Ingredients
For the cookies
100g
unsalted butter, chopped, plus extra to grease
75g
light brown soft sugar
60g
granulated sugar
1
medium egg
1tsp.
vanilla extract
200g
plain flour
1/2tsp.
bicarbonate of soda
100g
dark or milk chocolate, to taste, chopped
To fill and decorate
1
litre vanilla ice cream
100g
milk or dark chocolate, to taste, coarsely grated
Directions
Step 1For the cookies, gently melt butter in a large pan. Set aside to cool for 5min. Using a wooden spoon, mix in both sugars, followed by the egg, vanilla and a 1/4 tsp fine salt. Add flour and bicarbonate of soda and mix. Stir in chocolate. Set aside for 10min to relax.
Step 2Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Lightly grease base and sides of a 20.5cm (round springform tin. Divide cookie mixture in half. Press one half into base of greased tin. Bake for 15min, until lightly golden. Allow to cool in tin for 10min, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat baking and cooling with remaining dough.
Step 3To assemble, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 5min. Grease sides of the cleaned tin and line sides with baking parchment (no lining needed on base). Place a cookie in the base (top down). Spoon over the ice cream in an even layer (making sure it touches the lined sides of the tin). Sit the second cookie on top, pressing down lightly.
Step 4Cover tin with clingfilm and freeze again until needed.
Step 5Remove from tin. Roll sides of sandwich in grated chocolate. Serve in wedges.
GET AHEAD: Prepare to end of step 4 up to a week ahead. Complete recipe to serve.
