PB&J RITZ CRACKER ICE CREAM SANDWICHES



PB&J Ritz Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches image

Growing up, my favorite snack to make was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on Ritz crackers. Something about the salty, buttery cracker combined with creamy peanut butter and sweet jam brought me so much joy. This recipe takes that treat to the next level by turning it into a homemade ice cream sandwich. Peanut butter and raspberry jam are swirled into vanilla ice cream, hen sandwiched between Ritz crackers and rolled in peanuts for a delightful dessert.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 15 mini sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened at room temperature for about 10 minutes
1/3 cup raspberry jam
30 Ritz crackers
1 cup crushed salted peanuts, optional

Steps:

  • Line a small rimmed baking sheet with several layers of plastic wrap, making sure to thoroughly cover the baking sheet, leaving about 6 inches of plastic wrap hanging over the two long sides.
  • Place the peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 15 seconds.
  • Spread the softened ice cream into an even layer on the baking sheet. Dot with jam and drizzle with melted peanut butter. Using a knife, create swirls on the top of the ice cream. Fold the plastic wrap overhang over the ice cream to cover the surface and freeze for at least an hour and up to overnight.
  • Carefully remove the frozen ice cream from the baking sheet and place on a cutting board. Cut out 15 rounds with a 1 1/2- to 2-inch biscuit cutter, or cut into 15 1 1/2- to 2-inch squares with a knife. Sandwich each piece of ice cream between two Ritz crackers. Place the peanuts on a plate, if using, and roll the edges of the sandwiches in crushed peanuts.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately, or place in a freezer-safe container and freeze up to 2 weeks (the crackers will become soggier the longer they are frozen). Enjoy!

Yield Makes one 9x5" cake

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup raw pecans
1½ cups chilled heavy cream
1 tsp. powdered sugar
⅔ cup peach jam or preserves
½ tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
30 Ritz crackers
½ pint butter pecan ice cream, softened at room temperature until pliable

Steps:

  • Line a 9x5" loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Chill pan until ready to use. Toast pecans in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant and slightly darkened, 5-8 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop; set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Place jam in a medium bowl and whisk to loosen, then gently mix in half of the whipped cream. Mix vanilla and salt into plain whipped cream.
  • Scoop half of vanilla whipped cream into prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer. Arrange a layer of crackers on top, breaking or cutting to fit as needed. Add half of peach whipped cream, smooth into an even layer, and top with another layer of crackers. Dollop ice cream across top and smooth into an even layer. Add a third layer of crackers, followed by remaining peach whipped cream. Repeat with a fourth layer of crackers and finally spread remaining vanilla whipped cream over (don't worry if it's a little higher than edges of pan). Scatter reserved pecans on top. Cover with plastic overhang and freeze until set, at least 6 hours.
  • To serve, using plastic overhang, unmold cake (if it's hesitant to come out, run the sides of the pan under warm water for a few seconds to loosen) and cut into slices. Do ahead: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.

BEST EVER VANILLA ICE CREAM



Best Ever Vanilla Ice Cream image

This ice cream is technically a custard since it contains eggs. After lots of testing (and tasting), I've found that eggs are the key to making a smooth and creamy ice cream at home that rivals what you can get at a premium ice cream shop. -Peggy Woodward, Taste of Home Senior Food Editor

Categories     Desserts

Time 40m

Yield 4.5 cups.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups 2% milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 vanilla bean
6 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • In a large heavy saucepan, combine cream, milk, sugar and salt. Split vanilla bean in half lengthwise. With a sharp knife, scrape seeds into pan; add bean. Heat cream mixture over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan, stirring to dissolve sugar. , In a small bowl, whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into the egg yolks; return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook over low heat until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon and temperature reaches 180°, stirring constantly. Do not allow to boil. Immediately transfer to a bowl. , Place bowl in a pan of ice water. Stir gently and occasionally for 2 minutes; discard vanilla bean. Press waxed paper onto surface of mixture. Refrigerate several hours or overnight., Fill cylinder of ice cream maker two-thirds full; freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. (Refrigerate remaining mixture until ready to freeze.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the ice cream will be. Use real vanilla extract, not imitation vanilla flavoring. And use fresh, cold cream and milk.
  • Chill your ingredients before you start. This will help the ice cream freeze faster and smoother.
  • Don't overbeat the ice cream. Overbeating will make the ice cream tough and grainy.
  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving. This will give it time to firm up and develop its full flavor.
  • Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
  • Serve the ice cream with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include chocolate syrup, sprinkles, whipped cream, and fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Vanilla ice cream with Ritz crackers is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a special celebration.
