Ingredients

2 litres plain vanilla ice cream

small bunch mint leaves, finely sliced

100 g dark chocolate chips or drops

2 tsp peppermint essence

150 g butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

100 g dark chocolate, melted

1/4 cup cocoa

1 3/4 cups self-raising flour

Method

1.Semi-thaw the ice cream and transfer to a large bowl. Add the sliced mint leaves, chocolate chips and peppermint essence and mix well. Return to a freezer-proof container and freeze for at least 4 hours.

2.For the cookies, preheat the oven to 170°C. Beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy, add the egg and vanilla and beat well. Stir in the melted chocolate and sift over the combined cocoa and flour. Mix well.

3.Place tablespoons of mixture on lined baking trays and bake for 10-12 minutes or until just holding their shape but still soft in the centre. Allow to cool on the trays, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before sandwiching with chocolate and mint ice cream.
