Ingredients

- 3 eggs

- 200 ml liquid cream (we recommend Meggle for optimal texture)
- 100 g sugar (for the cream)
- 50 g sugar (for caramel)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (or 1 sachet of vanilla sugar)

Brief History

Sandwich ice cream is a dessert that has gained popularity worldwide due to its versatility. It combines the creamy texture of ice cream with the crunchiness of wafers or cookies, providing a pleasant contrast. The exact origins of this dessert are hard to establish, but it has become a symbol of summer and joy, being served at parties, gatherings with friends, or simply as a personal treat.

Step by Step

1. Preparing the Cream: Start by beating the egg yolks with 100 g of sugar, vanilla essence, and the 2 teaspoons of ammonia (or flour, if you prefer). Gradually add 200 ml of water or milk and place the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously. The goal is to achieve a consistency similar to yogurt, so don’t rush.

2. Caramelizing the Sugar: In another non-stick pot, melt 50 g of sugar over very low heat. Be careful not to burn it, as bitter caramel will not be pleasant. Once the sugar has melted and has taken on a golden color, add the previously prepared cream and mix quickly. There will be pieces of caramel left, which will add a nice texture. Let the mixture cool completely.

3. Whipping the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the liquid cream on high speed for 4-5 minutes until it becomes very stiff. It is essential that the cream is well-chilled from the start to achieve an airy texture.

4. Preparing the Egg White Foam: In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until a stiff foam forms. When you turn the bowl upside down, the foam should remain intact. This step is crucial to give the ice cream a light texture.

5. Combining Ingredients: Use a whisk to carefully fold the egg white foam into the whipped cream, adding it spoon by spoon. Mix gently to avoid losing volume. Then, add the broken chocolate cream cookies and the cooled caramel cream. Mix all ingredients gently to achieve a homogeneous mixture.

6. Freezing the Ice Cream: Transfer the mixture to the desired container and place it in the freezer. After 1 hour, take it out and stir gently, then put it back in the freezer for another hour.

7. Assembling the Sandwich Ice Cream: Cut the wafers into 2 or 4 equal pieces for easier handling. On each piece, add a layer of ice cream about 1 cm high, level it with a butter knife, and add another wafer on top. Press gently and fill with ice cream if needed. Continue until you finish all the wafers and ice cream.

8. Final Freezing: Stack all the sandwiches on top of each other and leave them in the freezer for 3 hours to firm up well.

Useful Tip

A trick to achieve a less icy ice cream is to stir the mixture occasionally during freezing. Also, if you are a chocolate fan, you can add chocolate chips to the ice cream mixture or use chocolate-flavored cookies instead of cream ones.
