Frozen Black And Whites With An Ice Cream Heart Recipes

BLACK-AND-WHITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper. In a mixer, cream the butter. Add the granulated sugar and beat until fluffy. Add the eggs, milk, and extracts and mix to combine. In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, and salt and mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the sugar-egg mixture and mix to blend. Using an ice-cream scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared pans. With a spatula, press and spread each cookie into a circle about 5 inches in diameter and about 3/8-inch thickness. Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden. Let cool on wire racks.
• Icing: In a medium bowl, stir the sugar, milk, and vanilla together until it forms a smooth icing. Transfer half of the icing to another bowl and stir in the cocoa powder and milk until smooth.
• When cool, turn cookies over, so the flat side faces up. Spread white icing on half of each flat surface, then spread the other half with chocolate icing. Let set at room temperature for 30 minutes.

BLACK AND WHITE FROZEN SHAKES

Steps:

• In a blender, for each shake, combine 3 squirts of chocolate syrup (about 1/4 cup) 1/2 pint vanilla ice cream (about 2 to 3 scoops), 2 cups skim milk and 4 ice cubes. Blend on high until smooth and icy. Serve with straws in soda fountain or other tall glass.

BLACK AND WHITE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place large scoops of ice cream between cookies or thin brownies and squish the ice cream out to the edges. Roll the ice cream sandwiches in chopped walnuts and serve.

BLACK-AND-WHITE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Drop six 2/3-cup mounds mint chocolate chip ice cream onto waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. Using metal spatula, shape each mound into 3- to 3 1/2-inch square; freeze squares.
• Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Sift flour, cocoa and salt onto butter mixture. Stir until blended and soft dough forms. Gather dough into ball; flatten into rectangle. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper to 13 x 10-inch rectangle. Place dough, still between waxed paper sheets, on baking sheet. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 300°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel top sheet of waxed paper off dough. Trim dough to 12 x 9-inch rectangle; cut dough into twelve 3-inch squares. Transfer squares to parchment-lined sheet, discarding waxed paper and spacing squares about 1 inch apart. Bake until cookies are firm to touch, about 20 minutes. Cool cookies completely on sheet.
• Melt white chocolate in medium metal bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Remove bowl from over water.
• Holding corner of 1 cookie, dip cookie into melted chocolate until half covered on diagonal, tilting bowl if necessary to submerge. Shake cookie gently to allow some excess chocolate to drip back into bowl. Return dipped cookie to parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cookies and white chocolate. Freeze cookies until chocolate coating is firm, about 10 minutes.
• Arrange 6 cookies, flat side up, on work surface. Top each with frozen ice cream square, then another cookie, flat side down, pressing slightly to adhere. Cover and freeze sandwiches. (Can be made 4 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
