Caramel Coffee Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

CARAMEL & COFFEE ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix the chocolate coffee beans into the softened ice cream until combined, then transfer to a small loaf tin and freeze for a few hours or until solid.
• Use cookie cutters to cut the ice cream to the same size as the waffles, then sandwich between two waffles.

COFFEE CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Leave the ice cream at room temperature for about 15 minutes, until it's soft enough to scoop but not melted. Place 4 cookies, flat sides up, on a cutting board and, using a 2 1/2-inch standard ice cream scoop, put one round scoop of ice cream on each cookie. Place 4 more cookies, flat sides down, on top of each scoop of ice cream and press lightly until the ice cream is at the edge of the cookies.
• Put the toffee bits on a small plate and, working quickly, roll the edge of the sandwiches in the toffee bits, using your hand to fill in the spaces with toffee. Place the sandwiches immediately in the freezer and freeze until firm. Wrap well and keep frozen until ready to serve.

COFFEE CARAMEL SWIRL ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Make caramel swirl:
• In a 3-quart heavy saucepan boil sugar, corn syrup, water, and a pinch salt over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Boil mixture, without stirring, gently swirling pan, until a deep golden caramel. Remove pan from heat and carefully pour cream and vanilla down side of pan (mixture will vigorously steam and caramel will harden). Simmer mixture, stirring, until caramel is dissolved. Remove pan from heat and cool caramel. Caramel swirl may be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered. Bring caramel swirl to room temperature before using. (If caramel swirl is too stiff to pour, heat slightly.)
• Make custard:
• In a dry 5-quart heavy kettle cook sugar over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork (to help sugar melt evenly), until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel, without stirring, gently swirling kettle, until deep golden. Remove kettle from heat and carefully pour cream and milk down side of kettle (mixture will vigorously steam and caramel will harden). Simmer mixture, stirring, until caramel is dissolved.
• In a large bowl lightly beat eggs. Add hot cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking, and pour into kettle. Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until a thermometer registers 170°F. (Do not let boil.) Whisk in espresso powder and vanilla until espresso powder is dissolved. Pour custard through a fine sieve into another large bowl and cool. Chill custard, its surface covered with wax paper, until cold, at least 3 hours, and up to 2 days.
• Freeze custard in an ice-cream maker, in 2 batches if necessary. Transfer one third ice cream to a 2-quart airtight container and drizzle one third caramel swirl over it. Repeat layering with remaining ice cream and caramel swirl. Freeze ice cream until hard, at least 8 hours, and up to 1 week.

BROWNIE ICE-CREAM SANDWICHES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water melt the chocolate and the butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth, and let the mixture cool. Beat in the egg, the brown sugar,and the vanilla and stir in the flour, the cinnamon,and the salt. Divide the mixture into 16 mounds, abut 3 inches apart, on buttered baking sheets and bake the brownies in the middle of a preheated 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are just firm. (They will flatten into disks.) transfer the brownies with a spatula to racks to cool and freeze them for 30 minutes, or until they are very firm.
• Divide the ice cream, softened, among the flat sides of 8 of the brownies, spreading it smooth, and top the ice cream with the remaining brownies, flat sides down. Freeze the ice-cream sandwiches, covered, for at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve the ice-cream sandwiches drizzled with the caramel sauce.
