Tiny Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

COOKIE LOVER'S ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Coat a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Heat the milk in the microwave until steaming, 30 to 45 seconds. Put the cocoa powder in a large bowl; pour the hot milk on top and whisk to combine. Let the cocoa steep, about 5 minutes.
• Add the egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, the vegetable oil, vanilla and espresso powder to the cocoa mixture; whisk to combine. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt; whisk to combine.
• Combine the egg whites and cream of tartar in a separate large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the speed to medium high and beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Whisk one-third of the egg white mixture into the batter to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture in 2 batches until fully combined and there are no white streaks remaining.
• Scrape the batter onto the baking sheet; spread evenly to the edges. Bake until the cake just springs back to the touch and no longer looks wet in the center, 12 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let the cake cool 10 minutes in the pan, then invert onto the rack and carefully peel off the parchment. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer the cake to a cutting board, cut in half crosswise and lightly wrap each half in plastic wrap. Freeze the cake halves until almost frozen and firm, about 2 hours.
• In the last 15 to 30 minutes of freezing the cakes, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let soften until spreadable but not melted. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving a 6-inch overhang on the sides. Unwrap the cake halves; place 1 cake half in the bottom of the dish. Scoop the cookie dough ice cream all over the cake and spread into an even layer with an offset spatula, leaving a 1/8-inch border of cake. Top with the cookies-and-cream ice cream and spread into an even layer. Top with the remaining cake half and gently press down. Wrap tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap. Freeze the cake in the baking dish until the ice cream is firm (the cake will stay soft), at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Lift the whole sandwich from the baking dish and remove the plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, trim the edges, then cut into pieces.

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.

TINY ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment, and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Beat together the sugar, butter and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg, and beat until combined. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour mixture and then the milk, and beat until just combined. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Scoop teaspoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Moisten your hands, roll each mound into a ball and return it to the baking sheets. Bake until the tops of the cookies bounce back when gently touched, 7 to 8 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Put the chocolate chips on a small plate.
• Scoop tablespoonfuls of ice cream onto the flat bottom of half the cookies, then sandwich with the remaining cookies. Roll the sides of each cookie in chocolate chips. Freeze until set, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Lay 12 pizzelle cookies on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 3 to 4 tablespoons softened ice cream on each pizzelle.

EASY ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, butter, vanilla extract, eggs, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips. Roll dough into 2-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Do not overbake; the cookies should be set, but still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.
• Using an ice cream scoop, mold the softened ice cream into a ball about the size of the cookies. Place scoop of ice cream between two cookies and gently press together. If you like a smooth edge, run the back of a spoon around the edge of the ice cream sandwich. Working quickly, fill all of the cookies, lay out on a baking sheet, and place in the freezer to harden. Serve when the ice cream has frozen solid. Sandwich cookies can be stored in a freezer bag for up to two weeks.
