Cookie dough ice cream bar¶
Makes around 7 bars
Ingredients
- ice cream (see, for example Gelato alla Crema)
- 15+ oz chocolate (I used ~60% Valhrona solid chocolate in small pieces)
- 1/2 recipe cookie dough (see Chocolate Chip Cookies)
- (Optional: almond slices)
Note
We have now made ice cream bars twice and both were ok, but not completely successful. The ice cream and cookie dough tasted great. Cutting the ice cream with a big knife worked better than putting it in popsicle molds (some came out, but others broke apart while trying to remove them). The hardest part was dipping the ice cream into the chocolate all at once so extra chocolate would nicely fall off. Both times, the chocolate ended up being too thick. We want to try just melting chocolate and having the nice crunch come from it being frozen instead of being properly tempered since it will make it a lot easier to quickly dip the entire bar in chocolate and have only a thin layer remain on it. The limiting factor for the amount of bars was the chocolate. The ice cream and cookie dough recipes linked here made more ice cream and cookie dough than there was chocolate. Thankfully both are delicious on their own!
