ICE CREAM SHEET CAKE
I ought to provide an enormous ole THANK YOU to Mother Nature for returning the nice and cozy climate to us! I knew that final week’s providing of do-it-yourself magic shell was now not in vain, and right the following we are, mid-May, sweating our tushies off just in time to make a few superior frozen treats to celebrate all of the summer time things!
Graduations, holidays, 1st birthdays (OMG this can't be happening), basic gatherings, pool parties, seaside trips… There’s much to celebrate this summer, and also you recognize what celebrating means, right? CAKE. That’s right. We’re again on the Cake of The Month today, and this one is fairly perhaps my favourite installment therefore far (which is saying anything pondering THIS is a thing).
The concept for an ice cream cake has been floating round in my head for, umm, ever. I would actually actually love to make an ice cream layer cake for you, but I needed to leap on a smaller, simpler scale first, merely simply due to the fact I ought to recognize a few ins and outs of ice cream cake assembling earlier than I move all layer cakey on it with a springform pan and attempt to dress a frozen deal with on a rotating cake stand.
That provides me cake decorator nervousness just typing it.
So yeah, let’s persist with a sheet cake concern for this month, ok? Last month, we did somewhat of anything unique with a snack cake, so this month (and subsequent month too– reside tuned!), I’m focusing somewhat on a extra sensible “sharing” cake.
Layer desserts are great. They actually actually are. But sometimes, I would favor to shipping or serve a cake that doesn’t necessarily require a ton of work within the presentation branch and that allows of us to take small pieces. Because undoubtedly, you attempt to take a small slice of a layer cake and it, womp womp, collapses. Sheet desserts work somewhat of bit extra within the method a brownie would– you may take a small sq. and it doesn’t upset the complete tray or wreck the integrity of your portion. You actually sense me?
Now, so far as practicality is going with transporting a cake, you doubtless won’t desire to provide to convey the ice cream cake to Aunt Susie’s home who lives an hour away. But internet web hosting at your individual home? A neighbor down the street? Absolutely. Ice cream cake it up! Because you recognize there’s nothing like a nice ice cream cake.
So let’s holiday this down actually quick, simply due to the fact honestly, in case you may stir, you may make/assemble an ice cream cake. I promise.
The most concerned steps of this ice cream cake are getting ready the crunchy cookie layer and whipping up the do-it-yourself whipped cream topping. Both of which might be incredibly easy.
You’re going to make use of a complete package deal deal of Oreos for the center cookie layer. Yep. The complete package. This cake isn't for the faint of heart, friends. Not one bit. You’ll pulse all of the cookies in a meals processor earlier than including within the do-it-yourself magic shell you made final week to create a damp cookie mixture.
See? Simple. You’re carried out with that. Set it aside.
You’ll leap this cake with a vanilla backside layer. The key to getting the proper consistency for spreading the ice cream into the baking dish is to mushy it out. You don’t desire it melted, but you desire it uncomfortably frozen. Like… It sat out too lengthy and it’s getting soupy, but you might nonetheless take pleasure in it in case you needed to… You’d just ought to consume it lovely fast. The greatest strategy to gain this consistency is to lay it into an enormous bowl and stir it round with a spatula. This will distribute the tremendous chilly spots and the hotter melted spots to create a uniform texture that's just spread. You’ll do that with equally layers.
The cookie layer edge comes next, on higher of your vanilla (bottom) layer. You’ll desire to make certain which you simply holiday greater chunks into small ones, simply due to the fact as soon as the huge chunks sit within the freezer, they're like rocks attempting to cut/bite/chew through. Best to holiday them up and keep away from injury.
You’ll only need about 20 minutes to let this layer agency up earlier than you may positioned the subsequent layer on.
Another 20 minutes for that layer, a freshly whipped cream layer on higher of that one, after which lots of sprinkles for the higher to make everything pretty. The cake is completed and capable to serve as soon as it’s been frozen for at the very least 12 hours, so you’ll desire somewhat of bit of time to plot forward in case you desire to serve this ice cream sheet cake at a precise time or event, however the huge edge is, you may make it effectively forward of time– as much as a month!
This cake, now not like all of the unique treats I make, didn't make it to anybody else’s tastebuds. Matt and I shamefully (?) ate the complete factor ourselves, and in about a week’s time. That’s embarrassing, people. But it actually is a testament to how nice it is. I’ve had my reasonable share of ice cream desserts from Carvel, DQ, even just the grocery store, and none of them evaluate to the only I made myself.
Customizable with unique ice cream flavors, proper for serving up a “different” type of cake at a party… Seriously, you would like this recipe and also you may fully do that ice cream cake thing. Jazz up your summer time gatherings and galvanize your friends! I bet they may assume you’re so fancy!
