This is a recipe I've just put together in my mind with a few other inspiration recipes that led to this combo...

Coffee Ice Cream Sandwich

Per Person:

2 store bought Choc Chip BISCUITS (we want hard crunchy biscuits not chewy cookies)
1 Tablespoon of Hazelnut Spread
1 Scoop of VERY GOOD QUALITY Vanilla Bean Ice cream
1 shot of hot coffee sweetened with 1/2 tsp sugar
1 Tablespoon Freshly Whipped Cream (can be sweetened with a tsp icing sugar and a dash of vanilla)
Roasted Slivered Almonds
Cocoa for Dusting

This is the PERFECT dinner party "Wow!" dessert.

1. Take your Cookies and using half a tablespoon coat each underside of the cookie with the hazelnut spread. Pop the coated cookies in the freezer spread side up.
2. Take your ice cream out of the freezer to soften slightly.
3. Once softened remove biscuits from freezer and put one scoop between the cookies (nutella side touching the ice cream). Then give a little squish to sandwich together and pop back into the freezer.

When you are ready to serve put your ice cream sandwich in a wide mouthed teacup (or ramekin) and pour the sweetened espresso shot overtop. Allow the coffee to absorb into the biscuit and melt the ice cream a little. Top with whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa and a sprinkle of almonds and serve.
