Black And White Peanut Ice Cream Bar Recipes

Steps:

• Place a rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Generously coat a 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray . Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk together cocoa powder, kosher salt, baking powder, and 1½ cups sugar in a medium bowl. Drizzle in butter; reserve saucepan. Whisk until butter is incorporated, then add vanilla and 2 eggs and whisk until batter is glossy and smooth. Add 1¼ cup flour and whisk until no dry streaks remain.
• Melt remaining ¼ cup (½ stick) butter in reserved saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, add peanut butter, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in remaining 1 egg and ½ cup sugar, then add remaining ½ cup flour and whisk until smooth.
• Pour chocolate batter into prepared pan and, using a rubber spatula or your fingers, smooth into an even layer, spreading all the way to the corners and sides; the batter will be quite thin. Dollop peanut butter batter over chocolate batter and press into an even layer. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
• Bake cookies until top looks dry and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 14-17 minutes (cookies will seem too soft, but they'll firm up as they cool). Let cookies cool in baking sheet, then use a sharp knife to cut into 32 pieces (8 across on long sides and 4 down on short sides). Carefully remove pieces from pan with a thin spatula.
• Meanwhile, line a rimmed 13x9" rimmed baking sheet or baking dish with plastic wrap, layering sheets both lengthwise and crosswise and leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Transfer softened ice cream to prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Fold overhang up and over the top and freeze ice cream until firm, at least 1 hour.
• When you're ready to assemble sandwiches, use plastic overhang to transfer frozen ice cream block to a cutting board. Working quickly, cut into 16 pieces (4 across on long sides and 4 down on short sides-mirroring half of the cookie slicing method above). Sandwich each ice cream rectangle between 2 cookies, arranging cookies top side out and place on a baking sheet. Freeze until firm all the way through, then transfer sandwiches to an airtight container or individually wrap in foil. Keep frozen until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, light cream, half-and-half and black walnut extract. Pour into the container of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. When ice cream is done, fold in walnuts, and transfer to a freezer container. Freeze until solid.

Steps:

• Combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in an ice cream maker. Stir until sugar dissolves. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches soft-serve consistency, adding peanut butter cups halfway through freezing cycle.
• Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10-by-13-inch pan with parchment paper. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil; turn off. Combine 1 1/2 sticks of butter and 6 ounces of chocolate in a small heat-proof bowl; set over saucepan. Let stand, stirring occasionally until chocolate is melted and smooth.
• Whisk the eggs together in a large bowl; add salt, sugars, and vanilla, and stir to combine. Stir in the butter-and-chocolate mixture, then fold in flour. Pour the batter into prepared pan, spread evenly, and place in oven to bake until top is shiny, about 20 minutes. Do not overbake; a cake tester should not come out clean.
• Set the brownie aside; let it cool completely. Store in an airtight container overnight. The next day, loosen corners of brownie. Lift it from pan, keeping brownie intact. Invert onto a cutting board, and peel off parchment. Trim about 1/4 inch from each edge.
• Place a fresh piece of parchment in baking pan, allowing excess to stick out over the edges of pan. Return brownie to pan, top-side up, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, working quickly, scoop half of the ice cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat the ice cream until soft and smooth but not melted. Using a rubber spatula, transfer the ice cream to brownie pan, and spread, creating an even layer. Place the pan in freezer to chill. Repeat with the remaining 2 pints of ice cream, adding a second layer to the brownie, and return pan to freezer. Let chill until very hard, at least 1 hour (overnight produces the best result).
• Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Place the remaining chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter in metal bowl; set over water. Using metal spoon, stir until melted and smooth.
• Remove pan from freezer. Place a cooling rack over a baking sheet, and set aside. Using edges of parchment paper, lift brownie and ice cream out of pan, and transfer to a cutting board. Working quickly and using a sharp hot knife, trim outside edges to even them, wasting as little of the ice cream and brownie as possible. Use hot knife to cut brownie into twelve 2 1/4-by-4 1/4-inch rectangles, and transfer each rectangle to cooling rack.
• Remove bowl of chocolate from saucepan, wiping bottom until dry. Fill a 1/2-cup ladle with melted chocolate; carefully ladle chocolate over each bar, working from front to back. Cover as much of the ice cream as you can. Work quickly; do not worry if some ice cream shows. Return rack and baking sheet to freezer. Let stand until chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes. Serve, or store in freezer up to 1 week.
