Peanut Butter Smores Ice Cream Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Remove ice cream from freezer 10 to 12 minutes, but no longer or you will end up with an icy cake.
• Spray 8- to 9-inch round springform pan with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Dump mixture into pan; press evenly in bottom of pan.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave peanut butter uncovered on High 15 to 20 seconds or until lightly melted and somewhat pourable. In large bowl, mix ice cream and peanut butter, using spatula or electric mixer, until almost no streaks of peanut butter remain. Stir in marshmallows. Work quickly so ice cream does not completely melt. Spread evenly over crust. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing against ice cream to help prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze 4 to 6 hours.
• Before serving, remove from freezer, and pour chocolate over top, allowing some to drip down sides. Immediately top with chopped peanuts, and additional graham cracker crumbs and miniature marshmallows so they harden into the shell.
• Once shell hardens, slice and serve or freeze until ready to serve. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before cutting--it makes cutting so much easier!

Steps:

• Combine the 1/3 cup peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and heavy cream in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Spoon the mixture into the bottom of the pie crust and smooth evenly. Freeze until slightly firm, about 20 minutes.
• Spoon the softened ice cream on top of the peanut butter cream and spread to fill the pie crust. Freeze until very firm, at least 2 hours.
• Mound the marshmallows in the center of the pie and torch them with a kitchen torch; you can also broil them in the oven, but watch them carefully if you do. Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut butter in the microwave until pourable, about 30 seconds. Drizzle the chocolate syrup and peanut butter over the pie. Freeze until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Place graham crackers in a zipper storage bag and crush with a rolling pin until the cookies are fully crushed.
• Transfer the graham cracker crumbs to a bowl, and add in the sugar, cinnamon, and salt, stirring to combine. Add in the melted butter and mix well.
• In a buttered 6-inch (15 cm) springform pan, add the graham cracker mixture and press firmly to form an even layer. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• In a medium size bowl, combine softened ice cream, half of the marshmallows, and chocolate chips.
• Pour over the graham cracker crust and freeze over night.
• Microwave the chocolate and heavy cream together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the glaze is smooth and glossy.
• Pour the ganache over the ice cream cake. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine rum and remaining half of the marshmallows. Let sit for 15 minutes.
• Pour the marshmallows over the ice cream cake. Using a torch, brown the marshmallows on top of the cake.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add pretzels, 1/4 cup peanuts and brown sugar to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until the mixture resembles very coarse sand with a few larger pieces remaining. Pulse in the butter until well combined.
• Press about 3/4 cup of the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Spread the remaining mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake crust and crumbs until light golden and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes. The crust may take a bit longer to brown (another 2 to 3 minutes). Set pans on a rack to cool completely.
• When the crust and crumbs are cool, transfer 1 quart of the ice cream to a large bowl and use a wooden spoon to break it into a few pieces. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature until slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Drizzle half the peanut butter over the top and gently fold it into the ice cream, so some ribbons of peanut butter remain.
• Scoop the ice cream mixture onto the cooled crust and use an offset spatula to gently spread it to the edges of the pan, being careful not to pull the crust away from the bottom of the pan. Drizzle the top of the ice cream with 1 tablespoon of honey and use the tip of a knife or wooden skewer to swirl it as best you can into the surface of the ice cream. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the peanut-pretzel crumbs from the baking sheet over the top and gently press them into the ice cream. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place the cake in the freezer.
• After about an hour, soften the second quart of ice cream, and mix the remaining half of the peanut butter into it, and spread as before. Drizzle the remaining honey over the top and swirl it into the surface of the ice cream. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and return it to the freezer to chill the cake for at least 4 hours before serving, and up to overnight.
• Just before serving, whip the cream to soft peaks, and stir the remaining whole peanuts into the remaining peanut-pretzel crumbs.
• To unmold the cake, run a thin knife or offset spatula under hot water to warm it, and slide it around the edges of the cake. Remove the outer ring of the springform pan, dollop the top of the cake with whipped cream, lightly spread it to the edge, and sprinkle the remaining peanut-pretzel mixture around the top edge. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• To make the chocolate cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Choose between a 10 by 3-inch round or a rectangular shaped baking pan and spray it with baking grease or butter and then line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Combine the oil and the sugar in mixer until well blended. Add the eggs and the vanilla extract and continue to mix until well blended. Add the milk and the coffee.
• Sift all of the dry ingredients and then add them to the wet ingredients in three batches allowing each batch to be thoroughly absorbed.
• Pour the batter in prepared pans and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a skewer is clean when removed. Allow to cool before unmolding. Once chocolate cake has cooled, unmold, and refrigerate overnight to allow it to cool thoroughly.
• To make the ice cream cake: Cut the chocolate cake horizontally to make 2 layers out of the 1 layer and slide 1 of the layers onto a plate or cake board attempting not to break the layers.
• Line the same pan used to bake the chocolate cake in plastic wrap (the plastic will help you remove the ice cream cake from the pan once it is set, so make sure to use a large enough piece and slide 1 of the half layers of chocolate cake into the pan). Make sure that it rests firmly in the bottom of the pan and if the plastic wrap has slipped in, adjust so that it spills over the sides of the pan.
• Empty a pint of chocolate ice cream, or your favorite brand, into a mixer and soften until it is easily spread, do not let it become runny. Pour the ice cream into mold over chocolate layer and spread evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Return to freezer until set, approximately 2 hours.
• Soften 2 cups of creamy peanut butter in the microwave without letting it get runny, approximately 2 minutes. Then pour the peanut butter over the chocolate ice cream. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the peanut butter evenly over the chocolate ice cream. Place the second half of the chocolate cake layer over the peanut butter and pat down firmly. Return to freezer until set, approximately 2 hours.
• Empty a pint of vanilla ice cream or your favorite brand, into a mixer and soften it until it can be easily spread. Pour into mold over chocolate layer and spread evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Return to freezer and allow to set overnight.
• To unmold, simply invert over cake board or plate, place a warm towel over the pan for a couple of minutes. The cake should slide out without any problems, grab a hold of the ends of the plastic wrap, and give it a tug if it is stubborn. Invert back so that vanilla ice cream is on top. Decorate with melted chocolate or whipped cream.
• If you chose a rectangular shaped mold, cut lengthwise and stack on top of each other for a dramatic presentation. Drizzle with melted chocolate.
