This is a very simple but fancy looking shortbread sandwich which is very versatile. You can make a bittersweet chocolate filling, or a white chocolate filling…heaps of options. Found this recipe in Donna Hay’s “dining” cookbook.
This is also a variation of Belgian “bread pudding” using more tasty ingredients. It is a dense type bread/pudding, and is always the competitor to the Aalster Vlaai which is another town really close to Ninove Belgium

I found this recipe on a blog and wanted to put it here for safekeeping, haven’t tried it yet, but it looks really yummy. The Belgian Pearl sugar can be purchased at Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Lars-Own-Belgian-Pearl-Sugar/dp/B001LDAE4C. Waffle iron temp is the key it seems to get the sugar to carmelize without burning.
This is a really easy ice cream to whip up and one that I make every Christmas to go with the Christmas pudding and with my annual Rumtopf or Brandied Cherries and Apricots. You can make it in an ice cream maker if you have one, but as it is a non-custard base ice cream, it works just as well without an ice cream maker. It lasts for one month in the freezer and is a great addition to the summer dining table too!
