Ice Cream Sandwich
When I think of life’s little luxuries, I envision coming home from a long day of work to my family, prop my feet up and relax while eating a pint small bowl of ice cream with my son and watch a movie.
But, as relaxing as that may be, it doesn’t really translate into a recipe. But no worries, I came up with the next best thing: home-made chocolate chip cookies generously filled with macadamia nut brittle ice cream, spiked with a hint of dulce de leche.
Oh boy, this was so good and so easy. Even I enjoyed it and that means something coming from someone who never eats dessert.
This is bound to be the perfect dessert for those lazy summer barbecues with friends and family. Just bake the cookies ahead of time and within mere seconds you’ll have dessert on the table.
Ingredients:
1 cup + 2 tbsp flour
1/3 (slightly heaping light-brown sugar)
1/4 granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips
2 pints Häagen-Dazs® macadamia nut brittle
1 can Dulce de Leche
Directions:
I opted for a very basic, fool-proof cookie recipe. These are crunchy and not overly sweet.
Combine the flour, salt and baking soda and set the bowl aside.
One stick butter (115 gr) cubed and at room temperature. I forgot to take the butter out the fridge so I gave it a few moments in the microwave.
Add the light brown and granulated sugar to the butter.
Whisk until light and fluffy. This will take you about 4 minutes.
One by one you whisk in the eggs.
Stir in the vanilla extract and flour just until combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
I got to lick the fork. And bowl. It’s one of the perks of the job.
Drops spoonfuls of the cookie batter (this was a 1.5″ ice scoop) onto a greased baking sheet and bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350F˚ (175C˚) for 15 to 16 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on the rack completely.
I made 2 cans dulce de leche. Cooked them 3 and half hours, needed them really thick. You can use store-bought as well.
And you’ll be needing ice cream. Lots of it. This one tastes so crazy good.
You can either drop some dulce de leche on top of the cookie, add a scoop of ice cream and add another cookie.
Or you can place a large scoop of ice cream on top of a cookie…
Top it with dulce de leche and place another cookie on top while gently pushing it down.
You’ll want to cut the ice cream gently around the outside of the cookie. This will make sure the ice cream keeps its shape. Serve immediately.
Life sure is filled with simple pleasures.

Let them cool on the rack completely. Open up a can of dulce de leche (directions for the home-made version are on my site) and let the ice cream soften for a minute or 5.

Why did I read this when I’m on a diet?
I sampled it while I’m on a diet! Heck, I don’t even like sweet food… and I ate two of them :)
More chocolate chips and what is Dulce DE Leche?Is it like Caramel?
Dulce de Leche is heaven. It’s a really thick caramel paste. It’s so divine.
Cookies, ice cream and dulce de leche? This looks incredible!
Thanks Kay but,we fellas don’t say divine.more like something J man would get his mouth washed with soap.lol.poor guy,i can almost picture it
Okay Jack, this will be so liberating for you… I need you to repeat after me: “This will be divine”.
*grins wickedly*
But seriously… you have to try it. That stuff is addictive.
My favorite Haagen Dazs is strawberry ice cream. Really there is not better one.
My all-time favorite is cookies and cream. You can wake me up for that one. But this one is really good, too.
I did have a small bowl of their strawberry cheesecake ice cream a few days ago… oh Lord.
How GOOD do these look? I’m totally on board!!
Hi…Kay, Could you, please tell me how you did The “dulce de leche” from cans…?…Were they sweet condensed milk?…and Did you cook them into a “baño de Maria” with the cans open or close?…Thanks…
The dulce de leche in the ingredients list is a link.
Wow, dit klinkt als ‘heaven on a plate’. Koekjes, chocolade, ijs & dulce de leche. Sterker nog, op het ijs na, heb ik alle ingrediënten in huis. Zal ik mijn ijsmachine aanzetten? Lord, waarom ben ik op dieet?
Hi, I am trying the recipe at the moment but I don’t see how many eggs I need?
Shoot, didn’t list them. Two eggs, Tessa!
Thanks!!
Wow, that looks really really good and I would say mission accomplished.. ;)
This looks absolutely incredible! And I love Haagan Daaz. I haven’t tried their macadamia nut brittle – only their dulce de leche which is absolutely to die for – but I’m so excited to try this combo.
Hello Kayotic Kitchen
This recipe is lovely. I didn’t have any light brown sugar so used dark brown. For the filling I used Nutella and peanut butter. They turned out really nice. Thank you for sharing your recipes. I spent ages yesterday browsing all the yummy recipes.
A very tasty thank you!
