Strawberry And Brownie Ice Cream Cake With Chocolate Ganache Food

BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans.
• Combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a mixing bowl; stir well with a spoon until thickened and smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the batter into the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and browned, about 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a pan should come out with moist crumbs. Let cool for 10 minutes in pans before removing to finish cooling on racks.
• After brownies are cool, remove ice cream from freezer and allow to soften for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan, and mix in the chocolate chips; heat over low heat, stirring constantly, just until chips have melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to barely warm temperature.
• Place one of the layers of brownies into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Evenly spread the ice cream in a layer over the brownies; pour and spread half the chocolate sauce over the ice cream. Top with the other brownie layer, and drizzle the remaining sauce over the top. Freeze until ready to eat, at least 1 hour. Serve topped with whipped topping, if desired.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment and freeze for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the strawberry ice cream into pieces and beat in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed until smooth and spreadable but still frozen, about 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle 1 cup of crushed graham crackers in the bottom of the chilled pan. Spread the softened strawberry ice cream over the crumbs and tap the pan on the counter several times to remove any air pockets. Sprinkle with another 1 cup graham cracker crumbs and pat into an even layer. Spread with the strawberry jam. Freeze the cake until firm, 1 to 2 hours.
• Cut the chocolate-chip ice cream into pieces and beat in the mixer to soften. Spread on top of the strawberry jam layer, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup graham cracker crumbs. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Frost the cake: Rub the side of the springform pan with a warm kitchen towel to loosen. Remove the ring; invert or slide the cake onto a platter and freeze 15 minutes. Beat the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the top and side of the cake. Top with sliced strawberries and graham cracker crumbs. Freeze until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.

BLACK AND WHITE BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a rimmed 12-by-8 1/2-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spray the paper with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl, use a rubber spatula to stir together the brownie mix, eggs, liqueur, vegetable oil and almond extract. Spread the mixture evenly over the prepared baking pan. Bake until the brownie is just set, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper across the short way, so there is about 2 inches of overhang on either side. Remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften just slightly.
• Place the brownie sheet on a cutting board and cut into 3 rectangles. Place one brownie on the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Scoop the softened vanilla ice cream on top of the brownie and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Place another brownie rectangle on top of the ice cream and press down gently. Scoop the softened chocolate-chocolate chip ice cream on top and spread evenly. Top with the last brownie, press firmly, and wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 5 hours or preferably overnight.
• To unmold, run a thin knife along the two short sides of the pan to loosen. Invert the cake onto a chilled plate. Peel off the parchment and dust the cake with the confectioners' sugar if using. If desired, line the sides with the mini candy canes. Return the cake to the freezer to set for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

STRAWBERRY CAKE MIX BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Mix cake mix, butterscotch chips, eggs, brown sugar, butter, and water together in a bowl; pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan, 25 to 30 minutes.
