Instructions:
1. Make the Biscuits:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it in the fridge for about 15 minutes (this helps the dough firm up and makes it easier to roll out).
After chilling, roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out biscuit shapes (about 2 to 3 inches wide).
Place the cut-out biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack.
2. Prepare the Tiramisu Ice Cream Filling:
In a bowl, gently stir the softened vanilla ice cream and mascarpone cheese (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Mix in the brewed coffee, coffee liqueur (or rum, if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until fully incorporated.
3. Assemble the Tiramisu Ice Cream Biscuits:
Once the biscuits have cooled, take one biscuit and spread a generous layer of the tiramisu ice cream mixture on the flat side of the biscuit. Top with another biscuit to make a sandwich.
Repeat with the remaining biscuits and ice cream mixture.
4. Freeze the Biscuits:
Place the assembled tiramisu ice cream biscuits on a baking sheet or plate, and freeze them for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) to allow the ice cream to firm up.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Before serving, dust the tops of the tiramisu ice cream biscuits with cocoa powder for that signature tiramisu finish.
Serve them chilled, and enjoy the indulgent flavors of tiramisu with a cool, creamy twist!
Tips for Success:
Make It Ahead: These ice cream biscuits can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for several days, making them perfect for a party or a quick dessert.
Customizing the Ice Cream: If you prefer a more traditional tiramisu flavor, you can swap the vanilla ice cream with a coffee-flavored ice cream or even make your own mascarpone ice cream.
Biscuit Variations: For extra flavor, you could brush the biscuits lightly with coffee syrup or espresso before assembling the ice cream sandwiches.
Perfect for Hot Days: These tiramisu ice cream biscuits are a great way to enjoy the rich taste of tiramisu without heating up the kitchen!
