Dq style ice cream cake

Yes you can get one from dq without the cookie crumble but it's not the same & it's at the description of the location owner. 

My daughters 1st birthday is this Saturday so to celebrate I have made a gluten free ice cream cake! This is not am easy task and takes a couple days to assemble & make.  

Now, I have an ice cream maker so I made my own ice cream but you could use store bought just be sure to let it warm up/soften. 

What you need to make this is a pie pan or small round cake pan and a larger spring form pan (that you can fit the pie pan in).

I used the chocolate ice cream recipe from my ice cream maker manual 

(Cuisine art) 

3/4 cups of coco powder

1/2 cup of sugar

1/3 cup of dark brown sugar

A pinch of salt

1 cup of whole/homo milk

2 cups of table cream 

1/2 tbsp of vanilla 

Mix your dry, add the wet less vanilla using an Emerson blender then add in vanilla.  Chill in fridge for at least one hour , better if over night.  Follow directions for your maker if you have one.  Place ice cream in pie pan and freeze until it's all set up and solid.  Once it's solid use a knife along the rim then flip upside down in the middle of the spring form pan.  Place a hot hot damp cloth on the bottom of the pie pan and it will fall down.  Place in freezer. 

Fudge(from wiki how): 

A can of condensed milk (mix dry ingredients before adding

3 level tablespoonfuls of butter

3 cups of powdered sugar

6 tablespoonfuls of quality coco

Pinch of salt

1 teaspoonful of vanilla extract

Mix the dry, add in wet less vanilla in sauce pan.  Bring to boil stirring constantly then lower heat.  Fudge is done when it will ball when dropped in water.  Add vanilla.  Pour into the pie pan lined with Saran Wrap and refrigerate. 

"Oreo" crumble 

I bought a pack of k-too's and painstakingly scraped the icing off the cookies and added it to the last cookie of each row and enjoyed :p.  Place the cookies in a container and mash with a potato masher (it takes no effort).  Pull fudge out of the fridge and smooth cookie crumble on top & press down with hands, place back in fridge for now to set up a bit more. 

Vanilla Ice cream (cuisine art)

Double batch

2 cups of whole/homo milk

2 1/2 cups of sugar

2 pinches of salt

4 cups of table cream

1 tbsp of vanilla 

Mic all the ingredients but vanilla with Emerson blender then add in vanilla and chill for at least an hour, better if over night.  Follow directions for your maker if you have one.  

Assembly ... LETS GET TO IT! 

Take your fudge & cookie duo and carefully remove the Saran Wrap and plop onto the chocolate ice cream core.  Oreo will fall a bit it's all good. 

Place in freezer until vanilla is ready. 

Start packing the vanilla down the sides. I used parchment to help it not stick to the sides.  Then add vanilla ontop of the cookie layer, just be careful not to move the cookie layer around too much. 

Place in freezer to set up.  Here is what mine looked like the next day: 

I have to smooth it out which adding icing will do.  Once that's done and after it's been cut into I'll post a cross section photo 

Enjoy & happy eating
