Carrot Walnut Ice Cream Sandwiches

  • 1 Cup Butter softened
  • 1 Cup sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 cups carrot grated
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter slightly softened
  • 6 tablespoons cream cheese slightly softened
  • 1 Cup confectioner's sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 1 1/2 cups walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Make the carrot cookies: preheat oven to 375°F. Grease cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar until very light and fluffy. Add egg and orange zest; beat well.
  • Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Alternately add dry ingredients and grated carrots to creamed butter mixture. Mix to form a dough. Cover bowl and chill for about 30 minutes.
  • Scoop dough onto prepared cookie sheets, about 2 heaping tablespoons per cookie. Pat down until about 1/4-inch thick. Bake for 15 minutes or until light brown around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Chill until ready to assemble.
  • Make the cream cheese frosting: whip butter and cream cheese together in a bowl using a whisk or rubber spatula. Slowly add confectioners’ sugar until well incorporated.
  • Add vanilla extract and mix to combine. Whip until color becomes lighter. Chill until ready to assemble.
  • To assemble, take the ice cream out of the freezer and set aside for a few minutes until softened. Place chopped walnuts on a plate. Prepare rectangular pieces of foil to individually wrap ice cream sandwiches.
     
  • Spread a thin layer of cream cheese frosting on the flat side of a cookie. Scoop ice cream on top of the frosting.
     
  • Top with another cookie and flatten a little until the ice cream reaches the edges. Smoothen out the edges with a spatula, if desired. Roll in chopped walnuts. Wrap in foil and freeze for about an hour before serving.


    TIP: The carrot cookie dough can be made ahead and frozen for up to 1 month.
