Fresh Milled Flour Ice Cream Sandwiches
These Fresh Milled Flour Ice Cream Sandwiches combine your favorite ice cream between a fresh milled fudgy brownie. What's not to love?!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 3/4 Cup Butter
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar, cane or coconut
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Real Vanilla Extract
- 190 Grams Soft White Wheat
- 1 Quart Ice Cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a bakers half sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a microwave safe bowl or in a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of Dark Chocolate Chips and 3/4 Cup of butter. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
- While chocolate and butter are melting, weigh out 190 grams of soft white wheat berries and mill them. Set this fresh milled flour aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whip together eggs and 1 cup sugar using a hand-held mixer. Whip for 2-3 minutes or until mixture is frothy. Next whip in vanilla extract and melted chocolate chip mixture. Fold flour into wet ingredients just until batter is combined.
- Spread brownie batter into bakers half sheet pan. Brownie batter will be thick, so take your time spreading evenly. Bake brownies at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until top is slightly firm to the touch.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely. This should take around 1/2 hour. Slice brownies into desired ice cream sandwich sizes using a plastic knife. (The plastic knife allows you to slice through without dragging brownie with you on the knife.)
- Separate brownie slices onto two sheet pans and pop them in the freezer for 1/2 hour-1 hour to chill. This will allow you to spread the ice cream without them falling apart.
- About 5 minutes before you are ready to assemble, take ice cream out of the freezer to thaw slightly. The amount of time will depend on the brand of ice cream you are using.
- Assemble only a few sandwiches at a time because you may have to pop the ice cream back in the freezer before making the next round. Working quickly, generously scoop ice cream onto bottom half of sandwich and spread evenly. Press the top brownie onto the sandwich. At this point you can wrap them individually with plastic wrap or parchment paper or you can lay them in a container with a lid.
- Freeze Fresh Milled Flour Ice Cream Sandwiches until you are ready to enjoy.
Ice Cream Sandwiches Made With Fresh Milled Flour
We love surprising our guys with a treat after they come home from a hard day at work. Our guys build additions and remodel homes, so a good portion of summer is spent outside in the hot sunshine. How refreshing to come home to a from scratch supper followed by a sweet treat like these Fresh Milled Ice Cream Sandwiches!
If you’ve made our Fresh Milled Chocolate Chip Cookies or our Fresh Milled Cookie Bars, then you already know what a big deal cookies are in this house. While we could just make an ice cream sandwich with some Fresh Milled Chocolate Chip Cookies, why not instead sandwich our favorite ice cream (vanilla or chocolate) between two fudgy, thin, fresh milled brownies. It’s a match made in heaven and we hope your gang loves them just as much as ours does!
Key features in our Fresh Milled Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches:
- An elevated yet achievable fresh milled dessert- Feel daunted by fresh milled baking or just baking in general? No worries with these sandwiches. While they do take some prep, each step is simple with solid results!
- Feeds a crowd or makes plenty of freezer treats for later! This recipe makes 12 good sized sandwiches. It’s a great amount to share or have on hand when you need to pull a sweet treat out of the freezer.
- Versatile and just plain fun! Fill these ice cream sandwiches with your favorite ice cream whether it’s store bought or homemade. So many flavors would work in these sandwiches – vanilla bean, chocolate, strawberry, or even a butter pecan would pair well with the fudgy brownie. You can even roll them in sprinkles or mini chocolate chips.
- An indulgent fresh milled flour dessert… Every once in a while you need something rich and delicious that streams down your chin when you take a bite. This. Is. It. You’ll thank us later!
Don’t forget the WHY behind fresh milled baking!
We always think it’s important to remind our readers to get back to the why of fresh milled flour recipes.
Maybe your why is because you desire to make wholesome (or in this case wholesomely rich and delicious!), from scratch food for you family, in your own kitchen. Or after being gluten free for years you realized you could enjoy grains in their whole form. Maybe you learned of the amazing health benefits of fresh milled grains. Or maybe it’s all of the above!
It’s easy to get lost in the noise of the internet. But as women, wives, and mothers, let’s get back to kitchens and homes that provide not just wholesome food for our families, but also delicious food that satisfies our deepest needs for nourishment. Our kitchens can be reminders of our deeper spiritual needs- Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” John 6:35
