This Thai ice cream dessert recipe puts a literal spin on the concept of an ice cream sandwich. To prepare, although you could go the easy route of buying a pre-made ice cream in a tub, the recipe from chef Pichet Ong also details how to make your own from a base of coconut milk and sugar.
The entire dessert dish is served open-faced on an hot dog bun and is topped with an unusual mix of ingredients, including canned corn, seeds, nuts, crushed chocolate chip cookies, fruit and a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk. Although the look and flavors of this Thai-inspired recipe could work as either a lunch snack or a dessert, it offers a refreshing way to cool off at any time of the day.
