Graham Cracker Ice Cream Cone Bowls Recipes

GRAHAM CRACKER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine half-and-half and sugar in a large bowl. Split vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape seeds into the bowl, and whisk to combine.
• Pour cream mixture into ice cream maker, and process according to manufacturer's directions. When semi-frozen, sprinkle in the crushed graham crackers. Continue to process until desired consistency is reached.

WAFFLE CONES OR BOWLS

Steps:

• Beat the eggs, adding in the sugar gradually, beating until smooth. Add the cooled melted butter and the vanilla.
• Stir in the baking powder and flour, and blend making a sticky , drop by spoon batter.
• Drop heaping tablespoon onto heated machine maker and close lid and bake. These will only take 30 to 40 seconds to bake each one. Just bake until your desired golden is reached.
• While still warm and before putting on the next one -- either roll into cone shape, place over the back of bowls and press down slightly to shape, or trim with a sharp knife or pizza cutter and make squares. This has to be done quickly as they will crisp up fast.
• After the first one I taste test for the flavour and crispness, then I know if I have to bake longer or not so long.
• Keep in a tight fitting tin. They stay crisp well.

ICE BOWLS

Steps:

• You will also need: 2 nesting bowls, I use the largest I can.
• Place 1/4 cup crushed ice in the bottom of larger bowl.
• Place fruit slice over ice and put another 1/4 cup of ice over that.
• Place nesting bowl inside larger bowl and move to adjust it to the center as closely as you can.
• Put a small bag of frozen peas in smaller bowl.
• Tape the two bowls together in 3 places across the top.
• Add water to level slightly above bottom of inner bowl and freeze.
• Take out of freezer and add more decorations.
• Gently push thin fruit and/or flowers between the bowls.
• Sprinkle crushed ice between bowls to keep in place.
• Add more water and freeze again.
• Keep repeating Steps 8, 9, & 10 until you reach the top.
• After the bowl is frozen solid, remove from freezer and separate ice bowl from two bowls.
• Remove peas and tape and add warm water to smaller bowl, swirling around until bowl is lose enough to lift out.
• Remove smaller bowl and refreeze.
• When frozen solid again, remove bottom bowl in a similar fashion.
• When ice bowl is free, place back in freezer on top of plastic cling wrap, and cover lightly to protect.
• Let bowl freeze overnight or at least an hour before using.
• Place ice cream scoops for people to serve themselves, but keep in freezer until last minute to serve.
• Place bowl on "skid free" mat in a tray with a lip.

GRAHAM CRACKER ICE CREAM CONE BOWLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F.
• In a medium bowl, beat the sugar into the egg until it is pale yellow. Beat in the butter, vanilla, and milk. Gently stir in the graham cracker crumbs and sifted flour.
• Let mixture rest for 10-15 minutes.
• Grease a large cookie non-stick cookie sheet and spread 1 tablespoon of the batter into a 6" circle using a flexible spatula. The batter will spread about 1/2" while baking, so keep the circles 1" apart.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the cookie sheet using a large metal spatula. Remove 1 cookie at a time. Immediately place on a small overturned bowl or a small glass gently coaxing the cookie into a bowl shape. You will need 6 or 8 of these, one for each cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies. The cookies will harden as they cool, so work as quickly as possible. Let the cookie sheet cool and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Remove the cookie from the overturned bowl when cooled.
