Ingredients
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 150 g soft brown sugar
- 50 g caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 220 g plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarb soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- Chocolate, pistachio and strawberry ice-creams, softened in stages (you'll need approximately 650-700 ml of each flavour)
Chilling time: 15 minutes; Freezing time: about 12 hours in total
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook the butter, swirling occasionally, until it turns hazelnut brown, then remove from the heat. Set aside to cool until the pan is cool enough to touch, then whisk in the sugars, egg and milk.
- Preheat the oven to 170˚C fan-forced (190˚C conventional). Sift the flour and bicarb soda into a large bowl and add the salt. Pour the butter mixture into the flour and fold in to combine. Cover and rest the dough in fridge for 15 minutes. Use a small ice cream scoop to put mounds of dough onto a lined baking tray (or measure about 2 tbsp (50 g) of dough). Press a few sesame seeds into half of the balls (these will be the tops of the “buns”), and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden. You should have 12 cookies in total, to make 6 cookie burgers.
- While still warm, use a round cookie cutter to trim and shape the cookies into perfectly round cookies. Cool completely.
- Line a 20 cm x 30 cm x 3 cm lamington pan. Layer the softened ice cream in the tray one flavour at a time, freezing between each addition, in order of chocolate, pistachio, strawberry. Each layer will be about 1 cm high. Freeze for an hour between each addition.
- Line another baking tray. Using the same cooking cutter, lightly grease it with vegetable oil. From the layered ice cream cut 6 cookie-sized pucks, place on lined tray and freeze until solid. These form the “burger” filling.
- Sandwich the ice cream pucks between two cookies – a plain one for the base and one with sesame seeds for the top. Serve immediately or freeze (see Note).
Note
The completed “burgers” can be made in advance and kept in the freezer.
