Ice Cream Puff

Method

Ice Cream Puff

  1. 1

    Prepare the Puff Pastry

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares.

  2. 2

    Bake the Puff Pastry

    Place the pastry squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  3. 3

    Fill with Ice Cream

    Once the puff pastry is cool, gently split each square in half to create a top and bottom. Scoop 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream onto each bottom half, then place the top half back on.

  4. 4

    Dust with Powdered Sugar

    Sift powdered sugar over the top of each puff pastry filled with ice cream before serving.

Hot Fudge Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined.

  2. 6

    Cook the Sauce

    Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.

  3. 7

    Add Vanilla Extract

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the hot fudge sauce cool slightly before serving.
