Sheet Pan Ice Cream Cake Recipes

BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans.
• Combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a mixing bowl; stir well with a spoon until thickened and smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the batter into the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and browned, about 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a pan should come out with moist crumbs. Let cool for 10 minutes in pans before removing to finish cooling on racks.
• After brownies are cool, remove ice cream from freezer and allow to soften for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan, and mix in the chocolate chips; heat over low heat, stirring constantly, just until chips have melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to barely warm temperature.
• Place one of the layers of brownies into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Evenly spread the ice cream in a layer over the brownies; pour and spread half the chocolate sauce over the ice cream. Top with the other brownie layer, and drizzle the remaining sauce over the top. Freeze until ready to eat, at least 1 hour. Serve topped with whipped topping, if desired.

ICE CREAM SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Make room in your freezer for a 9" x 13" baking dish**. Set out your vanilla ice cream at room temperature.
• Place the entire package of Oreos into a food processor and pulse until cookies form a fine crumb. Drizzle in the homemade magic shell until cookies are moist. Set aside.
• Once your vanilla ice cream has sat out about 15 minutes, pour it into a large bowl and stir it with a large spatula to smooth it out. Once it is smooth and easily stirred, pour it into your baking dish. Spread the ice cream evenly into the bottom of the baking dish, making sure to fill in any holes and push ice cream into the very corners of your dish.
• Sprinkle the cookie crumbs evenly over the vanilla layer, making sure to break up large cookie clusters with your fingers. Once you have used up all of the cookie crumbs, place baking sheet in the freezer to firm up, about 20 minutes. Set out your chocolate ice cream at this time.
• Repeat step 4 with the chocolate ice cream, spreading the ice cream evenly over the cookie layer. Allow to set in the freezer, about 20 minutes.
• While you wait for the cake to freeze, make your homemade whipped cream topping. Set aside until ready to use.
• When your cake is firm, use a spatula to smooth the whipped cream topping over the chocolate ice cream layer. Decorate with sprinkles if desired. Allow to freeze completely in the freezer at least 12 hours, preferably 1 day. When you are ready to serve the cake, allow to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes and use a very sharp knife to cut. Cover leftovers and store in the freezer up to 1 month.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Cut one ice cream sandwich in half. Place one whole and one half sandwich along a short side of an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. pan.
• 2. Arrange eight sandwiches in opposite direction in the pan.
• 3. Spread with half of the whipped topping.
• 4. Spoon fudge topping by teaspoonfuls onto whipped topping.
• 5. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup peanuts.
• 6. Repeat layers with remaining ice cream sandwiches, whipped topping and peanuts (pan will be full).
• 7. Cover and freeze
• 8. Remove from the freezer 20 minutes before serving. Cut into squares.
• 9. THIS RECIPE CAN BE MADE AND THEN KEPT COVERED AND FROZEN FOR UP TO TWO MONTHS.

EASY 5 LAYER ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, pulse the whole Oreos into a fine crumb. Stir the cookie crumbs and melted butter together, then press into a 9×13 pan. (No need to grease the pan prior.) Make sure it is very tightly packed-I use the back of a spatula to firmly press it in. Freeze for 15 minutes.
• During that time, place the softened chocolate ice cream in a bowl and give it a good stir to rid any frozen lumps. You want a nice smooth, soft ice cream. Spread it on top of the frozen crust. Freeze for 15-30 minutes. (Closer to 30 minutes is ideal.)
• During that time, place the 2nd ice cream flavor into a bowl and stir it until it is smooth and very soft. Carefully spread on top of the chocolate ice cream. Freeze for 15-30 minutes. (Closer to 30 minutes is ideal.)
• Make sure the hot fudge is spreadable consistency. You may have to slightly heat it if using store-bought. Spread it on top of the ice cream as best you can. Because it is not as cold as the ice cream layer, the two will slightly mix together as you spread. That's ok. Freeze for 15-30 minutes. (Closer to 30 minutes is ideal.)
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes. Spread on top of hot fudge layer, then top with sprinkles. Cover with aluminum foil and freeze for at least 12 hours before serving (and up to a few days).
• Use a very sharp knife to cut, making sure you are cutting into the crust. Keep leftovers in the freezer.

NUTELLA AND ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Save 3 tablespoons Nutella in a small pastry bag to use as topping.
• Wrap the outside of a 9" diameter springform cake tin with 2 3/4 inch high sides in foil.
• Spread the 1st ice cream/yoghurt evenly in bottom of pan.
• Use a small spoon, and drop half of the Nutella by teaspoonsful evenly over the ice cream layer. Do not try to spread it.
• Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Spread the 2nd ice cream evenly over the 1st layer, and again drop teaspoonsful of your remaining Nutella over this layer, and freeze again for 30 minutes.
• Then spread the vanilla ice cream on top. Use a spatula to smooth top evenly.
• Pipe the Nutella in the piping bag decoratively over the top. Freeze the cake until firm, 30 minutes or so.
• Then wrap the entire torte, tin and all, in plastic, and freeze at least 6 hrs or overnight. This cake can be made a week ahead, how wonderful!
• To serve, let it stand at room temperature for the outside to soften slightly. Remove the plastic and foil. Put on a cake plate. Use a knife to loosen the sides carefully, and release the springform pan.
• If you like, press the coarse hazelnut bits into the sides of the cake. Serve!

COPYCAT DAIRY QUEEN ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
• 2. Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter and stir until well combined. Spread the crumbs evenly onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• 3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then allow to cool. Use your fingers to break any big clumps into smaller ones. Set aside.
• 4. Line an 8×3 inch cake pan* with clear wrap that covers the bottom and goes above the sides of the cake pan. I used two pieces.
• 5. About 20 minutes before you need it, set the chocolate ice cream out to soften. Add the softened chocolate ice cream to the prepared cake pan and spread into an even layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• 6. To make the fudge layer, add the chocolate chips, corn syrup and vanilla extract to a medium sized bowl.
• 7. Heat the heavy whipping cream just until it begins to boil, then pour it over the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for 2-3 minutes, the whisk until smooth.
• 8. Remove the cake pan with the chocolate ice cream from the freezer, then pour the chocolate fudge over the ice cream and spread into an even layer. Freeze for about 10 minutes.
• 9. Add the cookie crumbles to the top of the fudge layer, then freeze for about 2 hours, until mostly firm.
• 10. About 20 minutes before you need it, set the vanilla ice cream out to soften. Add the vanilla ice cream to the top of the cake, then freeze until firm, 2-3 hours.
• 11. Use the clear wrap to lift the frozen cake out of the pan, then place it on a cardboard cake circle or a serving plate. Set it back in the freezer.
• 12. To make the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
• 13. Frost the cake with the whipped cream and decorate as desired. I used Ateco tip 844 for piping the borders.
• 14. Freeze the cake until ready to serve. Cake is best when stored well covered and eaten within 4-5 days.

SHEET PAN ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with nonstick baking spray. Line the bottom with parchment. Set aside.
• Beat the eggs, sugar, baking powder and salt in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on high speed until the mixture is pale and very thick (enough to hold a wake from the whisk), about 10 minutes (see Cook's Note). Reduce the speed to medium-high and drizzle in the butter and vanilla until just combined, about 10 seconds. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour all at once. Beat until just combined, about 5 seconds. Gently fold the batter once or twice using a rubber spatula, then scrape it into the prepared sheet pan. Spread it evenly with the spatula, using broad, gentle strokes to keep the batter airy.
• Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the top is lightly golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and allow the cake to completely cool in the sheet pan.
• Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 15 minutes before assembling the cake to soften.
• Use a sharp paring knife to cut the cake into 3 rectangles,, approximately 9 1/2 -by-4 1/2 inches. Reserve the remaining cake trimmings for the last layer.
• Line the inside of a 10-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to cover the pan once the cake is fully assembled.
• Layer the bottom of the loaf pan with 1 cake rectangle, gently pushing it down to fit and trimming as needed. Spread the chocolate ice cream evenly over the cake using a rubber spatula. Continue layering with the remaining 2 cake rectangles and the strawberry and vanilla ice cream. Use the reserved cake trimmings for the top layer, cutting them to fit. Gently press down on each cake layer to fill in gaps as you go.
• Cover the top of the cake with the overhanging plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.]
• When ready to serve, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a glass small bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring with a rubber spatula, until completely melted and smooth. Set aside. (Alternatively, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, about 4 minutes.)
• Remove the plastic wrap overhang from the top of the loaf pan and flip the pan onto a serving platter. Lift to remove the pan, then gently peel the plastic wrap from the cake. If the cake will not release, allow it to sit (top side up) for 5 minutes, then gently tug on the plastic wrap to lift the cake from the pan.
• Pour the chocolate shell over the top of the ice cream cake, allowing some to drip down the sides. Slice to serve.
