Phyllo Fettuccine Ice Cream Sandwich 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.

GIANT ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the short sides.
• Prepare the cake mix with an extra egg. Divide the batter between the 2 baking sheets; spread evenly with an offset spatula. Bake until set, 8 to 9 minutes; let cool.
• Measure 2 1/2 inches in from each long side of one cake; mark with toothpicks. Score using a ruler, then remove the toothpicks and trim along the scored lines so the cake is 7 inches wide.
• Round the corners of the cake with a knife. Punch out holes with a straw (4 holes across, 10 down). Trim the other cake (no need to punch holes). Freeze the cakes 30 minutes.
• Invert the cake without the holes onto a clean baking sheet; peel off the parchment. Snip open 1 ice cream carton with kitchen shears, then slide the ice cream onto the cake.
• Repeat with the other 2 cartons of ice cream, arranging them side by side on the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and press with your hands to smooth the ice cream and fill the gaps.
• Remove the other cake from the parchment with a thin spatula; place it on the ice cream. Trim any excess cake and smooth the sides. Freeze at least 2 hours before serving.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a 5-quart mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa. Using the paddle attachment, add the butter and mix just until combined. Incorporate the corn syrup and eggs. Add the milk chocolate and mix just until blended.
• Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm. Using a 1 1/2-ounce scoop, portion the dough onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
• Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool and freeze the cookies.
• Fill the cookies with ice cream and serve immediately.

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.
