Ingredients
Pretzel Ice Cream
- 1 pint vanilla bean ice cream
- 1/2 cup salted pretzels
- 1/4 cup honey
Chocolate Chunk Cookies
- 1 1/4 sticks butter (10 tbsp)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Extras
- nutella
- flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Start by making the Ice Cream. If you are making your own, start by emptying the ice cream into the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Add the pretzels and mix until incorporated. Next add the honey and only mix 1 or 2 times so that there are honey swirls and not all incorporated. Put ice cream back in the original container. Freeze at least 2 hours or until solid again. Eat melted ice cream that doesn’t fit in the tub.
- Next Make the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the butter and sugars until smooth. About 2-3 minutes. Next add the egg and vanilla and mix until creamy. Finish by adding the four, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix on low until dough forms. Sprinkle in Chocolate chips and mix just until incorporated then stop. You don’t want to over work the dough at this point.
- Portion out 7-8 balls of dough with your hands, I typically get 7 and that makes 3 ice cream cookies with 1 test cookie for me to eat. Then place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. I use my Silpat here.
- Bake until golden and fluffy, about 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with the sea salt. Let the cookies completely cool before making the sammies.
- Finally Assemble. Take the ice cream out of the fridge and cut along the seam of the pint, then take the cylinder of ice cream out of the pint and cut into pieces creating 3-4 circles of ice cream. Next, quickly take two cookies and spread the bottoms of both with nutella, then place the ice cream circle in between the nutella sides creating a sandwich. Repeat with the rest of the cookies/ice cream.
- To store, wrap in plastic wrap and keep in the freezer up to 1 week.
