- Sift together the pastry flour and 15 g Guittard High Fat 22/24% Natural Cocoa Powder.
- Combine the egg whites and granulated sugar, and whisk with an electric mixer to form medium peaks.
- Folk 1/3 of the whites into the yolk mixture at a time, followed by the flour mixture and melted butter. Spread onto a half-sheet pan that is lined with a silicone baking mat.
- Bake at 380°F/193°C for about 15 minutes.
Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies
- Sift together the flour, 43 g Guittard Dark 10/12% Dutched Cocoa Powder, baking soda and salt.
- Fit a paddle attachment on an electric mixer, and cream together the butter and sugar. Add the oil and continue mixing until slightly pale. Add the egg yolks and 5 g Prova Gourmet Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract and mix thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating it with milk in two additions and mixing until completely blended.
- Roll the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8" thick. Freeze the dough, cut desired shape, then free again before peeling back opposite side of parchment paper to release the dough.
- Bake on parchment paper or silicone baking mat at 350°F/176°C in convection oven for about 12 minutes.
Caramel Coulis

- Emulsify with an immersion blender.
- Cast into desired mold.
Assembly
- Choose a silicone mold shape for the finished sandwiches.
- Cut the jaconde 10% smaller than your mold size. Apply caramel coulis to the jaconde with a spatula, creating an insert; blast freeze.
- Pipe gelato halfway up the side of the mold and top with the jaconde-caramel insert.
- Cap with gelato as needed. Blast freeze.
- Remove the gelato from the mold and apply pre-baked cookies. Place into a freezer for at least 24 hours, allowing the cookies to soften slightly before enjoying.
