An ice cream cake is a cake that incorporates ice cream. A popular form is a three-layer cake, with a layer of ice cream between two layers of cake.
In a typical assembly, the cake component is baked in the normal way, cut to shape if necessary, and then frozen. Ice cream is shaped in a mold as appropriate, and these components are then assembled while frozen. Whipped cream is often used for frosting, as a compliment to the two other textures, and because many typical frostings will not adhere successfully to frozen cake. The whole cake is then kept frozen until prior to serving, when it is allowed to thaw until it can be easily sliced but not so much as to melt the ice cream.
It is related to a Baked Alaska in that it incorporates ice cream. Unlike a Baked Alaska, however, the ice cream never goes into the oven.
Ice cream cake is a popular party food, often eaten at birthdays and weddings, particularly in North America and Australia. It is not as well known in Europe.
Ice cream cake was originally made from biscuits and cream. Victorian era desserts called bombes consisted of ice cream and fruit in decorative molds. Sometimes these desserts were lined with cake or biscuits. Ice cream cake recipes dating to the 1870s have also been found.
Ingredients
2 quarts vanilla ice cream
2 1/2 cups roughly crushed chocolate cookies
2 cups chocolate fudge sauce
1 quart chocolate ice cream
1 quart heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sprinkles
Magic Shell sauce, store-bought or homemade
Maraschino cherries
Equipment
Wax or parchment paper
Baking sheet
9- or 10-inch springform ring, chilled in the freezer overnight (see Note)
Stand or hand mixer
Spatula
Large round cake plate or platter
Offset spatula
Piping bag, optional
Instructions
Set up your pan: Lay a sheet of parchment or wax paper on a baking sheet, and place your cold springform ring (without the bottom) on top.
Whip the vanilla ice cream: Whip the vanilla ice cream with a mixer for about 2 minutes, or until fluffy but still frozen.
Create the vanilla ice cream layer: Spread the whipped ice cream up the sides of the pan, creating a thick layer of vanilla all around. Spread the rest in the bottom, and smooth out. (A little ice cream may puddle out the bottom as it melts. This is fine; we'll take care of that later.)
Add 2 cups crushed cookies: Spread a thick, even layer of cookies over the ice cream and lightly press in.
Add 2 cups fudge sauce: Warm the fudge sauce just enough to make it easily pourable, but not too hot, then pour over the cookies.
Freeze for 4 hours: Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you have the time.
Create the chocolate ice cream layer: Whip the chocolate ice cream with a mixer until fluffy but still frozen. Spread on top of the cookie and fudge layer and smooth it so it's even with the top of the pan. Cover the top with another sheet of parchment or wax paper.
Freeze overnight: Freeze overnight or until completely solid.
Prep the cake for unmolding: Peel away the top layer of parchment or wax paper. Place a large round plate or platter over the top of springform pan, upside-down. Gently flip the whole cake over, so that it ends up on the plate with the chocolate layer on the bottom and the vanilla layer on top. Peel away the other piece of parchment. Trim away any frozen bits of ice cream on the outside of the cake.
Unmold the ice cream cake: Gently loosen the springform and wiggle it until it slides smoothly off the cake. Dab the base gently to mop up any melted ice cream. Return to the freezer while you whip the cream.
Frost with whipped cream: Whip the cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until it forms soft peaks. Use an offset spatula to spread the whipped cream all over the cake. If desired, use a piping bag to create rosettes or other decorations.
Decorate the cake: Add sprinkles, drizzles of Magic Shell, extra dollops of whipped cream, and Maraschino cherries, if desired.
Freeze until eating: At this point, the cake can be eaten, but it will melt quickly. It's best to return it to the freezer, overnight if possible. It will also keep quite a while; once the cake and the frosting are firmly frozen, cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month.
Recipe Notes
On springform rings: I realize that springforms come in various sizes and we don't usually keep both a 9-inch and a 10-inch around. So use either; the cake will be a little shorter and broader with a 10-inch, and taller with a 9-inch.
Flavor swaps: I'm not sure I need to tell you this, but the sky is the limit with flavors here. Try mint chocolate chip with a mix of Andes Mints and Oreos in the middle. Cherry cordial ice cream with chopped fresh cherries and white chocolate drizzle. Peanut butter and chocolate with crumbled Nutter Butters. Your choice.
Ice cream choices: From my research, it seems that Dairy Queen uses an eggless ice cream for their cakes, so I opted for egg-free Breyers. It whips nicely, and it's fairly light, which I think works well here.
