Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe 455

Steps:

• Using a serrated knife, cut the pint of ice cream crosswise into 3 equal discs.
• Lay out 3 sugar cookies and place a pint slice on top of each. Place another sugar cookie on top of each sandwich. Remove the ice cream packaging.
• Freeze for 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the graham crackers and freeze-dried strawberries until thoroughly mixed.
• In a liquid measuring cup or deep, microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the white chocolate is silky smooth. Let the white chocolate cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the ice cream sandwiches from the freezer and dip half of each sandwich into the white chocolate, then roll the dipped side in the graham cracker and strawberry mixture until fully covered.
• Freeze for 30 minutes more before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• For the crust: Line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• To a 12- to 14-cup food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the sandwich cookies, slightly breaking them up as you add them. Process until the cookies are completely broken up. While the machine is running, slowly stream in the melted butter. The mixture should now resemble wet sand and should hold together when pressed in your hands. Add the mixture to the prepared pan and evenly spread all over the base and about 1/2 inch up the sides. Place the crust in the freezer for 30 minutes. Reserve the food processor bowl to make the shortcake crumbs.
• For the shortcake crumbs: Reattach the food processor bowl and blade. Add the sandwich cookies, slightly breaking them up as you add them. Add the freeze-dried strawberries. Process the mixture until it's a very fine, cohesive consistency. With the machine running, slowly stream in the melted butter. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
• For the filling: When the crust is frozen, scoop on half of the softened vanilla ice cream. Use a small offset spatula to smooth the ice cream into an even layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shortcake crumbs over the ice cream, slightly pressing in to adhere. Freeze for 45 minutes.
• After 45 minutes, scoop on the softened strawberry ice cream. Use a small offset spatula to smooth the ice cream into an even layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shortcake crumbs over the ice cream, slightly pressing to adhere. Freeze for 45 minutes.
• After 45 minutes, scoop on the remaining vanilla ice cream. Smooth with an offset spatula and top with the remaining shortcake crumbs. Freeze for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, run a knife or offset spatula around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan. Remove the springform ring and slice the cake into wedges.

Steps:

• To prepare the ice cream, first line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Scoop the ice cream into a bowl of a stand mixer and whip until soft, but not melted. Fold the frozen strawberry slices into the mixture by hand. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread to a 1/2" thickness. Cover the ice cream with another piece of parchment paper, and then place the sheet pan in the freezer. When the ice cream has hardened, remove the sheet pan from the freezer. Dip a round cookie cutter in hot water, then make ice cream cutouts. Place the cutouts back into the freezer until needed. To prepare the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line three cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-size bowl. Set aside. Then combine the buttermilk, lemon juice, and vanilla into a small bowl. Set aside. Fit a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, and (on medium speed) combine the butter and sugar until it's pale and fluffy. Add the eggs and mix until well-blended. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately, on low speed. Make sure to begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until well-blended. Spoon 2 Tbsp of batter (about 2" apart) onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Place the cookies on a cooling rack so they can cool completely. To prepare the topping, fit a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, and combine the whipped topping, marshmallow fluff, and strawberry syrup. On medium speed, whip for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Refrigerate the marshmallow topping until needed. To assemble the sandwiches, evenly spread the marshmallow topping on the flat side of two cookies. Place a pre-cut ice cream circle on top of one of the cookies and then top with the other cookie. Freeze until ready to eat.

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch cake pan with plastic wrap so that the plastic overhangs the edges of the pan.
• Arrange the ice cream sandwiches upright around the circumference of the cake pan. Freeze for 20 minutes.
• Place 1 cup of the chopped strawberries and the granulated sugar into the bowl of a food processor or a blender. Process until the strawberries are pureed and the sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes. Cover and refrigerate.
• Put half of the vanilla ice cream in a large bowl and let soften until spreadable but still very thick. Fold in 1 cup of the chopped strawberries. Remove the pan with the ice cream sandwiches from the freezer and pour half of the ice cream mixture into the center. Next, pour in the sweetened strawberry puree. Pour the remaining half of the softened ice cream on top of the puree; smooth to level. Immediately transfer the cake to the freezer to chill at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Remove the cake by pulling the ends of the plastic wrap upward. Lift the cake from the plastic wrap and place on a serving plate.
• Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Place the freeze-dried strawberries and pound cake in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until large crumbs form. Spread the heavy cream on the bottom half of the ice cream sandwich cake. Immediately press in the crumb mixture; reserve the leftover crumbs.
• Top the cake with scoops of the remaining vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with the strawberry syrup and scatter the remaining 1/4 cup chopped strawberries on top. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Place the waffle cones on top of three scoops of the ice cream.
• Serve the cake immediately or transfer to the freezer to store.
