Raspberry Orange Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• For the ice cream: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap. Spoon the ice cream into a large bowl, then add the preserves. Mix the preserves into the ice cream, leaving it somewhat swirled if possible. Spread the ice cream evenly in the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until very firm, at least 3 hours.
• For the cookies: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• Beat together the sugar and butter in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture a little at a time, beating until incorporated; knead with your hands a few times to mix in the remaining flour and bring everything together.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured piece of parchment. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out to a 1/4-inch-thick circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Cut out as many 3 1/2-inch rounds as possible. Gather the scraps and cut out more rounds. Repeat until you have 12 rounds.
• Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 1/2 inch apart. Bake until just set on top, about 8 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets on a rack.
• Assemble the cookies: Working quickly, remove the plastic wrap from the ice cream and use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out a round of ice cream (lift the plastic wrap from the bottom to help you lift out the round). Sandwich the ice cream between 2 cookies. Sprinkle on red and blue sprinkles along part of the sides and immediately transfer the ice cream sandwich to a plate in the freezer. Repeat with the remaining cookies to make 6 ice cream sandwiches. (The ice cream scraps can be gathered and kept frozen in an airtight container). Freeze the sandwiches until firm enough to serve, 3 to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Place a 9-by-13-inch pan in the freezer.
• Add the raspberries, orange juice and sugar to a blender and blend until smooth. Using a sieve, strain the mixture into a bowl and discard the seeds. Return the fruit puree to the blender, add the ice and blend until smooth again. Pour into the chilled pan and transfer to the freezer.
• After 20 minutes, scrape the pan with a fork to create a slushy consistency. Return to the freezer for an additional 20 minutes. Scoop and serve with a few raspberries.

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Mix in sugar, cream, and flour, then almonds. Stir until batter thickens, bubbles at edges, and leaves dry path when spoon is drawn through, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Drop 1 rounded teaspoonful batter for each cookie (about 24 total) onto prepared sheets, spacing mounds 2 to 3 inches apart.
• Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until golden brown, turning sheet after 8 minutes, about 16 minutes total. Cool cookies completely on sheets.
• Do ahead: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
• Soften ice cream slightly in microwave at 10-second intervals on very low setting. Place 6 cookies, flat side up, on work surface. Mound 1/4 cup ice cream onto each; flatten gently with spatula. Top with another cookie, flat side down, and press very gently to adhere. Place sandwiches on baking sheet, cover with foil, and freeze at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Combine raspberries, orange juice and sugar in saucepan.
• Bring to boil, stirring constantly.
• Dissolve constarach in water.
• Add to pan and cook stirring for 2 minutes.
• Chill sauce until cold, about 15 minutes.
