Name: Coconut-Macaroon and Lemon Ice Cream Sandwiches
Cook time: 45 minutes
Total time: 4 1/4 hours
Yield: Makes 9 sandwiches
Ingredients: 2 cups heavy cream; 1 cup sugar, divided; 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest; 4 large egg yolks; 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 4 large egg whites; 1/4 cup sugar; 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 1/8 teaspoon salt; 1 (7-ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut (2 2/3 cups); Equipment: an ice cream maker; a 3-inch round cookie cutter (without handle) or an entremet (pastry) ring

This chilly treat may well make your freezer more popular than the neighborhood ice cream truck. The lemony ice cream center is a bright contrast to the surrounding chewy coconut macaroons — and the sandwiches are easily held by eager little hands.

Cooks' notes:

· For a perfectly shaped macaroon, spread coconut mixture in cookie cutter, then lift off cutter. · Ice cream sandwiches can be made 3 days ahead.
