The wait is over! Today is the launch of Disney+ and with that, the premiere episode of the first live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian!
Fans will finally get a look at the mysterious gunfighter’s adventures firsthand. While you take in every detail of the debut episode, you can also get in on the action yourself by making Mando Ice Cream Sandos to enjoy while you watch: two silvery sugar cookies that look just like the Mandalorians’s helmet, with your favorite flavor of ice cream in between. Sounds delicious. Don’t you agree?
You won’t need to invoke the Mandalorian code when you hand these out — there’s more than enough of these tasty treats to go around.
Mando Ice Cream Sandos
You’ll need:
- 1 Mandalorian helmet template
- Edible silver spray
- Black icing
- Ice cream
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Black food gel dye
Step 1: In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2: In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until combined.
Step 3: Add the egg, vanilla, and a small amount of black food gel dye.
Step 4: Slowly add in the dry ingredients just until the dough comes together, and turns gray in color.
Step 5: Split the dough into two and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill until you are ready to use.
Step 6: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with silpats or parchment paper.
Step 7: Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use the template to cut out the shapes. Add helmet details with the back of a knife. Transfer the dough onto the prepped baking sheets.
Step 8: Bake for 10 minutes, let cool on a wire rack.
Step 9: Once cooled, spray with edible spray. Let set.
Step 10: When the spray has set, use a #3 tip and black icing to add the visor detail. Let dry.
Step 11: Place a scoop of ice cream onto the flat side of a cookie. Place a second cookie on top to sandwich.
Step 12: Serve immediately or freeze for later. (We don’t recommend carbon freezing in this instance.)
