Hey did you know it is National Ice Cream Month? I did. How can I not know about anything doing with ice cream? I love it!
We just moved into a new house and I cannot find my ice cream maker and I am sad about that. I wanted to make ice cream this summer. If I find it soon, I will be making lots and lots of ice cream in honor of National Ice Cream Month! A recipe I want to try is these delicious Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches. Not only do you get ice cream but cookies! Yummo!
Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ice Cream
(Yield 1½ Quarts)
Ingredients
1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and washed
¾ cup sugar
2 teaspoons Nielsen-Massey Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract
¼ teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Lemon Extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
Directions
In a 4 quart glass measuring cup, add berries, sugar, vanilla and lemon extracts, and salt. Smash with a potato masher; stir in cream and milk; set aside.
Assemble ice cream maker. Turn ice cream maker on and pour ice cream mixture into *frozen container. Let mix until ice cream thickens, about 20 minutes.
Transfer ice cream into an airtight container; freeze for several hours, or for a firmer ice cream, freeze overnight. Scoop ice cream, place between 2 cookies and gently press.
Or, for a perfect ice cream round; line a 9x13-inch pan with foil then evenly spread ice cream with a rubber spatula; cover and freeze overnight. Then use a cookie cutter to cut desired diameter of ice cream rounds and place between 2 cookies.
*Follow manufacturer's directions for freezing container, 24 hours or longer is ideal.
*Recipe courtesy of Nielsen-Massey Vanillas
Here are some tips to make your ice cream sandwiches better!
• Dress it up: Roll the sides of finished ice cream sandwiches in mini chocolate chips, mini M&Ms, sprinkles, toasted coconut or nuts to add color and texture.
• Take a shortcut: If you are short on time, purchase bakery cookies to use with the homemade strawberry ice cream recipe, below, to build your own ice cream sandwiches.
• Chill out: Keeping your homemade ice cream cold is the secret to a sandwich that won’t fall apart or get soggy. Take the time to re-freeze ice cream between steps - your patience will be rewarded with perfect sandwiches every time.
• Keep them fresh: Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap immediately after building each sandwich. Keep them in the freezer until just before serving.
