Meera Sodha’s recipe for no-churn malted ice-cream and peanut cookie sandwiches | Meera Sodha recipes

Soft, creamy ice-cream – light on fuss and subtly salted with soy – sandwiched between peanut cookies: an all-round winner of a summer dessert

Hugh, my husband, has strong opinions about circles; he finds them satisfying to look at in any form of design. I thought he was odd until I spent some time with an ice-cream sandwich and found myself, like a car (or circle) enthusiast, fawning over the arcs and appreciating the loveliness of a double round cookie housing a cylinder of ice-cream. Unlike a car, however, you can eat the ice-cream cookie and rejoice in the crunch giving away to cold cream – and that, in my opinion, is proper satisfaction.
