Dani Venn creates a Christmas twist with gingerbread ice cream whoopie pies.
Ingredients:
  • 250g cream cheese
  • 75.00 gm icing sugar
  • 27.00 gm maple syrup
  • 420.00 gm good quality vanilla ice cream
  • 450.00 gm self raising flour, sifted
  • 20.00 gm ground ginger
  • 10.00 gm ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 180.00 gm brown sugar
  • 2 large free range eggs
  • 27.80 gm molasses or treacle
  • 54.00 gm maple syrup
  • 117.50 gm sour cream
  • 230.00 gm vegetable oil
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C (180C fan-forced) and line two baking trays with baking paper or a silicone mat.
  • For the ice cream filling, combine cream cheese, icing sugar, and maple syrup in an electric mixer. Blend on high until the cream cheese is softened. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the ice cream, and mix on high until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and chill in the freezer until firm.
  • In a big mixing bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and then set aside.
  • In an electric mixing bowl, combine sugar, eggs, molasses, maple syrup, sour cream, and vegetable oil. Mix on medium-high speed until thoroughly blended.
  • Gradually incorporate half of the flour mixture into the wet ingredients on low speed until fully combined, then add the rest of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until smooth.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, portion about one tablespoon of the mixture onto a baking tray, shaping it into a circle with your finger. Leave a 5cm space between each pie. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
  • Bake the pies for approximately 12 minutes until they spring back when touched. Then, cool them on a rack for 5 minutes after removing from the oven.
  • When ready to serve the pies, add a scoop of ice cream to one pie, top with another pie, and enjoy right away.
