MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE
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.

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.

Steps:
- For meringues:
- Preheat oven to 225°. Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using small bowl or can as guide, trace three 4-inch-diameter circles on parchment on each baking sheet; turn parchment over (circles will show through). Brush parchment with melted butter. Whisk powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons sugar in small bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt in large bowl until foamy and beginning to hold soft peaks. Slowly beat in 1/2 cup sugar; continue beating until whites are stiff and shiny. Fold in powdered sugar mixture, then chocolate. Spoon meringue by generous 1/2 cupfuls into center of each circle. Using back of spoon, spread meringue to edge of circle and indent center to form shallow bowl.
- Bake meringues until crisp, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Place baking sheets on racks; cool completely. (Meringues can be prepared 4 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
- For sauce:
- Bring cream, water and sugar to boil in medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low; add chocolate. Whisk until melted. Remove from heat; stir in extract. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm sauce over low heat before using.)
- Place 1 meringue in center of each plate. Top with scoops of ice cream. Drizzle with chocolate sauce. Sprinkle with chopped candies. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the perfect meringue hearts, make sure your egg whites are at room temperature and your mixing bowl is completely clean and dry. Any grease or residue can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the whites begin to foam. This will help to incorporate air and create stiff peaks.
- Add the sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
- When the meringue is stiff and glossy, remove it from the mixer and fold in the peppermint extract. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the meringue to deflate.
- Pipe the meringue mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet into heart shapes. Leave enough space between the hearts so that they don't spread and touch each other during baking.
- Bake the meringue hearts in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp.
- Once the meringue hearts are baked, let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
- For the mint ice cream, simply churn your favorite ice cream recipe in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the ice cream is churned, stir in the chopped mint leaves.
- For the fudge sauce, melt the chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the milk and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- To assemble the meringue hearts, place a scoop of mint ice cream in the center of a plate. Top with a meringue heart and drizzle with fudge sauce. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
This recipe for meringue hearts with mint ice cream and fudge sauce is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The meringue hearts are light and airy, the mint ice cream is refreshing, and the fudge sauce is rich and decadent. This dessert is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
