Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup safflower oil, plus more for bowl
1 1/2 cups unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for bowl
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
6 cups mint-chocolate-chip ice cream, softened in refrigerator until spreadable
9 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (about 1 2/3 cups)
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
3 tablespoons light corn syrup

Steps:

  • Cake:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush bottom and sides of a large (approximately 10 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep) ovenproof glass, ceramic, or metal bowl with oil. Dust with cocoa, tapping out excess.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined, 30 seconds. Add oil, eggs, buttermilk, warm water, and vanilla; whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to prepared bowl.
  • Bake until set and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 1 hour, 25 minutes to1 hour, 45 minutes. Transfer bowl to a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes. Turn cake out onto rack; let cool completely.
  • Cut a 1-inch-thick slice from bottom of cake with a serrated knife. Invert "bowl" of cake; using a metal spoon or your fingers, hollow out all but a 1-inch border of cake (reserve scraps for snacking). Brush hollowed-out cake bowl and cut side of cake bottom with melted chocolate. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Spoon ice cream into cake bowl, pressing to pack it all in and smoothing top. Return bottom of cake to bowl (it will be on top at this point). Cover with plastic; freeze until ice cream is firm,at least 4 hours and up to 3 days.
  • Glaze:Unwrap cake and place, dome-side up, on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Place chocolate, butter, and corn syrup in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and immediately pour over top center of cake, all at once. Shake baking sheet back and forth and tap it on a work surface a few times, if necessary, to ensure that glaze fully and evenly covers cake. Using two large, wide spatulas slipped underneath, transfer to a serving plate. Serve immediately, or freeze, uncovered, up to 1 day. Remove from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before serving. To serve, use a knife dipped in hot water, then wiped dry, to cut into wedges.

Time 5h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 9-ounce box chocolate wafer cookies, such as Famous Chocolate Wafers
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups (10 ounces) bittersweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon crème de menthe
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate wafer cookies in a food processor along with the salt; process until the cookies are the texture of smooth sand. Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl and set aside.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler or in a microwave. Whisk in the coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of the crème de menthe until smooth.
  • Stir 2/3 cup of the chocolate mixture into the cookie crumbs until combined. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to tightly pack the crumbs to form the crust. Freeze for 10 minutes to set the crust.
  • With a small offset spatula, spread the remaining chocolate mixture over the base of the crust and 1/2 inch up the sides. Freeze for another 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip together the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup crème de menthe on high speed until stiff peaks form. Spoon the whipped filling onto the pie. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely. Remove from the freezer twenty minutes before serving.
  • When ready to serve, drizzle the pie with chocolate syrup and garnish with mint leaves.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - Make sure the ice cream is softened before assembling the cake. - If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch cake pan. Just be sure to line the pan with plastic wrap so the cake doesn't stick. - To make the chocolate ganache, you can use either heavy cream or milk. If you use milk, the ganache will be thinner. - If you don't have any crème de menthe, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of mint extract. - Be patient when assembling the cake. It takes a little time to layer all of the ingredients. - Serve the cake immediately or freeze it for later. If you freeze the cake, let it thaw for about 30 minutes before serving.
