Dipped Ice Cream Sandwiches

INGREDIENTS

• 568ml block vanilla ice cream
• 1x 10 pack wafers

For the chocolate gaze:

• 400g dark chocolate, minimum 55% cocoa solids
• 50ml rapeseed oil

To decorate:

• 40g chopped hazelnuts
• Chocolate & multi coloured sprinkles

METHOD

1. Cut the vanilla block ice cream into about 5 even size slices and sandwich each piece with a slice of wafer to create an ice cream sandwich. Freeze whilst you prepare the chocolate glaze.
2. Place the chocolate and the oil in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water, and gently melt, stirring regularly. Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes, ensuring the glaze does not harden but is not too warm.
3. Remove the ice cream sandwiches from the freezer and dip one half of each sandwich into the chocolate glaze.
4. Sprinkle the chocolate side of each sandwich with decorations of your choice, chocolate/multicoloured sprinkles or chopped hazelnuts.
5. Transfer to a tray lined with parchment paper and return to the freezer for 15 minutes before enjoying!
