9/25 Sandwiches

This week I made two different sandwiches -

#1 A homemade pineapple coconut milk ice cream in a crisp oatmeal coconut bar

#2 Breyers Snickers ice cream inside an almond lace cookie with a thin coating of chocolate.

I keep making lace cookies hoping that they will be a nice thin crisp cookie to hold the ice cream and then they are full of holes and don’t keep the ice cream off your hands so I have to coat them with chocolate which nobody seems to mind. Now after my third attempt at using lace cookies I am finally acknowledging that maybe they are really supposed to be full of holes.

Ice Cream Sandwich first post 9/19/09

The ice cream sandwich this week was complicated - actually too complicated for my taste but it was requested by a very special person so I was happy to acquiesce to her desires for a very specific design and she did love it.

The cookie was a ‘Magic in the Middle’ - a chocolate cookie with a peanut butter filling - the recipe is from King Arthur Flour - www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/magic-in-the-middles-recipe

The Ice cream filling was Dreyers Peanut Butter Cup

The sandwich was dipped half in chocolate and half in melted peanut butter chips.

Although the peanut butter chips are soft at room temperature when I melted them they were not liquid enough to really get a nice smooth thin coating so if I ever use then again I need to work on the chemistry or physics. If anyone reads this blog and can give me some advice it would be appreciated.
