If you’re looking for a delightful treat that combines rich chocolate with earthy matcha in the most delectable way, these Chocolate & Matcha Ice Cream Sandwiches are just what you need. Each bite offers a perfect balance of flavors, wrapped up in a soft, chocolatey cookie shell with a creamy matcha filling. Let’s dive into the recipe and create these little bites of happiness.

The Perfect Chocolate Cookie

The base of these ice cream sandwiches is a soft, chocolate cookie that melts in your mouth with every bite. The combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, almond flour, cocoa powder, and a hint of coffee powder creates a cookie that is rich in flavor and has a beautifully tender texture.

Ingredients:

• 120g all-purpose flour
• 25g cornstarch
• 20g almond flour
• 10g cocoa powder
• 55g powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder
• 65g butter, cubed
• 35g milk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). In a food processor, combine all the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cornstarch, almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, salt, and instant coffee powder. Pulse the ingredients a few times to ensure they are evenly mixed.

1. Incorporate the Butter: Add the cubed butter into the food processor and pulse again until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

1. Form the Dough: Slowly add the milk and continue pulsing until a dough ball forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
2. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the dough firm up and makes it easier to roll out.
3. Shape the Cookies: Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the desired shapes. For a professional touch, press the cookies onto the @decoracondolcezza mould to imprint a beautiful design.

1. Bake: Place the cookies on a lined baking tray and bake for 18 minutes at 180°C. Once baked, let the cookies cool completely before adding the filling.

Creamy Matcha Filling

The filling is where the magic happens. The combination of cream cheese, whipping cream, white chocolate, condensed milk, and vibrant matcha powder creates a luscious, creamy texture with a perfect hint of sweetness and matcha’s signature earthy flavor.

Ingredients:

• 200g cream cheese, softened
• 200g whipping cream
• 100g melted white chocolate
• 60g condensed milk
• 10g matcha powder dissolved in 3 tbsp water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cream Base: In a large bowl, cream the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
2. Whip the Cream: Slowly add the whipping cream to the cream cheese while continuously whisking. The mixture should be smooth and slightly thickened.
3. Incorporate the Matcha: Dissolve the matcha powder in 3 tablespoons of water to create a smooth paste. Add the matcha paste, melted white chocolate, and condensed milk into the cream mixture. Fold everything together until well combined.
4. Pipe the Filling: Transfer the filling into a piping bag for easy assembly.

Assembling the Sandwiches

Now that your cookies and filling are ready, it’s time to assemble these heavenly treats.

1. Pipe the Filling: Pipe a generous amount of matcha filling onto the flat side of one cookie.
2. Sandwich: Place another cookie on top and gently press down to create a perfect sandwich.
3. Freeze: Arrange the sandwiches on a baking tray and freeze them for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Enjoying Your Creation

Once frozen, these Chocolate & Matcha Ice Cream Sandwiches are ready to be devoured! The cookies soften slightly, making each bite melt in your mouth, while the creamy matcha filling provides a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate.

Whether you’re making these for a special occasion or simply treating yourself, they are bound to impress. The balance of flavors and textures is simply irresistible. Plus, using the @decoracondolcezza mould adds a gorgeous touch, making them as beautiful as they are delicious.

Tips for Success:

• Chilling the Dough: Don’t skip the chilling step. It ensures the cookies hold their shape while baking.
• Matcha Quality: Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
• Storage: Store the sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

These Chocolate & Matcha Ice Cream Sandwiches are a labor of love, but every step is worth it. Give them a try and let the flavors transport you to dessert heaven. Happy baking! 💚
