Ingredients
1 pint superpremium vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
1 cup finely crushed peppermint hard candies (1/4 lb)
16 chocolate wafers such as Nabisco Famous
Special Equipment:
a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop
Preparation
Stir together ice cream (reserve pint container), extract and 1/2 cup crushed candy in a bowl until combined. Transfer mixture to pint container and freeze until just firm enough to scoop, about 1 hour.
Working very quickly, scoop ice cream onto flat sides of 8 wafers (1 scoop per wafer), then top with remaining 8 wafers, flat sides down. Wrap each sandwich individually with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
Unwrap sandwiches and roll edges in remaining 1/2 cup crushed candy. Rewrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
