Raspberry Ice Cream With Chocolate Food

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND RASPBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat milk, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolks and about 1 cup warm milk mixture in a bowl; stir egg mixture into saucepan. Continue to cook and stir until custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove vanilla bean. Stir white chocolate chips into custard until melted. Pour custard into a large bowl and stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency.
• Heat raspberries in a saucepan over medium heat until raspberries begin to fall apart, 7 to 10 minutes. Press raspberries through a sieve over a bowl to remove the seeds; discard seeds.
• Gently swirl raspberries into the soft ice cream creating ribbons of raspberries. Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the ice cream: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap. Spoon the ice cream into a large bowl, then add the preserves. Mix the preserves into the ice cream, leaving it somewhat swirled if possible. Spread the ice cream evenly in the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until very firm, at least 3 hours.
• For the cookies: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• Beat together the sugar and butter in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture a little at a time, beating until incorporated; knead with your hands a few times to mix in the remaining flour and bring everything together.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured piece of parchment. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out to a 1/4-inch-thick circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Cut out as many 3 1/2-inch rounds as possible. Gather the scraps and cut out more rounds. Repeat until you have 12 rounds.
• Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 1/2 inch apart. Bake until just set on top, about 8 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets on a rack.
• Assemble the cookies: Working quickly, remove the plastic wrap from the ice cream and use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out a round of ice cream (lift the plastic wrap from the bottom to help you lift out the round). Sandwich the ice cream between 2 cookies. Sprinkle on red and blue sprinkles along part of the sides and immediately transfer the ice cream sandwich to a plate in the freezer. Repeat with the remaining cookies to make 6 ice cream sandwiches. (The ice cream scraps can be gathered and kept frozen in an airtight container). Freeze the sandwiches until firm enough to serve, 3 to 4 hours.

CHOCOLATE-FLAKE RASPBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Make the chocolate flake and topping: Mix together the chocolate and oil in a heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of simmering water. Gently heat and stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is glossy and smooth. Set aside 1/2 cup to use as the flake and the rest for the topping. You can make the flake and topping up to 5 days ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Warm to melt before using.
• Make the ice cream: Working with a stand or immersion blender, blend all the ingredients, scraping the container occasionally, until smooth. (Pay attention to the powdered milk; it has a pesky way of clumping.) Cover, and refrigerate the mixture for up to 1 day, or churn right away. When you're ready, pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Just before the ice cream is ready, open the top of the machine and, with the blade spinning, gradually drizzle in the reserved 1/2 cup of warmed chocolate flake. Churn for another 1 or 2 minutes to fully incorporate the flakes. Pack the ice cream into a container, cover and freeze for at least 6 hours before serving.
• Once the ice cream is ready to serve, take the container out 5 minutes before scooping. (Its texture is best after it's had a few minutes on the counter.) Rewarm the remaining chocolate topping, and pour it over the individual servings of ice cream. It will immediately harden into a chocolate shell.

• Tip the remaining raspberries into the base of the lined tin. Cover with a third of the cream mixture, spreading it out evenly. Tap the tin down on a surface so that the mixture covers the raspberries. Using a spoon, drizzle over half of the melted chocolate to cover the cream. Top with another third of the cream mixture and spread it out. Drizzle over the remaining chocolate and top with the remaining cream.
• Use the overhanging parchment to cover the top of the tin, using more parchment if it doesn't cover the terrine completely, and freeze for at least 8 hrs, or overnight. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 mins. Tip upside down and remove from the tin, and drizzle with a little more melted chocolate to decorate.
