The perfect treat on a hot day is an ice cream from your own freezer. Homemade, we mean. They are not slim, but they are tasty, like this biscuit sandwich with passion fruit white chocolate ice cream.
Dessert or snack for 4 people. Preparation time 1 hour, freezing time 1.5 hours
Ingredients
- 100 g soft butter
- 100 g brown sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 1 egg
- 50 ml buttermilk
- 150 g spelt flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- powdered sugar
- 4-6 passion fruit or 100 ml passion fruit coulis
- 75 g white chocolate
- 200 ml whipped cream
- almonds, finely chopped for garnish.
Additional needed:
- mixer
- (disposable) piping bag
- baking tray with baking paper
- ice cream maker
- cookie cutter or baking ring
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Make the cookies first. Beat the butter with the sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the pith of the vanilla pod, the egg and the buttermilk. Beat well. Sift the spelled flour with the baking powder over the batter and mix.
- Spoon the batter into a piping bag with a round nozzle or cut-off opening (diameter 1.5 centimeters). Pipe puffs of cookie dough at a sufficient distance from each other on a baking tray lined with baking paper (use two baking trays if necessary). Dip a spoon in water and flatten the dough slightly with the convex side.
- Dust lightly with icing sugar (not liberally, it could catch fire!). Bake the cookies in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden. Remove the baking tray from the oven and slide the baking paper with cookies onto the work surface. Let cool.
- Halve the passion fruit and spoon out the pulp. Rub the pulp through a sieve and measure 100 ml of the fine puree (in cooking terms:'coulis').
- Chop the chocolate finely. Heat the passion fruit sauce and stir in the chocolate in portions. Let it melt and stir until smooth.
- Whip the whipped cream until stiff and fold through the chocolate mixture. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and turn according to directions to creamy ice cream. Then spread out in a small baking tin or container (approximately 15×15 centimeters). Let it freeze for at least 1 hour.
- Before serving, cut circles out of the ice with a heated cookie cutter or baking ring, the same size as the cookies. Place the ice cream circles between two cookies and press lightly. Roll the side of the 'sandwich' in the chopped almonds. Serve immediately or refreeze.
