Chocolate Cookies N Cream Ice Cream Cake Recipes

BAKED COOKIES 'N' CREAM ICE CREAM CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease 2 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the melted ice cream, cake mix, and egg whites. Whisk until smooth.
• Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake according to the package instructions, about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Place 1 cake on a cake stand or platter. Spread an even layer of frosting over the cake. Sprinkle 6 of the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies evenly over the frosting. Top with the other cake layer. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
• Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Coat the top and sides of the cake with frosting. Transfer the remaining frosting to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag fitted with a medium star tip. Pipe 8 1½-inch (20 cm) swirls of frosting around the outside of the cake. Place a chocolate sandwich cookie vertically in each swirl. Sprinkle the remaining 4 crushed cookies in the center.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

COOKIES-AND-CREAM ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Cut cake into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Halve each slice diagonally, forming triangles. Cover bottom of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with cake by arranging some triangles, points facing in, around edge of pan. Fill in center with more triangles; then cut additional pieces to fill in any spaces. Spread half of ice cream over cake. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• Stir fudge sauce, chocolate chips and 1/4 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and smooth. Cool to just barely lukewarm. Spread half of fudge sauce over ice cream. Sprinkle with cookies. Top with enough remaining cake slices to cover. Spread remaining ice cream over. Freeze 1 hour.
• Stir remaining fudge sauce over medium-low heat until barely lukewarm. Pour sauce over ice cream, spreading to edge. Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Beat cream and sugar in medium bowl to peaks. Run knife around pan sides to loosen cake. Release pan sides. Spread whipped cream around sides (not top) of cake. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Freeze.) Arrange candies and candles atop.

COOKIE EXPLOSION ICE CREAM CAKE

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.
