The ice cream sandwich is one of the most popular desserts that we serve. We've been making them since the Kennedyville Inn days, when we had Ben & Jerry's ice cream delivered weekly. (One of my favorite stories involves a disgruntled customer who was perturbed by the fact that the sandwich was frozen...but that's a tale for another day.)
We make them in all sorts of variations - from the classic chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream to a double chocolate cookie with raspberry. Right now we are in the thick of one of the most popular combinations - Kilby Cream's pumpkin ice cream with a ginger snap cookie. Here's how Angie puts them together:
 |
| The cookie dough is portioned. |
 |
| She presses the cubes of dough in a mold to insure uniformity. |
 |
| The baked cookies rest on the rolling rack. |
 |
| They cool before being filled with ice cream. |
 |
| Each half is placed on the scale, zeroed out and them the ice cream is weighed on top. |
 |
| Four ounces of ice cream for each cookie. |
 |
| They are a handful, eh? |
 |
| Wrapping them up! |
Voila - ready for your place at the table. This most popular version will be around for a few weeks, and then it might be time for the competition: chocolate cookie with peppermint ice cream! Look for it!
And I've discovered that if you can't finish it (they are a handful), your server will very obligingly put half in the freezer until you are ready to race home with it for your own freezer. What a treat the next day and what terrific service. Thanks.
