Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cake image

I first made this for my boyfriend's birthday. It takes a bit of time to put together and freeze, but there's no baking time so I think it all works out the same in the end! You can also try different ice cream combinations, depending on what you like. Pistachio and vanilla is another possibility. A fun idea for a summer cake!

Time 3h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 liter chocolate ice cream, softened
1 liter vanilla ice cream, softened
1 (10 ounce) package of frozen sliced strawberries
1 cup sugar, plus
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 tablespoon rum (optional)
40 chocolate chip cookies
1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Crush 20 of the cookies and mix the crumbs with the butter.
  • Pat mixture on the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan and put in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Now make a fudge sauce by putting the cream, chocolate and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan and stirring constantly over low heat until the chocolate is melted.
  • Add rum if desired.
  • When the fudge sauce is cool, use about half of it to spread over the cookie crumb crust.
  • At this point, you also take the remaining chocolate chip cookies and stand them up along the edge of the pan.
  • Put the mixture back in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Take the ice cream out to soften at this point and start making the strawberry sauce.
  • Put the strawberries, two tablespoons of sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan and heat-- stirring occasionally-- until the strawberries form a thick sauce.
  • When the ice cream is fairly soft, take the pan out of the freezer and start spreading the ice cream in the pan.
  • You want to create a marbled effect by lightly mixing the two ice cream flavours together, but not so much that they become all one colour.
  • Swirl in the strawberry sauce.
  • Pour over the remaining fudge sauce and return to freezer until everything is firm, at least two hours.
  • To serve, remove the edge of the pan and let soften for 10-15 minutes.
