BROWNIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with foil, leaving a small overhang on all sides. Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, all the way to the edges.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean with a few crumbs, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool about 30 minutes in the pan, then freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
• Invert the brownies onto a cutting board and remove the baking sheet. Peel off the foil and use it to reline the baking sheet. Trim about ¼ inch from all four sides of the brownies. Cut the brownies in half crosswise. Lay one half on the prepared pan. Working quickly, scoop all the ice cream on top of it and spread evenly with an offset spatula all the way to the edges. Place the other brownie half on top and press down gently; smooth the sides with the offset spatula. Wrap the foil around the brownie sandwich and freeze until hardened, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Cut the brownie sandwich in half lengthwise, then crosswise into sixths. Press the sides of each sandwich into the nonpareils. Freeze until ready to serve.

SALTINE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang. Line the pan with 16 saltine crackers. Prepare an 18-ounce box dark chocolate brownie mix as the label directs; spread the batter over the crackers. Bake as directed; let cool. Top with 1/2 gallon softened ice cream and 16 more saltines. Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove from the pan using the parchment overhang and slice between the saltines.

BROWNIE ICE-CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Line one 20x30cm (8x12-inch) tin with cling film.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla using an electric hand-held whisk until the mixture thickens and holds its shape when you take the whisk out. Put the cookies into a plastic bag and bash them with a rolling pin to make crumbs. If you want larger chunks, you could crumble them by hand. Fold the cookie crumbs into the ice-cream mixture, then scrape into the prepared tin. Use a spatula to smooth it out, then freeze for at least two hours or until firm.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Make My Favorite Brownie recipe up to step 4, but don't put the mixture in the tin yet.
• Divide the brownie mixture between two lined 20x30cm (8x12-inch) brownie tins (or use one and bake two batches) and use a spatula to spread the batter right into the edges. It will be very thin, as these will be your sandwich layers. Bake each tray for ten minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to cool completely in the tin.
• Remove the brownie layers from the tins and re-line one of the tins with another sheet of baking parchment. Put one brownie layer into the tin, then press the ice-cream layer on the top of it. Add the final layer then return to the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
• Remove the ice-cream sandwich slab from the freezer about ten minutes before serving. Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut shapes-I like the effect of a circular cutter.

SALTINE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven according to the brownie mix instructions. Line the bottom of a straight-sided 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper that overhangs 2 sides.
• Line the bottom of the pan with 16 saltines. Combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl and mix well. Pour over the crackers. Bake according to the package directions, or about 35 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Soften the ice cream to spreading consistency and pour over the brownie layer; spread evenly. Place 16 crackers on top of the ice cream and freeze at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Remove from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into 16 pieces with a chef's knife, placing the knife between the saltine crackers.
