XXL Mocha Ice Cream Sandwich

It's up to you.

10 detailed steps, from preparation to service.

1. Preparing the Thin Brownie

   Heat the oven to 170 °C, conventional oven setting (no fan). Line the pan with 20 x 30 cm of baking paper. Melt the 160 g of chocolate and 100 g of butter in a bain-marie and let cool for 5 minutes.

2. Mix the dough

   Break the 2 eggs in a bowl and fry them for 1 minute with the 100 g of sugar. Incorporate the melted chocolate, then the 80 g of flour and 2 g of cinnamon with a spatula. Spread the dough evenly in the pan.

3. Cook and share

   Cuis 15 to 18 minutes. The top becomes matt, the edges are taken but the center remains slightly flexible. Cool 1 hour in the pan. Lift by paper and cuts into two rectangles of 20 x 15 cm.

4. Prepare the coffee

   Dissolve the 6 g of soluble coffee in the 20 g of hot water, then let it return to room temperature. Then mix with 200 g of sweetened condensed milk.

5. Mounting the ice

   Whisk 350 g of very cold cream until soft peaks are obtained. Fold in the concentrated milk into the coffee three times, lifting with a spatula to preserve the air.

6. Preparing the assembly

   Place a brownie rectangle in a box of dimensions close to 20 x 15 cm lined with film. If the box is larger, fold several layers of baking paper in rigid strips against the edges to maintain a rectangular shape during taking; remove them before serving.

7. Garnish and close

   Pour the coffee cream over the brownie, equalize to about 3 cm high and freeze for 2 hours. Then lay the second brownie rectangle on the ice that has become firm, smooth face up. Hardly push to get them to join.

8. Let harden

   Fold the film without crushing the top and freeze at least 6 extra hours. The medium must be firm before any cutting; cooling cannot be replaced by a simple passage in the refrigerator.

9. Creating the Snow Decor

   Unmold on a plate and remove all film and paper strips. Place on top a star cut from clean paper, sift the 10 g of icing sugar around it and then remove the star: its dark outline remains visible.

10. Cut to reveal

    Wait 8-10 minutes at room temperature. Pass a large blade under hot water, wipe it and then cut a 3 cm bar at one end. The section shows brownie, thick coffee ice cream and brownie. Cut the rest into ten parts when serving.
