Ice Cream Sandwich

It's hot again.  We are blessed with temperatures pushing to the triple digits after a nice respite over the weekend.  Hot = ice cream sandwiches, no?
Ahhh ice cream sandwich.  They evoke memories of childhood, when we used to chase after the ice cream truck, panting until we flag it down, handing over our bills and grabbing an ice cream sandwich in exchange.  What can be better than a nice ice cream sandwich on a sweltering day?

As you see we like the sandwiches BIG, loaded with ice cream, with thick cookies.  In fact, we prioritized taste over form, attempted to squeeze as much ice cream as we could, and sacrificed looks in the process.  But the result was a nice, cool, sweet concoction, plus we got a bit greedy and added snickers pieces to the ice cream, heh heh.
You can use whatever recipe for chocolate chip cookies you like.

Recipe
Snickers Ice Cream
1 1/4 cups full fat milk
1 1/4 cups cream
1 cup caster sugar
4 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup chopped snickers bars
1 cup chocolate chips
8 oz fudge, chopped

Pour the cream and milk into a sauce pan.  Stir in sugar until mixed well.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate over night.
Churn for about 30 minutes in an ice cream maker.  When the mixture is almost done, fold in the snickers bars, chocolate chips, and fudge.
Once the churning has finished, scoop ice cream on a cookie.  Place another cookie on top and squeeze gently.  Cover in wrap and place in freezer until nicely solid and cold.

Enjoy!
