ITALIAN RAINBOW COOKIE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Cut the cookies to form 1-by-1-by-1/2-inch squares. Line a 9-inch springform pan with plastic wrap. Arrange the cookie squares all the way around the sides of the pan with the color lines running perpendicular to the bottom of the pan. Repeat with an additional ring of cookies above the first ring, lining up the colors as much as possible, so the cookies come 2 inches up the sides of the pan and almost completely cover them.
• Lay one cookie square in the middle of the bottom of the pan. Arrange a second cookie square next to it, with the color lines perpendicular to the color lines in the first cookie. Continue arranging cookie squares to create a parquet floor pattern. Fill the bottom of the pan with cookies, cutting some to fill in any odd-shaped areas. Chill until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Combine the chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted, about 2 minutes. Using a pastry brush, coat the cookies on the bottom and sides with a thin layer of chocolate. Chill until set, about 5 minutes.
• Spread one of the pints of vanilla ice cream in an even layer over the chocolate-coated bottom cookies. Freeze until hard, about 1 hour. Spread the chocolate ice cream in an even layer over the vanilla. Freeze until hard, about 1 hour. Spread the remaining pint of vanilla ice cream in an even layer over the chocolate ice cream. Cover with the remaining cookie pieces. Freeze until solid, 6 hours to overnight.
• When ready to serve, invert the cake onto a plate so the bottom layer of cookies is on the top. Remove the pan and peel off the plastic wrap. Cut with a hot dry knife.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM CAKE

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.

COOKIES 'N' CREAM ICEBOX CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat until combined.
• Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Beat until combined.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Place a portion of dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll out into a circle that is about 11 inches (27 cm) wide. Using a 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan as your guide, cut a 10-inch (25 cm) circle out of the dough.
• Use a 3-inch (8-cm) ramekin as a guide to cut out the center, leaving a doughnut-shaped cookie. Reserve the dough scraps and transfer the cookie on the parchment paper to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
• Chill the cookie dough in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Bake the cookies (in batches, if necessary) for 12-14 minutes, until crisp around the edges. Let cool completely.
• Reroll the dough scraps and use a cookie cutter to cut out 24 1½-inch-wide (4-cm) cookies. Transfer the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Bake the cookies for 7 minutes, until crisp. Let cool completely.
• Make the whipped cream: Add the heavy cream to a large bowl. With an electric hand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form, then add the sweetened condensed milk. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a large round tip.
• Carefully place one of the large cookies on a serving platter. Pipe a layer of whipped cream on top of the cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and whipped cream, finishing with a layer of cream. Reserve any leftover whipped cream for sandwich cookie garnish.
• Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• After the cake has chilled, make sandwich cookies for decoration. Pipe a dollop of whipped cream onto a small cookie and sandwich with another cookie. Make 9 more cookie sandwiches. Place the remaining cookies in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to smash into crumbs.
• Arrange the sandwich cookies evenly around the top edge of the cake. Sprinkle the cookie crumbs over the exposed whipped cream.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
