| 1. This recipe makes 20 flat cookies, when sandwiched together you will have ten dessert. | 2. Preheat oven to 225°F. | 3. Line baking sheets with foil, then butter and flour foil. | 4. Combine 1 cup pecans, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor. Process finely. | 5. Add the 1/4 cup chopped chocolate and another 1 cup pecans. Chop just until nuts are coarsley chopped. This is about 8 pulses only. | 6. Remove and set aside adding in the coffee crystals at this time to the dry mixture. | 7. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar, until soft peaks. | 8. Gradually add 1/2 cup brown sugar, beating until very stiff. | 9. This should take three to four minutes. | 10. Fold in the nut-coffee dry mixture. | 11. The crystals should not dissolve. | 12. Drop batter by scant tablespoons onto sheet, spacing evenly, and getting 20 cookies. This might take two baking sheets. | 13. Lightly press a pecan halve onto each cookie. | 14. Bake at 225° for 55 minutes, or until dry. | 15. If using two baking sheets and at the same time, switch racks and rotate sheets back to front for even baking. | 16. Cool completely on sheets. Transfer to wire rack to cool. | 17. Place one tablespoon of coffee ice cream on 1 cookie flat bottom side. | 18. Place second cookie flat side down on top of filling. | 19. Press lightly and place on a baking sheet. | 20. Freeze until firm, about one hour. | 21. Melt the last 3 ounces of chopped chocolate over simmering water, stirring until smooth. | 22. Remove cookies and drizzle over the now made frozen ice cream sandwiches. | 23. Cover and freeze. | 24. These can be made two days ahead of serving. | 25. I have also cooked down sweetened condensed milk in the can to a slice caramel and used in place of the ice cream, and serves on a plate with fresh strawberries, and a plate drizzle of strawberry sauce and fresh sprig of mint. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
