Ice Cream Cake Recipe
Directions
  • Place cookies in a mixing bowl and crush with a potato masher or the bottom of a heavy glass.
  • Pour melted butter or margarine over the cookies and toss with a fork to combine.
  • Press cookie mixture into the bottom of the springform pan.
  • Place the pan in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
  • Allow the first quart of ice cream to thaw for 5-10 minutes or until it is soft enough to spread.
  • When ready, spread over the cookie mixture in the pan.
  • Place the pan back in the freezer.
  • Melt 8 squares of chocolate over medium heat in a small saucepan.
  • When melted, quickly pour it over the frozen ice cream in the pan. Spread it out evenly.
  • Place back into the freezer for one hour.
  • Allow the second quart of ice cream to thaw for 5-10 minutes.
  • Spread the ice cream over the chocolate layer and place back into the freezer for two hours.
  • Remove the cake from the freezer and run a knife around the inside edge of the springform pan and release the sides.
  • Place the cake on a serving platter.
  • Spread the non-dairy whipped topping over the top and sides of the cake.
  • Sprinkle with colored or chocolate sprinkles if desired.
  • Serve immediately or place the cake back into the freezer.
  • If freezing the cake, allow the non-dairy whipped topping to freeze, approximately one hour, then cover the entire cake with plastic wrap and place back into the freezer until ready to serve.
  • Remove the cake from the freezer at least 10 minutes before serving so that it is easier to cut.
*Note: This cake can be made with any flavor of ice cream. Use your favorite!
