Happy Mothers Day !
I hope everyone had a great Mothers day. I sure did. For Mother's Day Billy gave me 2 really pretty hanging baskets and Cally gave me 3 pots and a bunch of flowers for my front porch. Cally and I planted the pots tonight and they are gorgeous.
Bill also finished my fire pit and we also now have grass in the area where the pool was. Bill and I broke in the fire pit last night. Bill bought me a bottle of wine and we sat out by the fire and enjoyed our evening.
I bought myself a new baking pan. It is an ice cream sandwich pan. You can see the pan above, I was putting ice cream in the pan to make my ice cream the size of the sandwiches. It ended up just being easier to put a scoop of ice cream on the cookies and then mashing them together. This pan is by Wilton. I used the recipe on the back of the package. It has a recipe for both brownie ice cream sandwiches and Blondie ice cream sandwiches. The recipe says it makes 12 but I only got 9 out of my batter.
Blondie Ice Cream Sandwiches
from Wilton
1 1/2 C flour
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/2 C melted butter
1/2 C sugar
1/4 C brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
ice cream
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray pan with vegetable pan spray. In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Whisk in sugars, eggs and vanilla, mix well. Add flour mixture, mix until blended. Spoon 2 T of batter into each pan cavity, spreading evenly.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until toothpick inserted at an angle toward center comes out clean. Immediately unmold blondies onto cooling racks. Repeat with remaining batter.
Scoop about 1/4 C ice cream onto smooth side of half of the blondies. Top with remaining blondies, pressing gently. If desired, roll edges of sandwich in toppings. Wrap and freeze immediately.
