OREO MINT CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Set a medium bowl over a larger bowl full of ice and water, so that the ice water surrounds it. Place a second large bowl in the refrigerator.
• Bring 1 1/2 cups of the cream just to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Place the chocolate, corn syrup and salt in a heatproof medium bowl and pour the hot cream over top. Let sit 1 minute to slightly melt the chocolate. Stir the chocolate and cream together with a rubber spatula, using small circular motions starting at the center of the bowl until emulsified and smooth. Transfer the mixture to the medium bowl set inside the ice bath and refrigerate for 15 minutes, stirring halfway, until thickened and cooled. Makes about 2 3/4 cups.
• Remove the empty chilled large bowl from the refrigerator. Add the remaining 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, vanilla and confectioners' sugar and whip on high with a handheld electric mixer until medium-stiff peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
• Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy-bottomed skillet to crush into bite-size pieces.
• Evenly spread half of the softened ice cream on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread 2 heaping cups of the crushed cookies over the ice cream followed by half of the chocolate sauce and 1 heaping cup of the whipped cream.
• Repeat the layers with the remaining ice cream, 2 heaping cups of the crushed cookies and the remaining chocolate sauce. Spread the remaining whipped cream over top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups crushed cookies. Wrap the baking dish in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 4 hours to overnight.

THIN MINT ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch springform pan with plastic wrap with a 2-inch overhang.
• Put one box of the cookies in a food processor and process until finely ground. Mix together the cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the butter is incorporated and the cookie crumbs are fully coated.
• Spread the cookie crumb mixture on the bottom of the prepared pan; use your hands to pat the mixture down so it holds its shape and coats the entire bottom of the pan.
• Warm the fudge sauce briefly so it's just pourable; set aside to cool slightly. Coarsely chop one sleeve of the remaining cookies.
• Put the ice cream in a large bowl, add the chopped cookies and mix until the cookies are distributed throughout. Drizzle the hot fudge sauce on top and fold everything together so the chocolate forms a swirl throughout the ice cream.
• Spread the ice cream mixture on top of the cookie crust. Fold the plastic wrap up over the top of the ice cream cake and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Before serving, finely chop 2 of the remaining cookies; set aside. Press the remaining cookies flat-side in around the sides of the cake to surround it.
• Combine the cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Top the ice cream cake with the whipped cream and sprinkle with the chopped cookies.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with two layers of plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Open all of the ice cream containers. Place one 1 1/2 quart (or 3 pints) on the counter and let soften until it resembles thick cake batter, 5 to 10 minutes; you'll use this ice cream first. Place the other containers in the refrigerator to soften while you build the first half of the cake. (Ice cream will reach the desired consistency in the refrigerator in 20 to 30 minutes.)
• Scatter the crushed cookies in a thin, even layer across the bottom of the pan. Spoon the first softened container of ice cream over the cookies and spread into an even layer. Press down as you go to adhere the ice cream to the cookies. If at any point the ice cream is melting to liquid, pop the cake and ice cream in the freezer to firm to a spoonable consistency.
• Place the pan in the freezer while you unwrap the sandwiches. Top the ice cream with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, cutting some as needed to fill the layer to the edges.
• Spoon the remaining ice cream over the top and spread into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
• To serve, use the plastic overhang to remove the cake from the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve with a drizzle of hot fudge or Magic Shell. If you're finding the cake too solid to cut, don't wait for it to soften: Warm your knife by running it under hot water and wiping it dry between cuts.
