GINGER PEACH ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Set up grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (no heat source directly under cookies).
• Soften ice cream on the counter for 10 minutes. Scoop large balls of ice cream onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart. Top the scoops with another piece of parchment. Gently flatten the scoops into 2-inch disks about 1-inch thick. Put the baking sheet in the freezer to harden while making the cookies.
• In a mixing bowl, combine rest of the ingredients. Stir to form dough. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto foil baking sheet. Place foil baking sheet on another foil baking sheet (for stability and insulation) and set on grill away from heat. Cover grill and cook 12 to 16 minutes or until just baked and browned.
• Remove from grill and let cool to room temperature.
• Sandwich the ice cream disk between to cookies and wrap in parchment or waxed paper until ready to serve.
• INDOOR: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare cookies as directed and drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 14 minutes. Cool for 1 minute on cookie sheet before transferring to wire rack. Cool cookie completely, and then freeze for a minimum of 1 hour before completing ice cream sandwiches as directed.

PEACH ICE CREAM FOR GINGER CRISP ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Place peaches in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon, and cool in ice-water bath.
• Peel and pit peaches, reserving skin and pits. Slice each peach into 10 wedges, place in a nonreactive saucepan, and stir in lemon juice and 2 tablespoons sugar. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until peaches are tender and liquid has thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
• Stir peach schnapps into peach mixture. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse to a chunky puree, 10 to 15 pulses; set aside.
• In a large saucepan set over high heat, bring milk, cream, peach skins, and pits to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low; simmer 5 minutes. Cover, and let stand 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine egg yolks, salt, remaining sugar, and vanilla. Beat at medium-high speed until mixture is thick and pale yellow, about 3 minutes.
• Strain milk mixture into egg mixture; discard solids. Beat at low speed to combine. Cook over low heat, stirring, until mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Pass through a sieve into a bowl set in ice-water bath. When chilled, stir in peach puree. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, in 2 batches if necessary. Store in an airtight plastic container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
