Miso Caramel Apple Ice Cream Sandwich

Sweet caramel, a touch of savory miso, crisp apple, and creamy Syrian Date & Walnut ice cream — the fall combo you didn’t know you needed. 🍂

Crisp, chewy, sweet, and just a little bit salty — this dessert takes everything cozy about fall and wraps it between two cookies.

Ingredients

For the Miso Caramel:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (warm)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp white miso paste
  • Pinch of sea salt

For the Apples:

  • 1 large apple (Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

For Assembly:

  • Adirondack Creamery Syrian Date & Walnut Ice Cream
  • 12 soft oatmeal or brown sugar cookies, or biscuits
  • Extra miso caramel for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Make the miso caramel: In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in warm cream (it will bubble!). Stir in butter, miso paste, and salt until smooth. Let cool completely.
  2. Caramelize the apples: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook 5–6 minutes, until tender and lightly golden. Let cool.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Scoop Syrian Date & Walnut Ice Cream onto one cookie. Spoon a little caramelized apple and a drizzle of miso caramel on top. Press a second cookie gently to sandwich it together.
  4. Freeze to set: Place sandwiches on a parchment-lined tray and freeze at least 1 hour before serving.
  5. Serve and savor: Drizzle with more miso caramel if you dare — this one’s rich, decadent, and impossible to forget.

The result: Sweet meets savory. Apple meets indulgence. A dessert that might just be the world’s most luxurious ice cream sandwich.
