Chocolate Sauce For Neapolitan Icebox Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Coat a standard 5-by-10-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, and line with plastic wrap, allowing a 2-inch overhang on the long sides; set aside. Process sandwich cookies in a food processor until finely ground; set aside.
• Using an offset spatula, smooth vanilla ice cream into bottom of prepared pan. Spread half of the cookie crumbs on top. Freeze 15 minutes. Smooth chocolate ice cream over cookie crumbs; top with remaining cookie crumbs. Freeze 15 minutes. Smooth pistachio ice cream over cookie crumbs. Cover with plastic overhang. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours (up to overnight).
• To unmold, let cake stand at room temperature 10 minutes. Gently lift by plastic overhang, and unmold, pistachio side down, onto a platter. Remove plastic wrap. Top with chocolate sauce.

Steps:

• Beat 3/4 cup cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Spread a long rectangular layer of whipped cream, about 10 inches by 2 inches, onto a serving plate.
• Pour sherry into a flat-bottomed bowl. Dip a wafer cookie quickly into the sherry, spread one side of it with whipped cream, and stand it up on the layer of cream on the serving plate. Position a glass or can to hold the cookie up on the plain side, if necessary.
• Repeat, spreading cream on one side of a cookie and placing it next to the cream-covered side of the previous cookie. Continue until all cookies are used. Cover the cake with aluminum foil and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• Unwrap the cake. Beat remaining 3/4 cup cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Cover the cake on all sides with whipped cream. Sprinkle with grated chocolate and almonds.

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, coffee liqueur, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and vanilla. Mix on low speed to combine and then slowly raise the speed, until it forms firm peaks.
• To assemble the cake, arrange chocolate chip cookies flat in an 8-inch springform pan, covering the bottom as much as possible. (I break some cookies to fill in the spaces.) Spread a fifth of the mocha whipped cream evenly over the cookies. Place another layer of cookies on top, lying flat and touching, followed by another fifth of the cream. Continue layering cookies and cream until there are 5 layers of each, ending with a layer of cream. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• Run a small sharp knife around the outside of the cake and remove the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the top with the chocolate, cut in wedges, and serve cold.

Steps:

• Add milk gradually to cream cheese in large bowl, beating after each addition until blended. Add dry pudding mix and melted chocolate; beat 1 min. Stir in COOL WHIP.
• Line 8x4-inch pan with parchment, with ends of parchment extending over sides. Arrange 1/4 of the cookies on bottom of prepared pan, overlapping as necessary to make even layer; cover with 1/3 of the pudding mixture. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cookies. Refrigerate overnight.
• Use parchment handles to remove dessert from pan before slicing to serve.
