MUD SLIDE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease or spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan. In large bowl, beat cake mix, butter, egg and milk with spoon or electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Spread batter in pan.
• Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until center is set (top may appear dry and cracked). Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Brush 2 tablespoons liqueur over cake. Let ice cream stand about 15 minutes at room temperature to soften. Spread ice cream over cake. Freeze about 3 hours or until firm.
• In medium bowl, mix frosting and 2 tablespoons liqueur; spread over ice cream. Freeze at least 1 hour. Store covered in freezer.

CHOCOLATE MUDSLIDE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Mix coffee granules and water; set aside. Whisk fudge topping and 1 cup COOL WHIP in medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix; stir 2 min. or until blended. Remove 1 tsp. of the coffee; reserve for later use. Add remaining coffee to pudding mixture; mix well. Stir in chopped cookies.
• Arrange 4 ice cream sandwiches, long sides together, on 24-inch-long piece of foil; top with half the pudding mixture. Repeat layers. Top with remaining 4 ice cream sandwiches. Frost top and sides of dessert with combined remaining COOL WHIP and coffee. Bring up foil sides; fold top and ends to make loose packet.
• Freeze 4 hours before serving.

CHOCOLATE MUDSLIDE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease three 8-inch cake pans with Crisco and dust with cocoa powder to help easily release the cake after it is baked.
• Combine the Kahlua and sour cream in a cup, stir until the sour cream is mixed into the liquor and set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, sift the flour and cocoa powder. I usually sift my cocoa powder with a sieve instead of my actual sifter. Add the baking powder and salt and set aside.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Combine the melted butter in a large mixing bowl with oil and sugar. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, ensure that each egg is well beaten before adding the next one. Add the vanilla extract together with the last egg.
• Alternate adding the flour mixture and the Kahlua mixture. First, pour in half of the dry ingredients and beat for 30 seconds before adding half of the Kahlua mixture. Repeat with remaining flour mixture and remaining liquid mixture. Use a spatula to ensure the batter at the bottom of the bowl is well mixed.
• Pour the batter in the greased & coated pans, dividing as evenly as possible. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, your cake is done.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, gently run a knife around the edge of the pan to help release the cake from the pans.
• Tort the top of the cake but using a serrated knife to cut the dome off the cake. You want a nice flat surface on top.
• In a small glass, combine the hot water and espresso powder and whisk until the espresso powder is dissolved. Set this aside.
• Cut the butter into pieces. Using the paddle attachment, whip butter for 3-4 minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally. Beat until the butter looks light in color.
• Sift the cocoa powder into a mixing bowl. Turn the mixer on slow speed and beat it until the cocoa power is mixed into butter, scraping down the bowl as needed.
• Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and mix on low speed until incorporated into butter. Continuing adding powdered sugar, one to two cups at a time, followed by 1 tablespoons of Kahlua and 1 tablespoons of the brewed espresso and beat on low speed until the sugar is incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 3 minutes.
• Add the last cup of powdered sugar along with a pinch of salt and remaining Kahlua and beat on low until the ingredients start to mix together. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat for another 3-5 minutes to whip additional air into the frosting.
• You will need to judge the consistency of your frosting. You want it light and fluffy and not too stiff. If the frosting seems to thin, you can still add an additional cup of powered sugar.
• In order to create even layers, I use a piping bag fitted with an open round tip, or simply cut off the end of the piping bag. I also highly suggest to use a lazy Suzan to rotate the cake as you work.
• Fill the first layer of frosting by using your piping bag and pipe from the outside edge into the center. Gently spread the frosting with an offset spatula to fill in the gaps.
• Place the next layer of cake on top and repeat the above instructions to fill the layer of frosting. For the top layer of cake, place it inverted, so the bottom of the cake is actually the top, creating a nice and smooth top edge.
• Proceed to add your crumb coat by adding a cup of frosting to the top of the cake and gently spread out to the edges and down the sides. Use the leftover frosting in your piping bags to fill in the cracks between the layers.
• Using an offset spatula or icing smoother, the wipe away excess frosting, leaving you just enough to coat the outside of the cake. Do not mix your crumb coating frosting back into your icing if it has cake debris in it. Refrigerate the cake for 15-20 minutes to allow the crumb coat to harden.
• First, add about ½ cup of frosting to the top of the cake and create a nice, smooth top. Use your Viva paper towel and fondant smoother to create a flat even surface.
• Put remaining frosting in a 18-inch piping bag fitted with a Wilton #789 icing tip. Pipe the outside edge of the cake working from the bottom to the top. Use your icing smoother or large offset spatula to smooth edges and remove excess frosting. Again, use your Viva paper towels and the icing smoother to help smooth out the edges of the cake.
• To drizzle the ganache, use a piping bag and squeeze the ganache near the edges of the cake and if needed, use the flat edge of your offset spatula and push it gently over the sides. Repeat these steps until you are satisfied with the dripped edges. Pour the remaining ganache in the middle of your cake and gently flood out to the edges with the offset spatula. All the ganache to set until slightly firmed.
• Once the cake is completely smooth, put remaining frosting into a large piping bag fitted with an Ateco Tip 846 (closed star tip). Pipe the boarders on the edges of the cake and garnish with sprinkles.

• Combine the milk, vodka, coffee liqueur, cream liqueur and ice cream in a blender. Add the ice and blend until smooth. Serve in tall glasses.

JACQUES' CHOCOLATE MUDSLIDE COOKIE

Steps:

• Melt the unsweetened and bittersweet chocolates together and set aside
• Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix until combined. Add the eggs 1 at a time. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix just until combined. Add the melted chocolate. Stir in the walnuts and chopped chocolate pieces.
• Spoon small mounds of the dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. If you want to make giant cookies, use an ice cream scoop instead. Space the dough mounds evenly and bake in a preheated 350 degrees F convection oven for 16 minutes.

MUDSLIDE PIE

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9 1/2-inch deep dish pie plate with cooking spray; set aside.
• Combine dark chocolate sandwich cookies, butter, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and mixture sticks together when pinched with your fingers, about 20 times. Transfer cookie mixture to the prepared pie dish and press evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of dish to form a crust. Place in a refrigerator until ready to use.
• Microwave fudge topping, 30 seconds to 1 minute, until runny. Set aside and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Remove crust from the refrigerator and spread softened coffee ice cream evenly over the bottom. Drizzle 1/4 cup fudge topping over ice cream. Place in a freezer until firm, about 45 minutes.
• Combine cream, coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until stiff peaks almost form, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Fold sweetened condensed milk into whipped cream mixture until combined and mixture is light and fluffy. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped espresso beans.
• Remove pie from the freezer and top with the whipped cream mixture. Freeze until cream mixture has hardened, about 2 hours.
• Repeat process of microwaving remaining 1/4 cup fudge topping and cooling slightly. Remove pie from the freezer and drizzle fudge topping over the cream layer. Top with the remaining espresso beans. Return to the freezer until completely frozen, 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Slice and serve immediately.
