CHOCOLATE, CANDY, AND CARAMEL ICE CREAM SANDWICH RECIPE

Steps:

• Let the vanilla ice cream soften, then scoop it into an 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper. Spread the ice cream smooth and put it in the freezer to freeze solid, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cream 3/4 cup butter, light brown sugar, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. together until they're light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix again. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 teaspoon of salt, flour, cocoa, and baking soda until evenly combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture and mix until just combined. Don't over-mix.
• Spread the batter into a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
• Now for the caramel sauce. Pour 1 and 1/2 cup sugar into a dry, clean saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until fully caramelized. It'll get a bit dark. Swirl to stir. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of butter cut into small pieces a little at a time, and swirl to combine. Add the heavy cream and 1 teaspoon salt. Give it another swirl. Set it aside to fully cool. Feel free to pop it into the fridge or even freezer (once it's already cooled some) if need be.
• Take the ice cream layer out of the freezer. Pour the caramel over the top and top with candy. Press down on the candy slightly. Put it back into the freezer to again freeze solid, at least 2-3 hours, but preferably overnight.
• Take the ice cream, caramel, and candy layer out of the freezer and lift (by the overhanging parchment paper) out of the pan. Use the bottom of the pan to measure and trim the cookie layers so they're the same size. Put a fresh piece of parchment in the pan and place one of the cookie pieces on top of that.
• Peel the parchment layer off of the ice cream. Place the ice cream, caramel, and candy layer in the pan on top of the bottom cookie. Add the remaining cookie layer and press down gently.
• Put the giant ice cream sandwich back into the freezer to freeze solid, at least 1 full hour, but preferably longer.
• Take it out of the freezer, lift it out of the pan (using your best friend, the overhanging parchment paper), and, using a sharp knife, cut into individual ice cream sandwiches. Share them with everyone you know or keep them all for yourself, I won't tell.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the short sides.
• Prepare the cake mix with an extra egg. Divide the batter between the 2 baking sheets; spread evenly with an offset spatula. Bake until set, 8 to 9 minutes; let cool.
• Measure 2 1/2 inches in from each long side of one cake; mark with toothpicks. Score using a ruler, then remove the toothpicks and trim along the scored lines so the cake is 7 inches wide.
• Round the corners of the cake with a knife. Punch out holes with a straw (4 holes across, 10 down). Trim the other cake (no need to punch holes). Freeze the cakes 30 minutes.
• Invert the cake without the holes onto a clean baking sheet; peel off the parchment. Snip open 1 ice cream carton with kitchen shears, then slide the ice cream onto the cake.
• Repeat with the other 2 cartons of ice cream, arranging them side by side on the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and press with your hands to smooth the ice cream and fill the gaps.

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.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL TART

Steps:

• Prepare chocolate dough: In bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, confectioners' sugar and cocoa. Beat until smooth. Add egg yolk and vanilla, and beat until blended.
• Sift flour into dough mixture. Beat on low speed until combined. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch tart pan. (You can use a 9-inch pan, but the crust will be thicker and the caramel may take longer to set in step 4.)
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line tart with foil, and fill with dried beans, rice or pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and weights, and bake until pastry is dry and set, another 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Prepare caramel filling: In a large saucepan, bring sugar, water and corn syrup to a boil. Stir or swirl the pan occasionally, until mixture is a medium amber color, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Caramel will continue to cook and darken off of the heat. Carefully but quickly whisk in the butter, cream, creme fraiche and salt until smooth (mixture will bubble up). Pour hot caramel into tart, and allow to cool and set, at least 1 hour.
• Prepare chocolate glaze: Place chocolate in a bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Pour hot cream over chocolate and whisk until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth. Pour glaze over tart, tilting tart for even coverage. Refrigerate until tart is set, at least one hour, then sprinkle with a few granules of fleur de sel. Keep refrigerated until serving.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER SHEET PAN ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place a rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Generously coat a 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray . Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk together cocoa powder, kosher salt, baking powder, and 1½ cups sugar in a medium bowl. Drizzle in butter; reserve saucepan. Whisk until butter is incorporated, then add vanilla and 2 eggs and whisk until batter is glossy and smooth. Add 1¼ cup flour and whisk until no dry streaks remain.
• Melt remaining ¼ cup (½ stick) butter in reserved saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, add peanut butter, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in remaining 1 egg and ½ cup sugar, then add remaining ½ cup flour and whisk until smooth.
• Pour chocolate batter into prepared pan and, using a rubber spatula or your fingers, smooth into an even layer, spreading all the way to the corners and sides; the batter will be quite thin. Dollop peanut butter batter over chocolate batter and press into an even layer. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
• Bake cookies until top looks dry and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 14-17 minutes (cookies will seem too soft, but they'll firm up as they cool). Let cookies cool in baking sheet, then use a sharp knife to cut into 32 pieces (8 across on long sides and 4 down on short sides). Carefully remove pieces from pan with a thin spatula.
• Meanwhile, line a rimmed 13x9" rimmed baking sheet or baking dish with plastic wrap, layering sheets both lengthwise and crosswise and leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Transfer softened ice cream to prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Fold overhang up and over the top and freeze ice cream until firm, at least 1 hour.
• When you're ready to assemble sandwiches, use plastic overhang to transfer frozen ice cream block to a cutting board. Working quickly, cut into 16 pieces (4 across on long sides and 4 down on short sides-mirroring half of the cookie slicing method above). Sandwich each ice cream rectangle between 2 cookies, arranging cookies top side out and place on a baking sheet. Freeze until firm all the way through, then transfer sandwiches to an airtight container or individually wrap in foil. Keep frozen until ready to serve.
