Indulge in the rich and creamy delight of caramelized white chocolate ice cream and brownie sandwiches. Combining the sweetness of caramelized white chocolate and the decadence of dark chocolate brownies, this dessert is a perfect treat for any occasion. Here's how you can create this delicious dessert at home using a few simple ingredients.
Instructions:
1. Caramelise the White Chocolate:
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Spread the white chocolate evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then stir with a spatula. Repeat this process every 10 minutes for about 30-40 minutes until the white chocolate has turned a deep golden brown and has a smooth, caramel-like consistency.
- Once caramelised, set aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Ice Cream Mixture:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the caramelised white chocolate, condensed milk, and heavy whipping cream. Blend until smooth and fully incorporated.
3. Freeze the Ice Cream:
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it gently onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
1. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined.
- Stir in the powdered sugar, finely ground almonds, and dry cocoa powder. Mix until you have a smooth, thick batter.
2. Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
1. Cut the Brownies:
- Once the brownies are fully cooled, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut the brownies into squares of the desired size for your sandwiches.
2. Assemble the Ice Cream Sandwiches:
- Once the ice cream is firm, remove it from the freezer.
- Sandwich a scoop of caramelised white chocolate ice cream between two brownie squares.
- Gently press the brownies together to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining brownies and ice cream.
3. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for a firmer sandwich.
Tips:
- Ensure the chocolate is finely chopped for quicker and more uniform melting.
- Caramelize the white chocolate slowly to avoid burning it. Stir frequently and maintain a low heat.
- For an extra crunch, toast the almonds before adding them to the recipe.
- Using room temperature eggs can help achieve a more consistent batter texture.
- Let the brownies cool completely before assembling the sandwiches to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
- Chill the assembled sandwiches briefly in the freezer before serving for a firmer texture.
