Yield Makes 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pint superpremium vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
1 cup finely crushed peppermint hard candies (1/4 lb)
16 chocolate wafers such as Nabisco Famous
Special Equipment
a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop

Steps:

  • Stir together ice cream (reserve pint container), extract, and 1/2 cup crushed candy in a bowl until combined.
  • Transfer mixture to pint container and freeze until just firm enough to scoop, about 1 hour.
  • Working very quickly, scoop ice cream onto flat sides of 8 wafers (1 scoop per wafer), then top with remaining 8 wafers, flat sides down. Wrap each sandwich individually with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Unwrap sandwiches and roll edges in remaining 1/2 cup crushed candy. Rewrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
