How pumped are you for the Super Bowl? It's going to be a bit of a somber occasion around here since the man is a Pat's fan and... well... you saw what happened.
Thankfully Kimberley from Kimberley's Kitchen - my number one marshmallow destination - has her game face on and is fully prepared with these amazing Superbowl Ice Cream Sandwiches.
Have you meet Kimberley before? She makes incredible artisan marshmallows and confections. She's passionate about quality food and the environment, and all her ingredients are simple, often local, organic and fair trade certified.
Take it away, Kimberley!
Ice cream and chocolate chip cookies. Two of my favorite things. So, I
thought, why not put them together and make the ultimate Superbowl treat for
our annual party!
Superbowl is a big deal in our house. We spend months planning our menu;
long before we know the teams in that final game. And if it happens to be two
teams we like, or even just one, then all the better! However, this year is
shaping up to be two teams we don't particularly love (sorry!) so we are
planning a fairly neutral color palette and putting away all of our Saints
memorabilia.
I was trying to think of a hand-held dessert combining my two favorite
foods and then it hit me- Ice Cream Sandwiches! Who said they are just for
summer? My epiphany came to me after I made a batch of the BEST HOMEMADE ICE
CREAM EVER!
Okay, I know that I am not the first to make homemade ice cream. But
trust me, if you haven't tried it, you are missing out. Of course, this recipe
would work just fine with your favorite store-bought. But homemade really isn't
too difficult or time-consuming so why not try it?
I started with football shaped cookies made from my Favorite Oatmeal
Chocolate Chip recipe, which I am sharing below. But you could use any cookie
recipe that you love- chocolate cookies, sugar cookies, you name it, it would
work just fine.
I then added my homemade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Again, go with your
favorite flavor.
I then added a few mix-ins. I am all about the mix-ins. Here we have
simple, humble chocolate chips and some handmade marshmallows (to be fair, I
add marshmallows to just about everything). And voila. You have a Superbowl
dessert that is fun, interactive, and destined to be a family favorite.
