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.

Categories     cakes, ice creams and sorbets, dessert

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.

DIRTY MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM



Dirty Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream image

We have news for you. That supermarket mint chip ice cream with the nuclear-green color? It doesn't have any mint leaves in it. It has mint oil or fake mint flavoring, and that nasty color comes from artificial coloring. Real, fresh mint leaves give our Dirty Mint a fresh, cool intensity. Why is it "dirty"? Because we use brown sugar in the base, which gives the ice cream a deep caramel punch and a natural light brown color. It is also "dirty" because we don't strain out the mint. Leaving it in deepens the flavor the longer the ice cream is in the freezer. (Warning: This has been known to convert mint ice cream haters.)

OREO MINT CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE



Oreo Mint Chip Ice Cream Cake image

This decadent, can't-stop-eating-it dessert is an homage to Linda Freeman, the incredible chef at my college sorority house. She made a version of grasshopper pie that featured an Oreo crust and mint chocolate chip ice cream (instead of the classic crème de menthe chiffon filling). My spin takes those same flavors and layers them with chocolate ganache and whipped cream, so you get a little taste of everything in each bite.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 4h25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
12 ounces semisweet chocolate bars, finely chopped
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
Pinch kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
One 19.1-ounce package chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos (44 to 48 cookies)
2 quarts (4 pints) green mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened

Steps:

  • Set a medium bowl over a larger bowl full of ice and water, so that the ice water surrounds it. Place a second large bowl in the refrigerator.
  • Bring 1 1/2 cups of the cream just to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Place the chocolate, corn syrup and salt in a heatproof medium bowl and pour the hot cream over top. Let sit 1 minute to slightly melt the chocolate. Stir the chocolate and cream together with a rubber spatula, using small circular motions starting at the center of the bowl until emulsified and smooth. Transfer the mixture to the medium bowl set inside the ice bath and refrigerate for 15 minutes, stirring halfway, until thickened and cooled. Makes about 2 3/4 cups.
  • Remove the empty chilled large bowl from the refrigerator. Add the remaining 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, vanilla and confectioners' sugar and whip on high with a handheld electric mixer until medium-stiff peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
  • Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy-bottomed skillet to crush into bite-size pieces.
  • Evenly spread half of the softened ice cream on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread 2 heaping cups of the crushed cookies over the ice cream followed by half of the chocolate sauce and 1 heaping cup of the whipped cream.
  • Repeat the layers with the remaining ice cream, 2 heaping cups of the crushed cookies and the remaining chocolate sauce. Spread the remaining whipped cream over top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups crushed cookies. Wrap the baking dish in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 4 hours to overnight.

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ripe bananas
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Mint extract, as needed

Place the frozen bananas, chocolate mixture and salt in a food processor and blend well, stopping to scrape down the sides often to get a smooth, even consistency. Add a drop of mint extract to the ice cream, blend and taste. For a more intense mint flavor, increase the mint a drop at a time until you achieve the desired taste. Finally, add the chocolate chips into the ice cream and stir by hand until they're mixed throughout.
  • Scoop the ice cream into single-serving bowls and serve immediately or cover in plastic wrap and freeze. If you're saving these for a later time, remove the bowls from the freezer about 5 minutes before serving.

MINT CHIP ICE CREAM

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (125 grams) sugar
1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) kosher salt
6 large egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons mint extract
1/2 cup (60 grams) dark chocolate chips (72% cacao)

Steps:

  • 1. Pour the cream and milk into a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water). Whisk in 1/2 cup (100 grams) of the sugar and the salt and stir until they have dissolved. Warm the mixture until you see steam rising from the top.
  • 2. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set another bowl over it. Set aside.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, with a kitchen towel underneath it to prevent slipping, whisk together the egg yolks with the remaining 2 tablespoons (25 grams) sugar until uniform. While whisking, add a splash of the hot dairy mixture to the yolks. Continue to add the dairy mixture, whisking it in bit by bit, until you've added about half. Add the yolk mixture to the remaining dairy mixture in the double boiler. Set the heat under the double boiler to medium and cook the custard, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon and reducing the heat to medium-low as necessary, until steam begins to rise from the surface and the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Hold the spoon horizontally and run your fingers through the custard. If the trail left by your finger stays separated, the custard is ready to be cooled.
  • 4. Strain the custard into the bowl sitting over the prepared ice bath and stir for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the custard has cooled. Transfer the custard to a quart-sized container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, preferably, overnight.
  • 5. Add the mint extract to the chilled custard. Pour the custard into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the container in which you refrigerated the custard in the freezer so you can use it to store the finished ice cream. Churn the ice cream until the texture resembles "soft serve." In the last minute of churning, fold in the chocolate chips and churn until incorporated. Transfer the ice cream to the chilled storage container and freeze until hardened to your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can serve it immediately-it will be the consistency of gelato. The ice cream will keep, frozen, for up to 7 days.

CHICKPEA MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM



Chickpea Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream image

Canned chickpeas are the secret ingredient in this easy frozen treat, lending creaminess and body without affecting the flavor. (We promise!) Be sure to remove the skins for the smoothest possible results. Pitted Medjool dates add just the right amount of sweetness, and vegan mint extract and baking chips are the perfect flavoring combo.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 8h35m

Yield 8 servings (about 4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup drained and rinsed canned chickpeas
One 13.66-ounce can unsweetened coconut cream
1 cup pitted Medjool dates (about 10)
2 teaspoons vegan mint extract
1/4 teaspoon green vegan food coloring
1 cup vegan semisweet baking chips
Vegan ice cream cones, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Place the chickpeas on a clean dish towel or a couple paper towels and cover with a paper towel. Gently rub the chickpeas until they are completely dry and the skins start to fall off. Use your fingers to peel off any remaining skins (the chickpeas should easily pop out).
  • Place the skinned chickpeas, coconut cream, dates and mint extract in a blender. Blend, stopping and scraping down the sides of the container with a rubber spatula as needed, until very smooth, about 1 minute. It's okay if there are some specks from the dates, but the mixture should be smooth and similar in texture to a thick milkshake. Add the food coloring and blend until combined (the color should resemble the inside of a ripe avocado).
  • Pour one-third of the chickpea mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, then top with one-third of the baking chips, making sure to go all the way to the edges of the pan. Pour half of the remaining chickpea mixture into the pan, then top with half of the remaining baking chips. Add the remaining chickpea mixture, then top with the remaining baking chips. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and freeze until completely firm, at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
  • Let the ice cream sit at room temperature to soften before scooping, 10 to 15 minutes. Scoop into bowls or vegan ice cream cones and serve.

Yield Makes 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Cake:
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
11 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 3/4 cups sugar
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling and assembly:
6 pints (packed) mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened in refrigerator for 20 minutes
2 cups coarsely crushed chocolate wafer cookies or Oreos
2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
4 cups chilled heavy cream
1 cup powdered sugar
Green food coloring
Colored sprinkles

Steps:

  • For cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet (17x13x1") with nonstick spray. Line bottom with a large sheet of parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to blend; set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and frothy, 1-2 minutes. Increase speed to high; add cream of tartar. With mixer running, gradually add sugar. Beat until meringue is soft and pillowy, is tripled in volume, and medium peaks form, 8-10 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold dry ingredients into meringue, being careful not to deflate. Once flour is almost incorporated, fold in butter, oil, and vanilla; continue folding until no dry clumps of flour remain. Pour batter into prepared sheet; smooth top.
  • Bake until cake is light golden brown and springs back slightly when pressed, 16-19 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Invert cake onto rack; peel off paper and let cool completely.
  • Using a serrated knife, halve cake crosswise into 2 smaller rectangles. Cover and freeze at least 1 hour or up to 5 days ahead.
  • For filling and assembly:
  • Place 1 cake rectangle on a large platter or cake stand. Spread 1/2 cup ice cream evenly over cake. Sprinkle crushed cookies evenly over. Spread remaining ice cream over, being careful to keep cookie layer evenly intact. Top with remaining cake rectangle, pressing slightly to adhere. Using an offset spatula, smooth sides of cake. Freeze until ice cream is firm, about 2 hours.
  • Place 2 tablespoons cold water into a small heatproof glass or metal bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over; let soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour water to a depth of 1/2" into a small skillet set over medium heat. Transfer bowl with gelatin to skillet; stir until gelatin dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove bowl from skillet.
  • Place chilled cream in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat cream while gradually adding melted gelatin. Beat until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and continue to beat until medium peaks form and whipped cream is soft and pillowy (not stiff or grainy). Add green food coloring to achieve a light mint-green hue, 8-10 drops; fold to blend.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread whipped cream over entire cake, creating dramatic swirls on top. Scatter sprinkles over. Freeze until cream is set, at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.

Tips:

  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this ice cream. Just pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so.
  • To make sure your ice cream is nice and smooth, make sure all of your ingredients are cold before you start. You can even chill your bowl and beaters in the freezer for a few minutes before you start.
  • If you want a more intense mint flavor, you can use peppermint extract instead of vanilla extract. You can also add a few drops of green food coloring to give your ice cream a more festive look.
  • For a fun and easy variation, try adding some chocolate chips to your ice cream. You can also swirl in some chocolate sauce or caramel sauce.
  • Garnish your ice cream with fresh mint leaves or chocolate shavings for a finishing touch.
