Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Butter a 9-inch spring-form pan and line the bottom with parchment.
• Cover the bottom of the pan with the chocolate chip cookies and then sprinkle with the crushed sandwich cookies. Scoop the cookies and cream and cookie dough ice creams onto the crushed cookie 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 spring-form pan and remove. Invert the cake onto a sheet of plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment. Put a serving plate on the bottom and invert once more (so the chocolate chip cookie layer is on the bottom). Keep in the freezer until ready to frost.
• Put the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir until smooth. Allow to cool 10 minutes before using.
• Frost the top and sides of the cake with the ganache and top with the crushed 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 up to overnight. Let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Line one cake pan with four layers of plastic wrap, extending plastic wrap 4 inches over side of pan. Working quickly, spoon ice cream into pan, pressing down firmly and smoothing surface. Fold plastic wrap over ice cream to enclose. Freeze 3 hours or overnight until firm. Remove ice cream from pan, still wrapped in plastic; place on oven tray. Return to freezer. Preheat oven to 300°F. Grease both cake pans. Beat butter, extract and sugars in small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat until combined. Transfer mixture to large bowl; stir in sifted flours, then chocolate bits. Divide dough in half; press one half over base of one pan. Press remaining half over base of second pan, leaving a 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap around edge of dough; push chocolate Melts onto top of dough. Bake cookies about 20 minutes. Stand cookies in pans 20 minutes before turning, top-side up, onto wire racks to cool. Place plain cookie on cake board; top with ice-cream cake then chocolate-topped cookie. Serve immediately. Ice-cream cake and cookies can be prepared one day ahead. Store cookies in an airtight container. Use a serrated knife to cut the cake.

Steps:

• Crush 25 cookies; set remaining cookies aside. In a large bowl, combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom of a greased 10-in. springform pan. Freeze for 15 minutes., In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 3/4 cup hot fudge topping on high for 15-20 seconds or until pourable; spread over crust. Arrange reserved cookies around the edge of pan. Freeze for 15 minutes. Spread vanilla ice cream over fudge topping; freeze for 30 minutes. Spread with chocolate ice cream. Cover and freeze until firm. May be frozen for up to 2 months., Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Remove sides of pan. Warm remaining hot fudge topping; drizzle over top.

Steps:

• Make the Cookie Dough: Cream the butter in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand-held beater) until soft and fluffy. Add both sugars and mix. Add the vanilla and 1 egg and mix. Add the remaining egg and mix. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix. Add the chips and mix just until just combined.
• Using your hands, roll the dough into a long thin rope; then cut into small bits. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the Ice Cream Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the half-and-half, cream, and vanilla, whisking occasionally, to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat and let the flavors infuse for 10 minutes. Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. In a thin stream, whisk half of the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Then pour the egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan containing the rest of the cream mixture.
• Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. At 160 degrees F., the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180 degrees F, it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. (If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough.) When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat.
• Meanwhile, put 2 handfuls of ice cubes in the bottom of a bowl, and add cold water to cover. Rest a smaller bowl in the ice water. Pour the cream mixture through a fine sieve (to remove the vanilla bean pieces and cinnamon sticks) into the smaller bowl. Chill for 3 hours.
• Freeze the cream mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Meanwhile, put a bowl in the freezer. When the ice cream is frozen, remove the bowl from the freezer, and transfer the ice cream to it. Fold in the chocolate chip cookie dough (you may not need all of it). Pack the ice cream into sealable containers and return to the freezer. (Make cookies: bake any leftover dough in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.)

Steps:

• Crush 20 of the cookies and mix the crumbs with the butter.
• Pat mixture on the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan and put in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Now make a fudge sauce by putting the cream, chocolate and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan and stirring constantly over low heat until the chocolate is melted.
• Add rum if desired.
• When the fudge sauce is cool, use about half of it to spread over the cookie crumb crust.
• At this point, you also take the remaining chocolate chip cookies and stand them up along the edge of the pan.
• Put the mixture back in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Take the ice cream out to soften at this point and start making the strawberry sauce.
• Put the strawberries, two tablespoons of sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan and heat-- stirring occasionally-- until the strawberries form a thick sauce.
• When the ice cream is fairly soft, take the pan out of the freezer and start spreading the ice cream in the pan.
• You want to create a marbled effect by lightly mixing the two ice cream flavours together, but not so much that they become all one colour.
• Swirl in the strawberry sauce.
• Pour over the remaining fudge sauce and return to freezer until everything is firm, at least two hours.
• To serve, remove the edge of the pan and let soften for 10-15 minutes.

Steps:

• Crush half the cookies (about 20) to make crumbs. Combine crumbs with melted margarine and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie plate. Stand remaining cookies around edge of pan. Spread 3/4 cup fudge topping over crust. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, soften 1 quart of ice cream in microwave or on countertop. After crust has chilled, spread softened ice cream over fudge layer. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Scoop remaining quart of ice cream into balls and arrange over spread ice cream layer. Freeze until firm, 4 hours or overnight. To serve, garnish with remainder of fudge topping, whipped cream and cherries.

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with two layers of plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Open all of the ice cream containers. Place one 1 1/2 quart (or 3 pints) on the counter and let soften until it resembles thick cake batter, 5 to 10 minutes; you'll use this ice cream first. Place the other containers in the refrigerator to soften while you build the first half of the cake. (Ice cream will reach the desired consistency in the refrigerator in 20 to 30 minutes.)
• Scatter the crushed cookies in a thin, even layer across the bottom of the pan. Spoon the first softened container of ice cream over the cookies and spread into an even layer. Press down as you go to adhere the ice cream to the cookies. If at any point the ice cream is melting to liquid, pop the cake and ice cream in the freezer to firm to a spoonable consistency.
• Place the pan in the freezer while you unwrap the sandwiches. Top the ice cream with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, cutting some as needed to fill the layer to the edges.
• Spoon the remaining ice cream over the top and spread into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
• To serve, use the plastic overhang to remove the cake from the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve with a drizzle of hot fudge or Magic Shell. If you're finding the cake too solid to cut, don't wait for it to soften: Warm your knife by running it under hot water and wiping it dry between cuts.
