Ahh…the Sandwich. Although they existed long before they were called sandwiches, John Montague, the fourth earl of Sandwich, is credited with naming the tasty invention. Montague, a heavy card player, held his cards in one hand and cheese and meat between slices of bread in the other (This is still a sandwich purpose in my house today!). Montague’s fellow players started asking for Sandwich’s …and the rest is sandwich history!
The Unconventional Sandwich posts explore a variety of sandwich condiments and toppings, twists on old favorites, and traditional sandwiches with our own unique flare. From breakfast to dessert, there isn’t anything we can’t try to sandwich.
The Donut-Ice Cream Sandwich
What you’ll need (sans picture, I apologize):
Chocolate Donuts, Ice cream (we used devil’s food donuts and peanut butter cup ice cream)
Donut Ice-Cream Sandwich
1 box large, chocolate flavored donuts
Some ice cream (firm, not softened)
(Now is the time to improvise. Mini donuts. Powdered. Your favorite flavor of ice cream…Go for it!)
First, freeze your base (at least six hours). Get those donuts chilly!
After your donuts are frozen, remove from the freezer and cut each donut in half crosswise (equally). Warning--this is a delicate process.
Remove your ice cream from the freezer. Scrape the ice cream with a butter knife. Then, spread the ice cream on one half of the donut, keeping the center hole empty.
Place the “top” of the donut on the ice cream, and place back in the package. Keep one out to snack on, and save the rest for later ; )
Freeze your sandwiches at least one hour before serving.
