie slicing method above). Sandwich each ice cream rectangle between 2 cookies, arranging cookies top side out and place on a baking sheet. Freeze until firm all the way through, then transfer sandwiches to an airtight container or individually wrap in foil. Keep frozen until ready to serve.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Using a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop the peanut butter into 12 mounds onto a small baking pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are rounded on top and no bigger than the circumference of a quarter. Freeze until frozen solid, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Combine the butter, both sugars, and cocoa powder in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream on low speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stop and scrape the bowl. Whisk the egg with the coffee extract in a small bowl. While the mixer is running on low speed, add the egg mixture and mix just until incorporated. Stop and scrape the bowl.
• Stir together the flour, cornstarch and baking soda in another small bowl. Add it to the stand mixer and mix on low speed until incorporated. Stop and scrape the bowl. Mix briefly until all of the dry ingredients have been fully incorporated. Add the milk and chocolate chips. Mix to combine.
• Scoop the dough into 12 mounds, each 3 tablespoons (1.5 ounces), on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 25 minutes.
• Position racks in the upper and middle thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the cookie dough and peanut butter from the freezer. Flatten 1 of the cookies with the palms of your hands, place 1 mound of peanut butter in the center then wrap the dough around it until fully enclosed in a ball of cookie dough. Repeat with the remaining dough and peanut butter. Please work swiftly before the peanut butter gets soft. If so, return the peanut butter to the freezer.
• Divide the dough among 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper (6 cookies on each). Sprinkle with the fleur de sel.
• Bake on the upper and lower racks for 10 minutes. Rotate the sheet pans and bake 4 to 5 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet pans for 15 minutes.
• Sandwich the cookies with ice cream and serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SHORTBREAD SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Put everything for the shortbread in a food processor with a pinch of salt and pulse until the mixture comes together to form a dough. If it won't come together, take it out of the processor and bring it together with your hands. Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and shape into a log about 5cm in diameter. Wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hr.
• Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 2. Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment. Cut the log into about 32 rounds 6mm thick and line them up on the sheets. Bake for 22-25 mins. Leave to cool a little, then carefully remove and put on a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the buttercream, blitz all the ingredients in a food mixer or beat with an electric whisk, adding enough of the milk to make a soft mixture. Sandwich the shortbread together with the buttercream.
