For the instant strawberry ice cream
| Ingredients (4 servings) | ||
|---|---|---|
| 400 | g | Strawberries, frozen |
| 80 | g | Powdered sugar |
| 150 | g | Whipped cream, iced |
| 1 | tablespoon(s) | Lemon juice |
| 1 | glass | Strawberry powder, freeze-dried (optional) |
- To make the chocolate chip cookies, cream the butter with the brown and granulated sugar in a bowl. Add the egg and vanilla sugar and mix well.
- Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture and mix to a smooth batter.
- Fold in the chopped chocolate.
- Cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes.
- Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Flatten the balls slightly, leaving enough space between them, as the cookies will spread during baking.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C top/bottom heat for approx. 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, for the instant ice cream, place the frozen strawberries in a blender with the powdered sugar, cream and lemon juice and blend on the highest setting until you have a creamy, smooth ice cream mixture. If the ice cream is too firm, add a little more whipped cream.
- Place in the freezer for approx. 30 minutes if you want it to firm up.
- For the ice cream sandwiches, place a generous spoonful of the ice cream on the flat side of a cookie.
- Place a second cookie on top and press down lightly so that the ice cream is visible around the edge. Roll in the strawberry powder.
- Serve the finished sandwiches immediately or place in the freezer for approx. 1 hour to firm up.
