Ginger Chocolate, Ice Cream Sandwiches #IceCreamWeek

As a child I loved ice cream sandwiches. In these Paleolithic in terms of food, meant the vanilla ice cream between two chocolate bars with artificial flavor Klemmt.

To #IceCreamWeek 2014 I decided my Ice Cream Sandwich through layers of sweet chocolate, sprinkled update about half the thickness of a normal chocolate cake and ice cream from vanilla-infused base with ginger and crystallized ginger pieces.

These sandwiches are not boxes of my childhood dreams of icy precision cutting. Instead, it is a rustic, sigh worthy adult dessert. If ice cream sandwiches are not your cup of tea, bake brownies in a single layer (cook a little longer than the 30 minutes allotted) and subjected to a scoop of ice cream with ginger. You will lose the thrill of catching drops on Ice Cream Sandwich, but always the excitement of the combination of chocolate and ginger.
