TROPICAL ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make 8 sandwiches, using 2 slices of pound cake and 1/4 cup softened mango sorbet each. Wrap each sandwich tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze for 2 hours.
• Dissolve sweetener in lime juice and coconut milk; toss with blueberries, mango, strawberries, and peach slices.
• To serve, unwrap the sandwiches and place each onto a dessert plate. Top with a mound of fruit and garnish with whipped cream and a mint sprig.

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.

TROPICAL LIME ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Stir the milk, cream, and sugar together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
• Add the lime zest and juice and stir to mix. (It does not curdle.).
• Freeze, as directed, in an ice cream machine.

TROPICAL ICE CREAM (KIWI, STRAWBERRIES, AND COCONUT)

Steps:

• Add the kiwis and strawberries to a bowl along with 1/4 cup of the sugar. Toss until the sugar begins to dissolve. Let sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes while you prepare the custard.
• Shake the coconut milk can thoroughly. In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, half-and-half, remaining sugar, and vanilla bean with pulp. Bring to a simmer.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Add 1 cup of the hot liquid to the egg yolks in a slow stream, gradually whisking to combine, until smooth.
• Add the yolk mixture to the saucepan of liquid and whisk until incorporated. Bring the liquid back to simmer and continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
• Pour the mixture into a bowl using a strainer to remove the vanilla bean pieces, and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the mixture. This will prevent a skin from forming while cooling.
• Use food processor to pulse the strawberries to a rough chop, then stir in the strawberries.
• Cool the mixture completely. Process the mixture according the ice cream machines instructions.
