Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cake Recipes

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 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:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour. In large bowl, beat cake mix, dry pudding mix, water, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes (batter will be very thick). Pour into pan.
• Bake 29 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, place ice cream in refrigerator 1 hour to soften.
• Cut cake into 1- to 1 1/2-inch squares with serrated knife. In very large bowl, stir ice cream until very soft. Add cake squares; stir until cake is coated (cake pieces will break up). Spoon mixture back into pan. Smooth top. Freeze about 3 hours or until firm.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat whipping cream until hot but not boiling. Stir in chopped white chocolate until melted and smooth. Pour mixture into small bowl. Refrigerate 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours or until cold.
• Beat white chocolate mixture on high speed until soft peaks form (do not overbeat or mixture will look curdled). Spread over ice cream cake.
• In microwavable food-storage plastic bag, place hot fudge topping; seal bag. Microwave on High about 15 seconds or until melted; squeeze bag until topping is smooth. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze bag to drizzle topping over cake. Serve immediately, or cover and freeze.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms.
• On ungreased cookie sheet, make 5 cookies by dropping dough by tablespoonfuls. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
• Meanwhile, press remaining dough in pan, using moistened fingers (dough will be sticky). Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Spread 1/3 cup chocolate topping over baked crust. Freeze 10 to 15 minutes or until chocolate is set.
• Meanwhile, remove ice cream from freezer to soften. Spread softened ice cream evenly over chocolate-topped crust.
• Crumble 5 baked cookies; sprinkle over ice cream layer. Drizzle remaining chocolate topping over cookie crumbs. Cover; freeze 2 hours. To serve, let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before cutting. For serving pieces, cut into 5 rows by 3 rows. Store covered in freezer.

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.

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:

• Bake cake mix according to package directions for two 9 inch round cakes. Let cool, and remove from pans.
• Remove ice cream from the freezer and let it partially thaw (you don't want it to be melted, but it does need to be spreadable).
• On a freezer-safe plate, place one 9 inch cake. Measure a piece of wax paper, folded in half, to go around the circumference of the cake and secure in place with tape (this will help the cake keep it shape until you're ready to serve). On top of the cake, evenly spread ice cream to the edges, pressing it up against the wax paper.
• Crumble two-thirds of the package of cookies, and sprinkle evenly over the ice cream. Place the second 9 inch cake on top of the cookie crumbs, and press down gently (don't push too hard, or your wax paper may come undone).
• Freeze for 2-3 hours, until ice cream can hold it?s shape.
• Before serving, heat chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Remove wax paper from the cake, then pour chocolate sauce over the top, letting it drip down the sides. Top cake with remaining chocolate chip cookies, and serve immediately.
