Homemade Plum No Churn Eggless Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe for Summer

By Apurvi Bansal

When it comes to summertime treats, nothing quite beats the indulgence of an ice cream sandwich. But this isn't just any ordinary ice cream sandwich; it's a Plum Compote Ice Cream Sandwich, a dessert that stands out for its unique flavour profile and texture.

Why you'll love this Ice Cream Sandwich?

The foundation of this delightful treat is a pair of soft, rich chocolate cookies. These cookies are a perfect balance of sweetness and cocoa bitterness, offering a tender bite that contrasts wonderfully with the creamy filling. Unlike typical crunchy cookies, these are designed to remain soft and chewy, even after freezing, making each bite an easy, satisfying experience.

Nestled between these cookies is the star of the show: plum compote ice cream. The ice cream itself is rich and creamy, but what makes it truly special is the plum compote. The compote is made from fresh plums, cooked down to a luscious, thick sauce that retains a hint of tartness. This tartness is the perfect counterpoint to the sweet, creamy ice cream base. As you bite into the sandwich, the plum compote adds bursts of fresh, fruity flavour, making the experience refreshingly unique.

The combination of flavours and textures in this ice cream sandwich is what sets it apart. The chocolate cookies bring a deep, rich flavour, while the plum compote adds a bright, tangy note that keeps the dessert from becoming overly sweet. The creaminess of the ice cream ties everything together, creating a harmonious blend that is both indulgent and refreshing.

Using Plum compote in an ice cream sandwich is an inspired choice. Plums are not a common fruit in ice cream sandwiches, which makes this dessert both novel and intriguing. The natural sweetness and slight tartness of the plums provide a sophisticated flavour that elevates the entire experience. It's a delightful twist on a classic treat, offering a gourmet touch that is sure to impress anyone who tries it.

In essence, this Plum Compote Ice Cream Sandwich is more than just a dessert; it's an experience. It brings together rich, soft chocolate cookies and creamy ice cream infused with the unique, vibrant flavour of fresh plums. It's a perfect treat for those who appreciate the finer things in life, and it's sure to become a new favourite for anyone who loves the combination of chocolate and fruit.

Steps:

1. Plum Compote: Cook plums with sugar, lemon juice, and water until thickened.

2. Ice Cream: Whip heavy cream, mix with condensed milk, vanilla, and plum compote, then freeze.

3. Cookies: Mix dry ingredients, cream butter with sugars, combine, shape, and bake.

4. Assemble: Scoop ice cream onto cookies, form sandwiches, wrap, and freeze.

Tips for Perfect Ice Cream Sandwich:

• To ensure the cookies remain soft, avoid over baking. They should be just set at the edges and still soft in the centre when you remove them from the oven.

• Let the assembled sandwiches freeze for at least an hour to allow the cookies to soften slightly and the ice cream to firm up for easier handling and eating.

These Plum Compote Ice Cream Sandwiches are a delightful combination of rich chocolate and tangy-sweet plum compote, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your homemade treat!
