Instructions
For the Port Wine Ice Cream:
- Put the port in a small sauce pot and simmer until reduced to ¼ cup of liquid.
- Combine the ¼ cup of reduced wine, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk in a mixer.
- Whip the mixture together until the whisk leaves trails of soft peaks.
- Pour into a freezer safe container and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
For the Salted Chocolate Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream the butter and both sugars together until creamy in a mixer.
- Add the egg, vanilla, baking soda, salt and mix until incorporated.
- Add the flour in about four different batches and mix until incorporated.
- Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Divide the dough into 14 pieces and place on a lined sheet tray. (I used an ice cream scoop) Sprinkle with additional sea salt.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Allow to cool (if you have that kind of patience) and then assemble in to sandwiches with the ice cream. Enjoy right away!
