Steps:
- Please be aware, you have to place the ice cube right in the chocolate as soon as you're able to remove it from its slot otherwise it will start to melt and the chocolate will not adhere.
- Fill a 12-cup muffin tin with water.
- Place a popsicle stick into each muffin cup.
- Freeze until solid.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, peanut butter, 1½ teaspoons milk, ¼ teaspoon vanilla, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and salt until smooth.
- Fold in ¼ cup (60 ML) of whipped cream with spatula. Set aside.
- Separate the cream from 12 chocolate sandwich cookies into a separate medium bowl.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, remaining 2 teaspoons milk, and remaining ¼ teaspoon vanilla to the bowl with the cream filling. Whisk until well-combined.
- Fold in the remaining cup of whipped cream with a spatula. Set aside.
- Transfer the cookies to a zip-top bag and break into crumbs with a rolling pin. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes, then let sit for 3 minutes, until the pudding thickens.
- Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Give the ice a minute to melt down just enough to remove each ice mold from the muffin cups.
- Dip 4 of the ice discs into the melted milk chocolate, making sure not to fully submerge the ice disc. Set the chocolate-dipped ice discs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Dip 4 of the ice discs in the melted white chocolate, and the remaining 4 discs in the melted dark chocolate.
- Once the chocolate has set, give the ice discs a minute to melt down slightly. Wiggle the ice disc out of the chocolate to reveal hollow chocolate cups.
- Pipe the peanut butter mousse into the milk chocolate cups. Top with chopped nuts and a mini peanut butter cup.
- Sprinkle chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs on the bottom of the white chocolate cups. Pipe the cookie cream filling on top of the crumbs. Garnish with more cookie crumbs and half of a chocolate sandwich cookie.
- Pipe the chocolate pudding mixture into the dark chocolate cups. Top each one with 3 raspberries and fresh mint leaves.
- Enjoy!

WHITE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM
This very rich ice cream, with the lush mouthfeel of white chocolate, may be one of my sweetest recipes. Try serving it with ripe peaches and a drizzle of tarragon oil or basil oil (see page 187). You should be aware that this ice cream can take a long time to freeze in a home ice cream maker, and that it will need to cure in the freezer overnight before serving.

Steps:
- Set up an ice bath in a large bowl. Put the chocolate in a medium bowl.
- Put the milk and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Whisk the eggs with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl. When the milk is simmering, slowly whisk about 1 cup into the eggs for about 1 minute to temper them (keep the pan off the heat while you do this). Then scrape the eggs into the saucepan and cook, stirring pretty much constantly, until the mixture reaches 180°F. Keep an eye on the color of the foam on the surface; when it turns the same color as the mixture, you're very close to the right temperature.
- Strain over the chocolate and leave for about 1 minute. Then mix thoroughly with an immersion blender. Set into the ice bath and chill completely, stirring often.
- Freeze in an ice cream maker, then transfer to a plastic container and freeze overnight before serving.
WHITE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM
Sometimes I'm afraid to admit that I love white chocolate. Purists argue, "It's not real chocolate." Although that may technically be true, who cares? (French fries aren't "real chocolate" either...yet they're pretty darn good.) So I don't compare it to dark chocolate, since it's a whole other ballgame. White chocolate's creamy-smooth, delicate cocoa butter flavor is perfect when melted and stirred into ice cream, and the result makes a truly outstanding dessert when topped with Sour Cherries in Syrup (page 185). And I've yet to come across any chocolate cake that couldn't be improved by a scoop of white chocolate ice cream melting seductively alongside.

Steps:
- Put the chocolate pieces in a large bowl and set a mesh strainer over the top.
- Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
- Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer over the white chocolate. Stir until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, then stir in the cream. Stir until cool over an ice bath.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Make White Chocolate-Cherry Ice Cream by folding very well-drained and coarsely chopped Sour Cherries in Syrup (page 185) or Candied Cherries (page 215) into the just-churned ice cream.
- For Black and White Chocolate Ice Cream, layer one recipe of Fudge Ripple (page 210), Dark Chocolate Truffles (page 211), or Stracciatella (page 210) into the just-churned ice cream.
