Categories     dessert

Time 4h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound cake
1 cup vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
4 large peanut butter cup candies, roughly chopped
1 cup chocolate ice cream, slightly softened
1/2 cup chocolate candies, such as M and Ms, roughly chopped
1 cup chocolate chip ice cream, slightly softened
Chocolate shell ice cream sauce (the type that hardens), such as Smucker's Magic Shell, for covering the top

Steps:

  • Slice the pound cake horizontally into 3 pieces. Place the first slice in a loaf tin lined with plastic wrap. Cover the cake with the vanilla ice cream, followed by three-quarters of the chopped peanut butter cups. Add a second layer of cake and cover with the chocolate ice cream, followed by three-quarters of the chocolate candies. Place the last layer of cake on top, followed by the chocolate chip ice cream. Cover with the chocolate shell sauce, then the remaining peanut butter cups and chocolate candies. Let the sauce set for a few seconds, then fold over the plastic wrap and place in the freezer until frozen, about 4 hours.
  • When ready to serve, pull back the plastic wrap, gently lift the cake out and peel off the wrapping completely. Slice to serve.

Yield makes one 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups crushed plain chocolate cookies (without icing or filling)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 to 1 cup Caramel Sauce (page 27)
1 quart chocolate ice cream, softened
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
6 (1.4-ounce) Heath bars or toffee-flavored candy bars, crushed
3/4 to 1 cup Chocolate Sauce (page 28)
1 quart coffee ice cream, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Combine the cookie crumbs and butter and mix well. Firmly and evenly press the mixture over the bottom of a 3-inch-deep 10-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes, until it's no longer warm to the touch.
  • Spread the caramel sauce over the cooled crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Freeze for about 30 to 60 minutes, until set.
  • Spread the chocolate ice cream over the caramel sauce in an even layer, then freeze for about for 30 to 60 minutes, until firm. (Freezing time depends on the quality of the ice cream and the freezer temperature.)
  • Combine the vanilla ice cream and crushed candy bars. Spread over the chocolate ice cream in an even layer, then freeze for about 30 minutes, until firm.
  • Spread a thin layer of chocolate sauce evenly over the vanilla ice cream, then freeze for about 30 minutes, until firm.
  • Spread the coffee ice cream over the chocolate sauce in an even layer, then return to the freezer for about 30 to 60 minutes, until firm. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours before slicing.
  • Remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving. Remove the springform pan sides, and slice into 12 wedges. If you like, serve additional caramel and chocolate sauce on the side.
  • Time Management Advice from Pie Tester Kate Antea
  • This pie will take about 4 hours to make. While one layer is freezing, the next ice cream is out softening, and a sauce can be made and cooled. My suggestion is to start by making the caramel sauce (which can be done a day ahead). While the sauce cools, make the crust. While the caramel is freezing, take the chocolate ice cream out to soften. When the chocolate layer goes in to freeze, take out the vanilla ice cream to soften and chop the candy bars. When the vanilla layer goes in to freeze, make and cool the chocolate sauce. When the chocolate sauce layer goes in to freeze, take out the coffee ice cream to soften.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start making the ice cream, make sure you have all of the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any hiccups during the process.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your ice cream will taste. Use fresh, ripe fruit, high-quality chocolate, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Don't overmix the ice cream base: Overmixing the ice cream base can make it tough and grainy. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly: Chilling the ice cream base before churning it helps it to set up properly and prevents it from becoming icy.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions: Every ice cream maker is different, so be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions carefully before churning your ice cream.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours: This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Making homemade ice cream is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little planning and effort, you can create delicious and unique ice cream flavors that your family and friends will love. So get creative and experiment with different ingredients and flavors. The possibilities are endless!
