Ice Cream Sandwich
Ingredients:
- Mother’s Pride-type bread or any tasty, soft bread, toasted
- Large amounts of ice cream of any flavour scooped from a tub with a spoon, not a scoop
- Lotus Biscoff cookie butter (crunchy, if you have the option)
- 0.5 teaspoons of Horlicks (or a cheap alternative under a store brand)
- Leftover nuts or crushed biscuits, if available
- Salt
- Pomegranate molasses (thanks to Ottolenghi)
Instructions:
- Instead of cookie butter, you can use peanut butter, jam, or Nutella. Caramel in any form would be equally brilliant. You could make a Snickers version!
- Honey, mascarpone, yogurt, pudding, and everything else are allowed. Give them a chance – it has potential!
- Take the ice cream out 5-10 minutes earlier. Also, prepare the toast to cool down before making the sandwich.
- Spread cookie butter on both toasts and then layer on a generous amount of ice cream.
- Sprinkle everything with Horlicks, crushed nuts, and whatever else you have on hand, plus a bit of salt.
- Drizzle everything with the wonderful sweet-and-sour pomegranate molasses and cover with the second slice of toast. Cut in half and enjoy.
