Chocolate and Peppermint Candy Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe

Chocolate and Peppermint Candy Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe

  • 1 pint superpremium vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
  • 1 cup finely crushed peppermint hard candies (1/4 lb)
  • 16 chocolate wafers such as Nabisco Famous
  • Special equipment: a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop
  1. Stir together ice cream (reserve pint container), extract, and 1/2 cup crushed candy in a bowl until combined.
  2. Transfer mixture to pint container and freeze until just firm enough to scoop, about 1 hour.
  3. Working very quickly, scoop ice cream onto flat sides of 8 wafers (1 scoop per wafer), then top with remaining 8 wafers, flat sides down. Wrap each sandwich individually with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Unwrap sandwiches and roll edges in remaining 1/2 cup crushed candy. Rewrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
