This week's Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Bread and Chocolate Coffee Can Brioche Ice Cream Sandwiches. Once you have the brioche, the chocolate icecream "pucks" and the optional salted caramel sauce, it is just an assembly job.
You could bake a brioche from Dorie's book in a coffee can; I had part of a brioche left in the freezer from one of the Dorie recipes we had to make last year, so I used that. I also had some ready made caramel sauce, and I bought some chocolate icecream to mould into a round using a cookie cutter.
The frozen icecream round is placed between two similarly sized toasted rounds of brioche, then warmed caramel sauce is poured over the top to complete the icecream sandwich dessert. My icecream melted a little when the sauce went on, but that just added to the rich sauciness of the dessert.
This recipe would be easy to whip up as a dessert for entertaining when friends arrive unexpectedly - you can keep all of the ingredients on hand for use when required.

I'm fascinated by the coffee can part so I'm going to have to look that up now! :D
ReplyDeleteI love how you just happen to have brioche in the freezer - your freezer sounds more fancy than mine - this does sound like a delicious dessert
