Melted Ice Cream Strawberry Shortcake Recipes

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place milk, whipping cream, vanilla, salt, and 3/4 cup of the sugar in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium. Simmer, whisking constantly, until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to a medium-size heatproof bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface of mixture. Chill at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 275°F. Spread cake pieces in an even layer on a small rimmed baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until lightly toasted, about 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes; crumble. Set aside until ready to use or up to 24 hours (wrap tightly with plastic wrap if storing overnight).
• Place diced strawberries and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium. Boil, stirring occasionally, until strawberries begin to break down and sauce slightly thickens, about 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Pour chilled milk mixture into frozen freezer bowl of a 2 1/2- to 3-quart electric ice-cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. (Instructions and times may vary.)
• Spoon half of the ice cream into a freezer-safe container; spoon half of the chilled strawberry sauce over ice cream, and sprinkle with half of the cake crumbles. Repeat layers once using remaining ice cream, strawberry sauce, and cake crumbles. Cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Serve with halved fresh strawberries.

EASY ICE CREAM STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• Remove pound cake from foil container, and line container with cooking parchment paper, leaving paper hanging over 2 sides.
• Cut pound cake horizontally into thirds, creating 3 layers. Place bottom layer into parchment-lined container.
• In small bowl, stir together softened ice cream and chopped strawberries. Spread half of the ice cream mixture over bottom layer of cake in container; top with second cake layer.
• Spread remaining ice cream mixture over that, and top with final layer of cake. Return cake to freezer for about 4 hours or until ice cream is very firm.
• Remove cake from container, using parchment as handles. Slice and serve with whipped cream and sliced strawberries.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• To a 12- to 14-cup food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the sandwich cookies, slightly breaking them up as you add them. Process until the cookies are completely broken up. While the machine is running, slowly stream in the melted butter. The mixture should now resemble wet sand and should hold together when pressed in your hands. Add the mixture to the prepared pan and evenly spread all over the base and about 1/2 inch up the sides. Place the crust in the freezer for 30 minutes. Reserve the food processor bowl to make the shortcake crumbs.
• For the shortcake crumbs: Reattach the food processor bowl and blade. Add the sandwich cookies, slightly breaking them up as you add them. Add the freeze-dried strawberries. Process the mixture until it's a very fine, cohesive consistency. With the machine running, slowly stream in the melted butter. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
• For the filling: When the crust is frozen, scoop on half of the softened vanilla ice cream. Use a small offset spatula to smooth the ice cream into an even layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shortcake crumbs over the ice cream, slightly pressing in to adhere. Freeze for 45 minutes.
• After 45 minutes, scoop on the softened strawberry ice cream. Use a small offset spatula to smooth the ice cream into an even layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shortcake crumbs over the ice cream, slightly pressing to adhere. Freeze for 45 minutes.
• After 45 minutes, scoop on the remaining vanilla ice cream. Smooth with an offset spatula and top with the remaining shortcake crumbs. Freeze for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, run a knife or offset spatula around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan. Remove the springform ring and slice the cake into wedges.

• Process cookies in a food processor until mixture resembles fine crumbs, 20 to 30 seconds.
• Stir together half of the crumbs (about 2 cups), gelatin, melted butter, almond extract, and salt in a large bowl until combined. Spread in even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Place remaining half cookie crumbs in a large bowl. Place cooled strawberry-cookie mixture back in food processor; pulse until fine crumbs, 10 to 12 pulses. Add strawberry-cookie mixture to remaining cookie crumbs, stir until well combined.
