Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pint coffee chocolate chip gelato or ice cream, such as Talenti
8 crisp chocolate chip cookies, such as Tate's
1/2 cup Heath English Toffee Bits

Steps:

Leave the ice cream at room temperature for about 15 minutes, until it's soft enough to scoop but not melted. Place 4 cookies, flat sides up, on a cutting board and, using a 2 1/2-inch standard ice cream scoop, put one round scoop of ice cream on each cookie. Place 4 more cookies, flat sides down, on top of each scoop of ice cream and press lightly until the ice cream is at the edge of the cookies.
Put the toffee bits on a small plate and, working quickly, roll the edge of the sandwiches in the toffee bits, using your hand to fill in the spaces with toffee. Place the sandwiches immediately in the freezer and freeze until firm. Wrap well and keep frozen until ready to serve.

Dark Chocolate and Cardamom Ice Cream image

Provided by Micah Carr-Hill

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 1/2 oz dark (70% cocoa solids) chocolate
Seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean
2 cardamom pods
3/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup superfine sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water.
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the back of a knife. Then crush the cardamom pods with the flat of the blade of the knife.
Place the milk in a separate pan and heat to just under boiling point, then add the sugar, vanilla seeds, and cardamom pods. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Using a strainer to catch the crushed cardamom pods, pour the milk into the melted chocolate and stir. Add the cream, stir well, and leave to cool at room temperature.
Once cool, pour into an ice-cream maker and churn following the manufacturer's instructions. Keep in the freezer until required.
