Chocolate Wafer Cookie Ice Cream Cake Recipes

SUGAR WAFER NEAPOLITAN ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Line the inside of an 8-inch round (3-quart) baking pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang of wrap.
• Spread 1 pint of ice cream across the bottom of the prepared pan. Line the edge of the pan with a single layer of upright chocolate wafer cookies, pressing them all the way to the bottom so they sit firmly in the ice cream. Repeat with another circle of chocolate wafer cookies nestled against the first row. Arrange 2 circles of vanilla wafer cookies followed by 2 circles of strawberry wafer cookies. Fill the center hole with 2 to 3 strawberry wafer cookies.
• Spread the remaining ice cream over the top, tapping the pan on the counter lightly to makes sure the ice cream fills all the nooks and crannies (the ice cream should be quite soft--almost melted is okay). Pull the plastic wrap up and over to cover the top and freeze at least overnight and up to 2 weeks.
• When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer and let sit for 10 minutes to make unmolding easier. Beat the cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form. Put 1 cup of the whipped cream in a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip.
• Unwrap and invert the cake onto a serving dish. Frost with the remaining whipped cream, then use the whipped cream in the pastry bag to pipe stars on top and around the bottom of the cake. Decorate with the sprinkles.

CHOCOLATE WAFER CRUST

Steps:

• Mix crumbs and melted butter or margarine until well blended. Press into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate. Chill until firm.

CHOCOLATE WAFER ICE BOX CAKE

Steps:

• Whip 1 1/2 cups of the cream, 1/4 cup of the confectioners sugar and the vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until you have soft peaks.
• Stack 6 cookies on top of each other, spreading about 1 tablespoon whipped cream on top of each wafer, and topping the final wafer in the stack with some whipped cream.
• Repeat until you have 6 stacks of 6 wafers.
• Lay the cookie stack on their sides, next to each other, on a rimmed baking sheet to make a 14" log.
• Wrap the log in plastic wrap and freeze till firm, at least 6 hours.
• When ready, combine the remaining 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners sugar, and the cocoa powder in a medium bowl and whip with mixer until it holds stiff peaks.
• Spread the cocoa whipped cream evenly over the log.
• Loosen the cake from the baking sheet with a wide spatula and carefully transfer to a long serving platter.
• Let stand at room temperature for 15-20 min before slicing.
• Sprinkle the nonpareils just before serving because they might bleed from the moisture.

FAMOUS WAFER CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place wafers from one box of chocolate wafers in bowl of food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Transfer to large bowl and stir in butter and sugar until moistened. Press mixture into bottom of 9- to 10-inch springform pan.
• Set aside 6 wafers from the second box. Spoon 3 cups ice cream into pan and smooth top. Place 9 wafers on top of ice cream in even layer. Keep alternating 3 cups ice cream and 9 wafers two more times, ending with an ice cream layer on top. (You should have 3 layers of wafers and 4 layers of ice cream).
• Cut reserved cookies in half and stick cookie cut side down into ice cream around the top perimeter. Freeze cake until completely solid, about 3 hours. Run a hot wet knife along inside of pan to loosen, and serve.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Crush half the cookies (about 20) to make crumbs. Combine crumbs with melted margarine and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie plate. Stand remaining cookies around edge of pan. Spread 3/4 cup fudge topping over crust. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, soften 1 quart of ice cream in microwave or on countertop. After crust has chilled, spread softened ice cream over fudge layer. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Scoop remaining quart of ice cream into balls and arrange over spread ice cream layer. Freeze until firm, 4 hours or overnight. To serve, garnish with remainder of fudge topping, whipped cream and cherries.
