Make Your Own Ice Cream Cake Food

EASY ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Place 8 of the ice cream sandwiches side by side in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread evenly with half of the hot fudge topping, then half of the whipped topping. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and toppings. Sprinkle with grated chocolate bar.
• Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving. Keep unused portion covered and frozen.

ICE CREAM BIRTHDAY CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9-in. round pan with plastic wrap. Spread ice cream into pan. Freeze 2 hours or until firm., Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions, using two 9-in. round baking pans. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely., Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes if domed. Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Invert ice cream onto cake layer; remove plastic wrap. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread whipped topping over top and sides of cake. Decorate with sprinkles as desired. Freeze 2 hours longer or until firm.

TWIX ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• In a 9x13 glass dish spread out the ice cream evenly. Cover and place in freezer. Freeze to set for 2 hours.
• While the ice cream is setting start making the cookie topping. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars in a medium bowl. Stir in vanilla and flour until well mixed. Spread dough into a foil-lined 8x8 baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes or slightly golden. Remove from heat and let stand until completely cooled.
• Once Ice cream is all set and cookie topping is completley cooled, take ice cream out of freezer. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over ice cream. Break apart the cookie topping into big chunks and sprinkle evenly over caramel.
• Melt chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl. Heat at 30 second intervals until melted. Stir and then drizzle over the cookie topping. Re-cover and place back into freezer for 6 hours or overnight to completely re-freeze. Slice into squares and serve.

EASY 5 LAYER ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, pulse the whole Oreos into a fine crumb. Stir the cookie crumbs and melted butter together, then press into a 9×13 pan. (No need to grease the pan prior.) Make sure it is very tightly packed-I use the back of a spatula to firmly press it in. Freeze for 15 minutes.
• During that time, place the softened chocolate ice cream in a bowl and give it a good stir to rid any frozen lumps. You want a nice smooth, soft ice cream. Spread it on top of the frozen crust. Freeze for 15-30 minutes. (Closer to 30 minutes is ideal.)
• During that time, place the 2nd ice cream flavor into a bowl and stir it until it is smooth and very soft. Carefully spread on top of the chocolate ice cream. Freeze for 15-30 minutes. (Closer to 30 minutes is ideal.)
• Make sure the hot fudge is spreadable consistency. You may have to slightly heat it if using store-bought. Spread it on top of the ice cream as best you can. Because it is not as cold as the ice cream layer, the two will slightly mix together as you spread. That's ok. Freeze for 15-30 minutes. (Closer to 30 minutes is ideal.)
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes. Spread on top of hot fudge layer, then top with sprinkles. Cover with aluminum foil and freeze for at least 12 hours before serving (and up to a few days).
• Use a very sharp knife to cut, making sure you are cutting into the crust. Keep leftovers in the freezer.

COPYCAT DAIRY QUEEN ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
• 2. Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter and stir until well combined. Spread the crumbs evenly onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• 3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then allow to cool. Use your fingers to break any big clumps into smaller ones. Set aside.
• 4. Line an 8×3 inch cake pan* with clear wrap that covers the bottom and goes above the sides of the cake pan. I used two pieces.
• 5. About 20 minutes before you need it, set the chocolate ice cream out to soften. Add the softened chocolate ice cream to the prepared cake pan and spread into an even layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• 6. To make the fudge layer, add the chocolate chips, corn syrup and vanilla extract to a medium sized bowl.
• 7. Heat the heavy whipping cream just until it begins to boil, then pour it over the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for 2-3 minutes, the whisk until smooth.
• 8. Remove the cake pan with the chocolate ice cream from the freezer, then pour the chocolate fudge over the ice cream and spread into an even layer. Freeze for about 10 minutes.
• 9. Add the cookie crumbles to the top of the fudge layer, then freeze for about 2 hours, until mostly firm.
• 10. About 20 minutes before you need it, set the vanilla ice cream out to soften. Add the vanilla ice cream to the top of the cake, then freeze until firm, 2-3 hours.
• 11. Use the clear wrap to lift the frozen cake out of the pan, then place it on a cardboard cake circle or a serving plate. Set it back in the freezer.
• 12. To make the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
• 13. Frost the cake with the whipped cream and decorate as desired. I used Ateco tip 844 for piping the borders.
• 14. Freeze the cake until ready to serve. Cake is best when stored well covered and eaten within 4-5 days.

BEST ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Reserve 8 chocolate sandwich cookies and place the remainder in the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely ground, about 1 minute. Drizzle in the butter then process the mixture until it is combined. Transfer to an 8-inch springform pan. Using a flat bottomed glass, press the crust firmly into the bottom of the pan and up the sides. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove 2 pints of chocolate-chocolate chip ice cream from the freezer and let it sit out until slightly softened, about 20 minutes. Scoop the softened ice cream into the crust. Press down with the back of a spoon to push out as many air bubbles as possible and smooth it into a flat layer. Place in the freezer for 2 hours.
• Dollop spoon-fulls of fudge all over the ice cream, then spread it with a spatula, leaving a ½-inch border around the edge. Take the remaining 8 oreos and break them apart into small pieces. Sprinkle them all over the fudge and press gently. Return the cake to the freezer for 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, remove 2 pints of coffee ice cream from the freezer and let it sit out until slightly softened, about 20 minutes. Scoop the softened ice cream all over the cookie layer. Press down with the back of a spoon to push out as many air bubbles as possible and smooth it into a flat layer. Place in the freezer for 2 hours.
• Dollop spoon-fulls of caramel sauce all over the ice cream, then spread it with a spatula, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the cake. Sprinkle the toffee pieces all over and press them gently into the caramel. Return to the freezer for 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, remove 2 pints of vanilla-chocolate chip ice cream from the freezer and let it sit out until slightly softened, about 20 minutes. Line the inside of an 8" cake pan with a piece of plastic wrap, making the bottom as smooth as possible and making sure that it comes up the sides. Scoop the softened ice cream into the base of the cake pan. Press down with the back of a spoon to push out as many air bubbles as possible and smooth it into a flat layer. Place in the freezer for 2 hours.
• Remove the cake from the freezer. Open the springform pan lever and remove it from the sides of the cake.
• Remove the vanilla- chocolate chip ice cream layer from the freezer. Pull up on the plastic to pull it out of the cake pan, and turn it, ice cream side down, on top of the caramel and toffee layer. Press this layer into the top of the cake and return the whole thing to the freezer for at least 2 more hours before serving. (Cover with more plastic wrap, if freezing for longer than 2 hours, like overnight).
• Remove the cake from the freezer. Pour 1 cup of magic shell into the center of the cake and push it over the sides of the cake so that it drizzles down the sides. Dollop cool whip on the cake and top with maraschino cherries. Slice and serve immediately!
