Strawberry Shortbread Ice Cream Sammies

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Serving Size: 5-6 ice cream sandwiches

Ingredients

For the Strawberry Compote
  •  strawberries
  •  sugar
  •  lemon juice
For the Whipped Cream
For the Ice Cream Sandwiches

Instructions

  • Remove the tops from the strawberries, then chop the strawberries up into small pieces.

  • Add them to a small saucepan, over medium heat, with the sugar and lemon juice.

  • Stir the strawberries until they start to boil. It should take about 3-5 minutes to reach boiling. The top should be pink and frothy.

  • Carefully use a potato masher to mash the strawberries.

  • Remove from the heat and transfer the strawberry compote to a bowl. Place in the fridge to chill, about an hour. The compote should be cold before using.

  • In the meantime, combine the heavy whipping cream with the sugar in a bowl. Use a hand mixer, or emulsion blender to mix the cream into whipped cream. About a minute, the whipped cream should be a softer whipped cream, not stiff.

  • Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Stick it in the freezer for 10 minutes to get it cold.

  • Scoop the Strawberry ice cream into one corner of the baking sheet, and use a large spoon or spatula to flatten it. It should be about 1/2 an inch thick.

  • Spread strawberry compote on the top and then spread a layer of the softened whipped cream on top.

  • Place the ice cream in the freezer and let it freeze for 3 hours until it’s hard.

  • Once it’s frozen, use a cookie cutter to cut out circles in the ice cream. Place the ice cream circle on one shortbread cookie then top with the other cookie.

  • You can either eat the ice cream sandwiches right away or place them in a freezer safe container and freeze them to enjoy later!
