TURTLE COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and place the racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Have 2 parchment lined baking sheets.
• In a bowl, cream the sugars and butter, either by hand or with a hand-held mixer, until smooth and incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add in the egg, yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated. Add in the flour, salt and baking soda and mix until incorporated. Fold in the pecans and chocolate chunks.
• Scoop out 1/4 cup of the dough and roll into a ball (or if you have a large ice cream scoop, use that). Place the formed dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, 4 per sheet, and using your hands, press down to flatten. Bake until the edges are slightly golden and the middles are set but still soft, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes. Then flip them over and coat the bottom of half of the cookies with fudge sauce. Then coat the other cookie bottoms with the caramel sauce.
• Place a generous scoop of ice cream on each of the fudge-lined cookies and top with a caramel-lined cookie, lightly pressing together. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream. Roll in chocolate sprinkles. Eat immediately or freeze for later.
• Cook's Note: If you freeze the cookies to eat later, just be aware that the cookies get hard. I always like to build 'em fresh if possible so the cookies stay nice and soft.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE

Steps:

• Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square cake pan with two crisscrossed sheets of foil, leaving an overhang on each side.
• Place a layer of ice cream sandwiches into the bottom of the dish, breaking them as necessary to cover as much of the pan as possible. Scoop the strawberry ice cream onto the sandwiches, then spread evenly with a spatula until the sandwich layer is covered. Add the remaining ice cream sandwiches on top to form another layer. Top with the cookies and cream ice cream and spread evenly. Spread the whipped topping over the top like a frosting, then top with the sprinkles. Freeze for 1 hour.
• Remove the cake from the freezer, then carefully remove the cake from the dish and peel off any foil that has stuck to the bottom and sides. Slice and serve.

FUNNEL CAKE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. Place over medium-high heat and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place a cooling rack on top.
• Make the batter: Pour the cake mix into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the flour and baking powder. Add the milk and eggs. Use a hand mixer to blend the wet ingredients into the dry, until the batter is smooth and free of any lumps. Scrape the batter into a pastry bag and snip a small hole in the tip.
• Quickly squeeze the batter in a circular motion into the hot oil, creating a lacey round about 3 inches wide. Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Gently remove from the oil and flip onto the cooling rack (they are fragile). Repeat to make 16 funnel cakes. They will become crispy as they cool.
• Allow the ice cream to soften on the counter for about 5 minutes. Scoop the ice cream onto 8 funnel cakes. Top each scoop with another funnel cake and gently press down. Dust the ice cream sandwiches with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

GIANT ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the short sides.
• Prepare the cake mix with an extra egg. Divide the batter between the 2 baking sheets; spread evenly with an offset spatula. Bake until set, 8 to 9 minutes; let cool.
• Measure 2 1/2 inches in from each long side of one cake; mark with toothpicks. Score using a ruler, then remove the toothpicks and trim along the scored lines so the cake is 7 inches wide.
• Round the corners of the cake with a knife. Punch out holes with a straw (4 holes across, 10 down). Trim the other cake (no need to punch holes). Freeze the cakes 30 minutes.
• Invert the cake without the holes onto a clean baking sheet; peel off the parchment. Snip open 1 ice cream carton with kitchen shears, then slide the ice cream onto the cake.
• Repeat with the other 2 cartons of ice cream, arranging them side by side on the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and press with your hands to smooth the ice cream and fill the gaps.
• Remove the other cake from the parchment with a thin spatula; place it on the ice cream. Trim any excess cake and smooth the sides. Freeze at least 2 hours before serving.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE

Steps:

• Arrange a layer of ice cream sandwiches in the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish; top with a layer of whipped topping, hot fudge topping, and caramel topping. Repeat layering with remaining ice cream sandwiches, whipped topping, hot fudge topping, and caramel topping, ending with a top layer of whipped topping. Sprinkle with pecans. Cover dish with aluminum foil and freeze until set, at least 30 minutes.

SKINNY TURTLE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix wafer cookie crumbs and melted vegetable oil spread until crumbly. Press gently and evenly in bottom of ungreased 9-inch springform pan. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Drop chocolate ice cream by small spoonfuls over crust; carefully spread until smooth. Freeze 1 hour or until firm.
• Spoon and carefully spread fudge topping over ice cream. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the pecans; press lightly. Freeze 1 hour or until firm.
• Drop vanilla ice cream by small spoonfuls over pecan layer; carefully spread until smooth. Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup pecans. Cover; freeze at least 8 hours or overnight.
• To serve, let stand at room temperature 5 to 10 minutes to soften. Carefully remove side of pan. Cut into 12 wedges. Place each wedge on individual dessert plate; drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of the caramel topping. Store remaining ice cream cake covered in freezer.

TURTLE ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE

Steps:

• Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan with 12 ice cream sandwiches. You may need to slice one or two sandwiches to fit all into the pan.
• Spread half of the Cool Whip over the ice cream sandwich layer.
• Drizzle about ¼ cup of the chocolate sauce over top of the Cool Whip followed by ¼ cup of the caramel sauce. Sprinkle half of the pecans and half the chocolate chips over the top.

ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. In another bowl, beat the butter, shortening, and sugar together with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla, beating until smooth. With a spoon, stir in the flour mixture, stirring just until you have a smooth dough.
• 3. Using a 2 tablespoon cookie dough scoop, drop 6 mounds of dough on each baking sheet, leaving a couple inches between each cookie. Bake until the cookies are firm around the edges and soft in the middle, about 15 minutes. (For even baking, rotate the pans from top to bottom and back to front halfway through baking.) Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
• 4. Meanwhile, turn the ice cream pints on their sides and use a serrated knife to slice through the containers, cutting each into 3 even rounds. Place the ice cream disks on a baking sheet and freeze until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
• 5. To assemble, peel the cardboard from the ice cream disks and sandwich each disk between 2 cookies. Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze up to 1 week.

ICE CREAM LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Slice the pound cake horizontally into 3 pieces. Place the first slice in a loaf tin lined with plastic wrap. Cover the cake with the vanilla ice cream, followed by three-quarters of the chopped peanut butter cups. Add a second layer of cake and cover with the chocolate ice cream, followed by three-quarters of the chocolate candies. Place the last layer of cake on top, followed by the chocolate chip ice cream. Cover with the chocolate shell sauce, then the remaining peanut butter cups and chocolate candies. Let the sauce set for a few seconds, then fold over the plastic wrap and place in the freezer until frozen, about 4 hours.
• When ready to serve, pull back the plastic wrap, gently lift the cake out and peel off the wrapping completely. Slice to serve.
