    After making the cinnamon ice cream I wanted to push the envelope a little further by having a go at making baklava ice cream sandwiches. This is an ice cream sandwich dessert you'll want to bookmark for special occasions.

    These were not going to be any ordinary ice cream sandwiches though.

    I wanted to apply my "Greek touch" to the whole process.  

    For quite a while I had wanted to incorporate the flavours of baklava into some kind of ice cream sandwich dessert.

    I tinkered with the idea of making my own ice cream cones and incorporating a honey flavour through them but I had no success in this area.  

    Then I remembered those ice cream sandwiches you used to buy as a kid.  

    Australians seem to have a fascination with this type of ice cream sandwich dessert. The Monaco Bar was brought back after heavy pressure from an online petition!

    🥘 Ingredients

    These are the ingredients required to make baklava ice cream sandwiches:

    For the ice cream:

    • 1 portion cinnamon ice cream

    For the cookies or biscuits:

    • 120 g butter, unsalted, room tem,perature
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • ½ cup honey, Greek preferred
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 2 cups flour, plain or all purpose, may need to add a little more to get a good, pliable dough
    • 1 pinch salt

    For the decoration:

    • 1 cup walnuts, shelled, coarsley chopped
    • 2 tbsp brown sugar
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

    To achieve the baklava style flavours I was after, I mixed honey into a biscuit dough and baked these in the oven.

    The flavours were spot on!

    I had cinnamon, walnuts and honey...all the flavours of a Greek baklava.

    🔪 Instructions

    • Using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar and honey until you have a creamy consistency-this will take between 2-3 mins. Lower the speed on your mixer and proceed to add the eggs one at a time ensuring they are well incorporated. Add your vanilla extract.
    • In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add this flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until a dough begins to form. You may need to add a little more flour to form the dough. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
    • Pre heat your oven to 180 deg C and line a baking tray with some baking paper.
    • Remove the dough from the fridge and on a lightly floured surface proceed to roll it out to ¼ inch thick. Using your preferred cookie cutter and cut out 8 cookies. Line the cookies on the baking pan and pierce the tops with a fork.
    • Bake for 8-10 mins, remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before sandwiching the ice cream.
    • Once you have sandwiched the ice cream, roll the sides of the sandwich in the walnut mixture.

    💭 Top tip

    I'm not going to lie. I was a tad disappointed with the presentation.

    If I had known I would be making these baklava ice cream sandwiches beforehand, I would have poured the freshly churned ice cream into a shallower pan and "cut out" the ice cream to sandwich them perfectly around the biscuit.

    I found scooping it and shaping it a little frustrating as it kept on melting.

    Overall though, I was quite happy with the flavours.

    They turned out a little bigger than what I would have preferred and a little messy to eat but hey, that's the price you pay for wanting to be nostalgic.

    • Once you have sandwiched the ice cream, roll the sides of the sandwich in the walnut mixture.

    Notes

    • The cookie cutters I used measured in at 9 cms. I think it would be better to use smaller ones say 6-7 cms. I’ll leave that up to you.
    • Also as I stated earlier, it would be preferable to use the same cookie cutters to cut out the ice cream once it had frozen in a shallow pan. That way they would fit perfectly around the two biscuits.
