Mint Slice Ice Creams
Makes 10
You will need a 20cm square tin for this recipe
Ingredients
Melted butter, to grease tin
1 packet Malt-O-Milk biscuits
2 x tubs Harry’s Ice Cream Co. Peppermint Brownie, at room temperature
200g dark chocolate melts
Assorted mint chocolates, finely chopped, to decorate (we used Mint Patties, Peppermint Crisp and Mint Aero)

Line the base of the tin with Malt-O-Milk biscuits (you may need to cut some to fit your tin).
Spoon the softened ice cream on top of the biscuits and use a spatula to gently spread the ice cream to an even layer. Top with remaining biscuits and freeze at least 4 hours until firm.
Use the excess baking paper to carefully lift the slice from the tin. Use a large knife to cut the slice into individual rectangles, using the top biscuits as a guide. Return rectangles to the freezer while you prepare the chocolate.
Place the chocolate melts into a microwave-safe container and microwave on high in 30-second bursts until melted.
Working quickly, dip each rectangle a little into the chocolate, scraping off any excess, then sprinkle with your choice of mint chocolates to decorate. Return to freezer until chocolate has set then serve.

Mars Bar Pierogi
Makes about 35
Ingredients
1 large egg
1 tbsp sour cream
90ml water
125ml full cream milk
2 tbsp cacao powder 2 tbsp caster sugar
2 1/2 cups plain flour, plus extra to dust
Pinch of sea salt
Grapeseed (or other neutral, high smoke-point) oil, to fry
Harry’s Ice Cream Co. Salted Caramel Fudge icecream, to serve
FILLING
350g firm ricotta
6 Mars Bars
Method
Whisk together egg, sour cream, water and milk. Combine the wet ingredients with cacao, sugar and flour with a pinch of salt in a stand mixer fitted with dough hook and knead on low for 5 mins (you can also do this step by hand, knead dough for 8-10 mins or until smooth and elastic).
Roll dough into a smooth ball, place onto a clean surface and cover with a clean tea towel and allow to rest for one hour.
To prepare the filling, chop up 4 of the Mars Bars and microwave on high for 1 minute (do this in 20-second bursts, stirring regularly) until melted. Combine with ricotta and stir really well. Finely chop up the remaining Mars Bars and stir through the ricotta mixture.
Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Using extra flour to dust the dough and pasta machine, roll each portion, stepping down each thickness setting until you reach the third-last thickness. Repeat with remaining dough portions.
Use an 8cm round cookie-cutter to cut 35 rounds from the pasta sheets (you may need to gather scraps and re-roll some of the dough). Spoon 1 tbsp of the filling into the centre of each disc then fold over to form a moon shape and firmly press together the edges to encase the filling.
Boil a large saucepan of water. Boil pierogi, 6-8 at a time, until they float to the surface. Remove from water before deep frying 1-2 mins until crispy.
Serve with a generous scoop of Harry’s Ice Cream Co. Salted Caramel Fudge icecream.
