Maxibon

While I was in Spain Chris developed rather a fetish for the icecream treat 'Maxibon'. So I thought lets try and make a home made one in dedication to him.

After a quick dash around Sainsburys I had the necessary ingredients to get started:

• Chocolate,
• Chocolate drops 162g
• Soft Brown Sugar 100g
• Butter 85g
• Eggs 1
• Plain flour 125g
• Bicarbonate of soda 1/2 tsp
• Vanilla essence 1/2tsp
• Cookie dough Ice cream
• Crushed almonds
• A pinch of salt

I started by melting the chocolate over warm water and added the chopped almonds. Then giving them a good mix until they were evening spreed out.

I them Spread the mixture over a tray and placed it into the freezer to set. Also preheating the oven to 170 C / Gas mark 3 and lining the baking tray with parchment.

I creamed together the  butter, brown sugar and caster sugar until well blended.

Then I added the beaten egg until light and creamy and added the vanilla essence.

Folding in the flour and Bicarb until just blended.

Finally I stirred in the chocolate chips. I had to eat a few along the way and of course lick the bowl, chefs treats obvi!!! 

I spread the mixture over the baking parchment and pop it into the oven for 20mins abouts. I can't tell you how yummy it smelt.

Taking it out the oven and leaving to cool came next, but once everything was chilled and set. I began to build or more like sculpt. 

I then cut even shapes out of the chocolate slap and worlds biggest cookie, and whipping out the ice cream I sandwiched it between my cookies and chocolate.

100% indulgent, devilishly naughty and oh so yummy. Bon appetite.
