Cocoa powder – used to sprinkle ice cream sandwiches before serving; you can also use icing sugar.
How to make ice cream sandwiches
Make the ice cream. In a large bowl, mix the cream and mascarpone with an electric mixer until you obtain a smooth mixture. Add the coffee, chocolate chips and crumbled wafers and mix with a spatula. Prepare the biscuits. Dip each biscuit in milk and place the bottom layer on the baking tray with the mould.
Assemble the ice cream sandwiches. Spread the prepared ice cream mixture over the cookies, then arrange the top layer of cookies to cover the cream. Freeze for 4 hours. Once the freezing time has passed, cut the ice cream cake into sandwiches using the biscuits as a guide. Dust the ice cream sandwiches with cocoa powder before serving.
Suggestions
The ice cream mixture should be soft enough to spread. With homemade ice cream, this is usually not a problem. But store-bought ice cream contains more stabilizers, which means it will be firmer. More expensive brands may contain fewer stabilizers, so they will melt faster, making them more spreadable.
