Chocolate Cookie Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

CHOCOLATE COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the butter, shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla and salt and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add 1 1/2 cups flour and 3 tablespoons water. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and 3 more tablespoons water and beat until the dough is smooth. (Add 2 to 3 more tablespoons water if the dough seems dry.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough in half. Pat each piece into a flat square on a lightly floured surface, then roll out until to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 2-to-3-inch squares with a paring knife or cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Poke several holes in each cookie with a skewer (to look like a classic ice cream sandwich cookie), then transfer to the freezer until hard, about 10 minutes.
• Bake the cookies until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Sandwich with ice cream and fillings; freeze at least 45 minutes before serving. To store, wrap the ice cream sandwiches individually in plastic wrap and freeze up to 2 days.
• Ice cream and filling combinations:
• Black raspberry ice cream, raspberries and fudge sauce
• Mint chip ice cream and marshmallow cream
• Chocolate ice cream, dulce de leche and fudge sauce
• Vanilla ice cream, fudge sauce and cherry jam

CHOCOLATE COOKIE CHURRO ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Crush 6 of the chocolate sandwich cookies with your hands into a medium bowl. Pour the milk over the cookies. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse the remaining 6 cookies in a food processor until broken into small pieces. Add the cocoa powder and pulse until the cookies are finely ground into a dark powder. Add the flour and pulse until combined. Sift the dry ingredients into a medium bowl; set aside.
• Strain the cookie milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepot (discard the soaked cookie crumbs). Add the butter, salt and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is just below a simmer, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the dry ingredients. Add the eggs one by one, whisking vigorously for 30 seconds after each addition, until a smooth dough comes together. Scrape the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Pipe the dough into 2 1/4-inch rounds starting in the center and moving in a circular motion. Repeat until all of the dough has been piped (about 24 rounds). Place the baking sheets in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
• When ready to cook the churros, pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed saucepot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat the oil over medium heat until the thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a wire cooling rack. Put the sugar in a wide dish.
• Carefully lower the churros a few at a time into the hot oil. Be sure not to crowd the oil or the temperature will drop. Control the heat to maintain 350 degrees F. Fry until the churros rise to the surface of the oil, about 2 minutes. Drain on the prepared cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining churros. Allow the churros to cool slightly.
• Toss the churros in the sugar until completely coated, then tap gently against the side of the dish to remove any excess. Put the churros back on the cooling rack.
• Scoop about 1/4 cup of the ice cream onto 12 of the churros. Top the scoops of ice cream with the remaining churros and gently press down to create sandwiches. Serve immediately.

COOKIES AND CREAM CHURRO ICE CREAM BOWLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Separate the chocolate sandwich cookies from the cream filling into 2 separate medium bowls. Set the cream filling aside.
• Add the cookies and flour to a food processor and pulse until broken down into fine crumbs.
• In a large pot over medium heat, combine the water, butter, and ⅓ cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cookie crumb mixture with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together in a ball.
• Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and stir until completely incorporated and the batter is smooth. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a wide star tip.
• Invert a 12-cup muffin tin and grease generously with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pipe the churro dough in spirals around the inverted cups to form 6 bowls, spacing evenly. Smooth the tops with a spoon or an offset spatula. Transfer the pan to the freezer and freeze until solid, at least 3 hours, or overnight.
• Heat the canola oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and flex it to release the churro bowls. You may need to wiggle a butter knife under the bottom edges to loosen the bowls first.
• Add the remaining cup of sugar to a shallow bowl.
• Working with 1 or 2 bowls at a time (return any remaining bowls to the freezer until ready to fry), fry the churro bowls in the hot oil, turning occasionally for even frying, until fully cooked through, about 4 minutes. Using a spider or slotted spoon, remove the churro bowls from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Dab off any excess oil, then roll in the sugar.
• Make the whipped cream: To the bowl with the reserved cream filling, add a splash of the heavy cream and, with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat until smooth. Gradually add the remaining cream and beat until stiff peaks form, 3-4 minutes.
• Fill the churro bowls with cookies and cream ice cream, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and finish with a dollop of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
