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.

Melt chocolate and butter either in the microwave or a double boiler. (One water bath by cook 1-2 "of water in a small saucepan and fixing a container in the container so that the bottom of the bowl is the water. chocolate and butter in the bowl does not touch and gently Set the water boils below.) I have a microwave at 40% power for 2 minutes while stirring gently twice during melting.
- Mixing Add the eggs, vanilla, salt, coffee or instant espresso and sugar and beat for 10-15 minutes at high speed with a mixer until fluffy and thick. David says Lebovitz mass hardens, but I never, and it worked fine.

At least two pieces and hold when cooled brownie ice cream sandwiches in a day or two, or freeze, well packaged for later use.
