Recipe from NPR.
[edit] Ingredients
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon strawberry jam
- 10 cream-filled chocolate cookies (Oreos)
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
[edit] Preparation
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the vinegar and jam. Simmer, stirring often, until reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, place the cookies in a zip-close plastic bag and gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to break into small chunks. Set aside.
- Once the vinegar has cooled, soften the ice cream by microwaving it in 5-second bursts until easily mixed with a spoon. It should be soft, but not melted. Transfer the ice cream to a medium bowl.
- Drizzle the vinegar into the ice cream and mix until blended. Mix in the cookies. Cover the ice cream and return to the freezer until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
