Ice-cream sandwiches

Let your creative juices run wild; use any lollies you like in the ice-cream, if they are large, roughly chop them. Make this a rocky road ice-cream sandwich by adding chopped turkish delight, dark choc chips, peanuts and coconut.

Ingredients

2 oven trays

7.5 centimetre (3-inch) round cutter

2 litre (8-cups) vanilla ice-cream, softened

2.Place ice-cream in a large bowl. Gently fold in Smarties. Spoon mixture into pan, smooth surface. Freeze for 2 hours or overnight until firm.

3.Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced). Grease and line oven trays with baking paper.

4.Cut cookie dough into 16 x 1cm (½-inch) thick slices, place 2cm (¾-inch) apart on trays. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on trays.

5.Cut eight rounds from ice-cream using round cutter, sandwich each round between 2 cookies. Place on a tray, freeze for 30 minutes or overnight until firm.
