Cookie Explosion Ice Cream Cake Food

ITALIAN RAINBOW COOKIE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Cut the cookies to form 1-by-1-by-1/2-inch squares. Line a 9-inch springform pan with plastic wrap. Arrange the cookie squares all the way around the sides of the pan with the color lines running perpendicular to the bottom of the pan. Repeat with an additional ring of cookies above the first ring, lining up the colors as much as possible, so the cookies come 2 inches up the sides of the pan and almost completely cover them.
• Lay one cookie square in the middle of the bottom of the pan. Arrange a second cookie square next to it, with the color lines perpendicular to the color lines in the first cookie. Continue arranging cookie squares to create a parquet floor pattern. Fill the bottom of the pan with cookies, cutting some to fill in any odd-shaped areas. Chill until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Combine the chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted, about 2 minutes. Using a pastry brush, coat the cookies on the bottom and sides with a thin layer of chocolate. Chill until set, about 5 minutes.
• Spread one of the pints of vanilla ice cream in an even layer over the chocolate-coated bottom cookies. Freeze until hard, about 1 hour. Spread the chocolate ice cream in an even layer over the vanilla. Freeze until hard, about 1 hour. Spread the remaining pint of vanilla ice cream in an even layer over the chocolate ice cream. Cover with the remaining cookie pieces. Freeze until solid, 6 hours to overnight.
• When ready to serve, invert the cake onto a plate so the bottom layer of cookies is on the top. Remove the pan and peel off the plastic wrap. Cut with a hot dry knife.

STRAWBERRY AND COOKIE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• For the crushed cookie crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment.
• Combine the melted butter with the wafer cookies in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely before using.
• For the ice cream cake: Toss the strawberries with the sugar in a medium bowl and then layer them onto the cookie crust. Scoop the cookies and cream and strawberry ice creams onto the berry layer, packing it in tightly and alternating the scoops to create a marbled or checkerboard effect. Spread with an offset spatula to make a smooth top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Unmold the cake by running a knife around the edge, then unhinge the springform and remove. Invert the cake onto a sheet of plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment. Place a plate on the bottom and invert once more.
• For the whipped cream frosting: Add the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla to a large bowl and whip with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. (This makes enough frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake with additional to pipe decorations if desired.)
• Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream frosting, sprinkle with the wafer cookies. If the cake begins to get too soft, put it back into the freezer for a few minutes.
• Freeze another 1 1/2 to 2 hours or overnight. Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

BIRTHDAY EXPLOSION CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft, light, and creamy, 5-6 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating between each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed until well incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to incorporate.
• Alternate adding the milk and dry ingredients a little at a time, starting and ending with the flour. Beat until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions. Do not overmix.
• Evenly divide the batter between 6 small bowls, about 1 cup each. Dye each bowl with one color of food coloring.
• Grease 6 6-inch round cake pans, or as many as you have, with nonstick spray. Add each color cake batter to a prepared baking pan (working in batches if needed) and tap the pans on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then flip onto a wire rack and let cool for another 15 minutes.
• While the cakes bake, make the vanilla simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and vanilla and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and transfer the syrup to a heatproof container. Let cool completely.
• Make the cheesecake buttercream: Add the cream cheese and butter to a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat to incorporate.Gradually sift in the powdered sugar and continue beating until fully incorporated. If the frosting seems too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Transfer about 2 cups of frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Set the remaining frosting aside in the bowl.
• Assemble the cake: Brush the cakes with the vanilla simple syrup.
• Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to remove the centers from each cake layer, except the red cake.
• Set the 6-inch cardboard cake round on a turntable and pipe a dab of frosting onto the round. Place the purple cake on top of the board. Pipe buttercream around the top and top with the blue cake. Repeat with the green, yellow, and orange cakes. Fill the center of the cake with the assorted sprinkles, then top with the red cake.
• Use an offset spatula to lightly frost the entire cake with the reserved buttercream to create a crumb coat. Transfer to the freezer to firm up, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the cake from the freezer and evenly frost the entire cake with a thick layer of buttercream.
• Carefully hold the cake over a container or baking dish (to catch any fallen sprinkles) and coat the entire cake with the nonpareil sprinkles. (If you're having trouble getting the sprinkles to stick, brush the frosting with a bit of the simple syrup and try again.)
• Slice the cake and watch the sprinkles rush out.
• Enjoy!
