Delicious ice cream cake complete recipe

 Here's a step-by-step recipe for making a delicious ice cream cake from scratch! This cake combines layers of ice cream, a cookie crust, and a rich ganache topping. Customize it with your favorite ice cream flavor


Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos, crushed)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

For the Ice Cream Layers:

  • 2 quarts (4 cups) ice cream, any flavors you like, softened
  • Optional: 1/2 cup crushed candy, chocolate chips, or nuts (for mixing between layers)

For the Ganache Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

For Garnish (optional):

  • Whipped cream
  • Sprinkles, crushed cookies, or candy pieces


Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust

  • In a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookies and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Freeze the crust for 20–30 minutes until firm.

2. Add the First Ice Cream Layer

  • Let one flavor of ice cream soften for 10–15 minutes at room temperature until spreadable but not melted.
  • Spread the ice cream over the crust in an even layer.
  • If using crushed candies, chocolate chips, or nuts, sprinkle some over this layer.
  • Freeze for 30–45 minutes, or until firm.

3. Add the Second Ice Cream Layer

  • Repeat the process with your second flavor of ice cream. Spread it evenly over the first layer.
  • Freeze the cake for 1–2 hours, or until very firm.

4. Make the Ganache Topping

  • In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
  • Add the chopped chocolate to the hot cream and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk until smooth and glossy, allowing it to cool slightly.

5. Assemble and Chill the Cake

  • Pour the cooled ganache over the top of the cake, spreading it out with a spatula.
  • Return the cake to the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the ganache is set.

6. Decorate and Serve

  • Run a knife along the edges of the pan to loosen the cake, then remove the sides of the springform pan.
  • Garnish with whipped cream, sprinkles, or any other toppings.
  • Slice with a sharp knife (dip it in warm water for cleaner cuts), serve, and enjoy!


Tips:

  • Soften ice cream to make it easier to spread, but don’t let it melt.
  • Freeze each layer well to prevent the colors from mixing.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer, tightly wrapped, for up to a week.
