Friends of Montclair Library

Oakland author Jennie Schacht will discuss her new book, I Scream Sandwich!: Inspired Recipes for the Ultimate Frozen Treat, on Tuesday, July 16 at 6pm at the Montclair Library.

This unique cookbook includes 40 recipes that redefine this hugely popular dessert from the traditional (chocolate chip ice cream on cookie dough) to the exotic (Kaffir lime and lemongrass sorbet on five-spice cookies). With easy instructions, Ms. Schacht offers many tips for creating unique sandwiches using ingredients like frozen yogurt, cakes, brioche, brownies and bars — even gluten- and dairy-free options! Audience members will also be treated to a free ice cream sandwich at the conclusion of this event!

Ms. Schacht is a culinary writer and consultant whose previous titles include Farmers’ Market Desserts and The Wine Lover’s Dessert Cookbook. Copies of her books will be available for purchase.
