who-weeee!
I feel like I've been spinning on a carnival ride for the last
couple of weeks! It's been capital B-usy. Last week my mom arrived
for a visit from Newfoundland, and it was also our eldest
daughter's birthday. So, in addition to getting Nanny's room ready
for a visit, mommy was also preparing for a birthday and at-home
party. Prizes and loot bags and games and ice cream cake and
cupcakes to bring to class and the list goes on!
Here's the ice cream cake I made for the bday party. I prepped it
on Wednesday and kept in the deep freeze until the party. Since
Thursday was devoted to making cupcakes for the class to share on
Friday (and I made them
much like these ones using my Triple
Layer frosting and cake recipe), I decided not to bake again on
Friday with needing to get the house ready for the party on
Saturday. I eased my workload the teensiest bit by making an ice
cream cake for the party.
Okay, you know me too well... there was an ulterior motive
to making the ice cream cake. Heck, yeah, if mommy is prepping for
a birthday party all week, she is certainly going to make
her favorite kind of cake - hah! But when time came for
the cake, the kiddos loved this, with two layers
of different ice creams, chocolate sauce, and two flavors of
sandwich cookies! Wanna' know how to make it? It's really simple.
Truly, it is! Goes like this:
1) Get
a
springform pan (ie, the kind used for cheescakes). Line the
bottom and sides with the sandwich cookies. You will have to cut a
few in half to help them fit. I used the vanilla ones on the bottom
and the chocolate along the sides.
2) Have two quarts of ice cream ready, your choice of brand and
flavor. Soften one quart (in the fridge or on your countertop), and
scoop it into the pan to cover the cookies on the bottom and just
cover that layer around the sides.
Spread
to smooth out as much as possible. Drizzle with chocolate (or other
sauce), then pop in the freezer to harden that 1st layer of ice
cream again.
3) Once it's hardened, soften the 2nd quart of ice cream. Pull out
your pan from the freezer and layer in the second flavor of ice
cream. Again, smooth out somewhat, but it's fine if it's a bit
uneven... mine was and I liked how it looked!
4)
Garnish with extra crumbles of cookie sandwiches and sauce, or
other toppings like sprinkles or nuts.
5) Cover well and place back in the freezer until ready to eat.
Before
eating, remove for 5-10 minutes, then remove the springform ring
and place cake on a platter or plate to cut.
Aren't birthdays the BEST?! (nudge nudge, wink wink... hubby,
you out there?... you can manage this one for my bday right?
wait now, Mother's Day is coming up and oh yeah, I deserve
it!)
