ICE CREAM PIZZA

1 baked choco-mocha round cookie, left in pan
1 litre of vanilla ice cream, softened
Lyons chocolate dessert sauce
Lyons white chocolate dessert sauce
Wilton toffee cupcake crunch

Spread the ice cream on the prepared cookie.
Freeze until firm. Drizzle the chocolate sauce, then the white chocolate sauce, then sprinkle the crunch on top.

To serve, loosen the ice cream from around the pan with the dull edge of a knife. Lift out the pizza, peel off the parchment, and place on a platter.

FOR ICE CREAM SANDWICHES:

After baking your dough, allow it to cool for three to five minutes. Use the Tovolo cookie sleeve to cut desired shapes, cutting two cookies for each sandwich. Allow the cookies to cool completely.

Attach the base to the bottom of the cookie sleeve. Slide one cookie into the base.

Place one scoop of ice cream into the sleeve and on top of the cookie. Place a second cookie of the same shape on top of the ice cream, and press down with the corresponding pusher. For best results, freeze in the sleeve for a couple of minutes.

Remove the base from the mold. Use your thumbs to push the complete ice cream sandwich out.
