Sammiches make you feel good

"Ice cream" sammiches that is. I posted the recipe for lemon pie earlier. I made the comment that it would also be good with chocolate and made as lime filling. It really is! Since it was so good when I froze it, I decided to make ice cream sandwiches.

The top and bottom crust is a brownie mix, baked in a jellyroll sheet pan. I used a dough roller and flattened it and cut it in half.

You should line the pan with parchment paper or tin foil so you can flip it out of the pan. While the brownie crust was cooling, I made the filling.

Looks like a sci-fy egg doesn't it? This is 1 can of evaporated milk, 2 packages of lemon instant pudding and about a tablespoon of lime zest. When this is whisked together, it becomes thick. The second part of this is to mix vanilla and two 8 oz. packages of cream cheese until it's smooth. Add a thawed 12 oz. can of limeade concentrate to the cream cheese mixture and blend thoroughly.

To this mixture add the pudding mixture and beat until it's completely incorporated, scraping the bottom of the bowl occasionally. The mixture will be semi firm. You can refrigerate it until the brownies are completely cool.

Cover a cookie sheet pan with a sheet of tinfoil and place 1/2 of the flattened brownie. Plop the lime mixture on top and even out. Place the second half of the flattened brownie on top of the lime layer. At this point the mixture will ooze out the sides a little. You can pull the edges of the tin foil up to make a wall. Place the whole thing in the freezer.

When it is completely frozen, turn the whole thing out on a flat surface, flip it over and peel off the foil. Slice it into whatever size sandwiches you want. Put the slices in freezer bags or a plastic container with a lid and store in the freezer.

This filling could be used with 2 large cookies....make the individual sandwiches and freeze before wrapping. It makes a generous amount. The lime filling was not quite as tart as the lemon. I would think just about any kind of cookie would be good - buy them or bake them yourself. It was a pretty fun project!
