THIN MINT ICE CREAM CAKE



Thin Mint Ice Cream Cake image

This minty cool dessert is made with everyone's favorite chocolate-mint Girl Scout cookie, so make sure to reserve two boxes for it, before they disappear. The cookies are used throughout: in the crust, mixed into the ice cream, decorating the sides and sprinkled on top.

Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Two 9-ounce boxes chocolate-mint cookies, such as Thin Mints®
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup hot fudge sauce
One 48-ounce container mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Line a 9-inch springform pan with plastic wrap with a 2-inch overhang.
  • Put one box of the cookies in a food processor and process until finely ground. Mix together the cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the butter is incorporated and the cookie crumbs are fully coated.
  • Spread the cookie crumb mixture on the bottom of the prepared pan; use your hands to pat the mixture down so it holds its shape and coats the entire bottom of the pan.
  • Warm the fudge sauce briefly so it's just pourable; set aside to cool slightly. Coarsely chop one sleeve of the remaining cookies.
  • Put the ice cream in a large bowl, add the chopped cookies and mix until the cookies are distributed throughout. Drizzle the hot fudge sauce on top and fold everything together so the chocolate forms a swirl throughout the ice cream.
  • Spread the ice cream mixture on top of the cookie crust. Fold the plastic wrap up over the top of the ice cream cake and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Before serving, finely chop 2 of the remaining cookies; set aside. Press the remaining cookies flat-side in around the sides of the cake to surround it.
  • Combine the cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Top the ice cream cake with the whipped cream and sprinkle with the chopped cookies.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE



Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cake image

With just a 9-by-13 pan, a spoon and four store-bought ingredients, you can make an ice cream cake that's creamy, crunchy and fudgy in every bite. It starts with crushed chocolate-mint cookies that are covered with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Next, it's topped with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, with their cakey cookies and vanilla ice cream. Follow that with more mint chip ice cream, and you've made a six-layer cake without breaking a sweat. Feel free to experiment here: Swap out the mint cookies for snickerdoodles, pretzels or broken waffle cones, and the mint-chip ice cream for coffee, peanut butter or strawberry ice cream - or any combination that sounds good to you. Slice the cake into pieces big or small, then drizzle them with hot fudge or Magic Shell. This cake serves a crowd, but you can halve the ingredients and build it in an 8-by-8-inch pan for a smaller group.

Time 2h30m

Yield One 9-by-13-inch cake (15 to 18 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups coarsely crushed crisp chocolate-mint or chocolate cookies (about 10 ounces)
2 (1.5-quart) cartons or 6 pints mint chocolate chip ice cream
12 full-size rectangular ice cream sandwiches
Store-bought or homemade hot fudge sauce or Magic Shell, for serving

Steps:

  • Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with two layers of plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Open all of the ice cream containers. Place one 1 1/2 quart (or 3 pints) on the counter and let soften until it resembles thick cake batter, 5 to 10 minutes; you'll use this ice cream first. Place the other containers in the refrigerator to soften while you build the first half of the cake. (Ice cream will reach the desired consistency in the refrigerator in 20 to 30 minutes.)
  • Scatter the crushed cookies in a thin, even layer across the bottom of the pan. Spoon the first softened container of ice cream over the cookies and spread into an even layer. Press down as you go to adhere the ice cream to the cookies. If at any point the ice cream is melting to liquid, pop the cake and ice cream in the freezer to firm to a spoonable consistency.
  • Place the pan in the freezer while you unwrap the sandwiches. Top the ice cream with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, cutting some as needed to fill the layer to the edges.
  • Spoon the remaining ice cream over the top and spread into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
  • To serve, use the plastic overhang to remove the cake from the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve with a drizzle of hot fudge or Magic Shell. If you're finding the cake too solid to cut, don't wait for it to soften: Warm your knife by running it under hot water and wiping it dry between cuts.

Tips:

  • Don't overbeat the ice cream mixture. Overbeating can cause the ice cream to become icy.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch cake pan. Just line the pan with parchment paper before adding the ice cream mixture.
  • Let the ice cream cake freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. This will give the ice cream time to firm up.
  • When you're ready to serve the ice cream cake, remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to slice.
