Black Raspberry Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

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.

BLACK RASPBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place black raspberries in the bowl of a food processor; puree until smooth. Pour black raspberry puree in a saucepan and simmer over low heat until slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Combine 1 cup cream, milk, and sugar in a 4-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 2 minutes.
• Beat eggs in a bowl and slowly mix half of the hot cream mixture into the eggs without scrambling them. Return entire mixture back to the sauce pan and add remaining 1 cup cream. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
• Combine 1 cup of cream mixture, the black raspberry puree, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend until well-combined. Pour mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture and stir until well combined. Cook and stir until custard has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour mixture into a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag and submerge in the bowl of ice water. Let stand until cool, about 30 minutes, adding more ice if necessary.
• Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to the freezer and freeze until solid.

BLACK AND WHITE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place large scoops of ice cream between cookies or thin brownies and squish the ice cream out to the edges. Roll the ice cream sandwiches in chopped walnuts and serve.

RASPBERRY STRACCIATELLE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring cream and milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. In a bowl, whisk together sugar and yolks until pale and thickened. Slowly whisk in warm cream mixture to sugar and yolks then return to the saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir continuously until mixture is slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Strain mixture into a bowl and place into an ice bath, stirring until cold. Remove from ice bath, whisk in raspberry puree until a pink color is formed and process in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Melt white chocolate in a double boiler. Scrape the ice cream into a large metal bowl. Continuously drizzle in the melted white chocolate while stirring at the same time with a large spatula, until fully incorporated. Cover and place in the freezer until firm.
