Ice Cream Sheet Cake Food

ICE CREAM SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Make room in your freezer for a 9" x 13" baking dish**. Set out your vanilla ice cream at room temperature.
• Place the entire package of Oreos into a food processor and pulse until cookies form a fine crumb. Drizzle in the homemade magic shell until cookies are moist. Set aside.
• Once your vanilla ice cream has sat out about 15 minutes, pour it into a large bowl and stir it with a large spatula to smooth it out. Once it is smooth and easily stirred, pour it into your baking dish. Spread the ice cream evenly into the bottom of the baking dish, making sure to fill in any holes and push ice cream into the very corners of your dish.
• Sprinkle the cookie crumbs evenly over the vanilla layer, making sure to break up large cookie clusters with your fingers. Once you have used up all of the cookie crumbs, place baking sheet in the freezer to firm up, about 20 minutes. Set out your chocolate ice cream at this time.
• Repeat step 4 with the chocolate ice cream, spreading the ice cream evenly over the cookie layer. Allow to set in the freezer, about 20 minutes.
• While you wait for the cake to freeze, make your homemade whipped cream topping. Set aside until ready to use.
• When your cake is firm, use a spatula to smooth the whipped cream topping over the chocolate ice cream layer. Decorate with sprinkles if desired. Allow to freeze completely in the freezer at least 12 hours, preferably 1 day. When you are ready to serve the cake, allow to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes and use a very sharp knife to cut. Cover leftovers and store in the freezer up to 1 month.

ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 17-inch sheet pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment or waxed paper.
• Sift together the 3 cups sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Transfer to a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or use a hand mixer) and blend briefly. Whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl and add to the dry ingredients and mix at low speed for 5 minutes. Gradually add the hot water, mixing at low speed just until combined. The batter will be quite thin. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay) and the center feels firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan. Chill, covered, until ready to build the cake. Make room in your freezer for a serving platter that you'll build the cake on.
• Place a piece of parchment over the entire cake and flip it out onto another sheet pan. Peel off the original parchment and cut the cake in half so you have 2 pieces 13 by 8 1/2 inches. Place a piece of cake on a rectangular serving platter and schmear the ice cream on it all the way to the edges. Smooth it out with an offset spatula and place back in the freezer.
• After it has chilled 15 minutes or so place the second layer of cake on top, cover with parchment paper and press down with a sheet pan gently to stick the top layer. Return to the freezer while you make the chocolate topping.
• In a small saucepan, heat the 1 cup of cream and once it comes to a boil pour it over the chopped semisweet chocolate and whisk to make a smooth ganache. Do the same with the remaining 1/2 cup of cream and the white chocolate, adding the mint extract and green coloring to make a light mint green color then place it in small pastry bag with a small plain tip.
• Remove the cake from the freezer and working quickly spread the chocolate ganache over the surface of the cake smoothing it with an offset spatula.
• Drizzle lines of the green ganache over the entire surface of the cake at diagonal. Take a toothpick and run it back and forth in the opposite direction to draw it through the ganache and make decorative pattern.
• Return to the freezer until ready to serve. Trim off the edges to even off the cake then cut into rectangle pieces.

STRIPED ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap. Place half the baked angel food cake in bottom of dish. Spread jam over top. Spread ice cream over jam. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• Spread raspberry sorbet over ice cream layer. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Spread peach sorbet over raspberry layer; top with remaining angel food cake. Wrap in plastic wrap; freeze overnight.
• Remove plastic from top of cake, and turn out cake onto a cutting board; unwrap, and trim edges. Slice cake, and serve immediately.

ICE-CREAM CAKE ROLL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F Coat a 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly-roll pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line bottom of pan with waxed paper. Spray paper.
• Stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for 5 minutes, until very light yellow. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract.
• Fold flour mixture into egg mixture until no lumps remain. Pour into prepared pan, spreading level. Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
• Dust a clean kitchen towel with confectioners' sugar. Turn cake out onto towel. Roll up towel and cake from short end; cool completely.
• Unroll; spread with softened ice cream to within 1 inch of edges. Reroll cake without towel; wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight. If frozen overnight, let stand at room temperature 20 minutes before serving. To serve, carefully remove plastic wrap and drizzle cake with chocolate syrup.
