4 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons peach schnapps*
2 1/4 cups milk*
2 2/3 cups heavy cream
8 large egg yolks
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For cookies:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large egg whites, room temperature
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon minced crystallized ginger*
Make ice cream: bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath; set aside.
Place peaches in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon, and cool in ice-water bath.
Peel and pit peaches, reserving skin and pits. Slice each peach into 10 wedges, place in a nonreactive saucepan, and stir in lemon juice and 2 tablespoons sugar.

Looks like Yum and I are not the only 2 people who are crazy about ice cream sandwiches this summer. When I went for cocktails and tapas at Two last Friday with my gal pals we ordered the trio of ice cream sandwiches. They were delicioso!

I like to buy chocolate graham crackers (you can substitute cinnamon as well) and fat free cool whip. Break the graham cracker in half, ccoop cool whip on to one half of the cracker, and make a little sandwich. Put them in the freezer for a few hours and--voila--mini ice cream sandwiches.

A friend of mine is a huge fan of celebrating special occasions with a big, potluck-style barbecue. But since someone has to get stuck manning the grill, and late-comers are greeted with unappetizingly cold food, she decided to do something a little different for her birthday this year and host a backyard sandwich party. Guests were invited to make sandwiches to share, or to bring chips, beer, or just an appetite for sandwiches.
