My self improved Oreo Icecream cake

My hubby betted with his second auntie on something and he lost the bet. So now he ows his second auntie a Swensen treat, and all his cousins are asking for the ice creams ! Since it is hubby's birthday on Sunday, I decide to self improve on the Oreo Ice Cream cake. And I am proud to present my new self improved Oreo Ice cream cake made up of the following:

Bottom Layer - Oreo Biscuits
1st Layer - Half Chocolate Ice Cream & Half Vanilla Ice Cream
2nd Layer - Oreo Biscuits
3rd Layer - Cookie & Cream Ice Cream
4th Layer - Chocolate Whipping Cream
5th Layer - Oreo Biscuits

However, I was quite impatient and didn't wait for at least 6hours for the cake shape to be formed. I removed the mould too early and the cake was kinda ruined at the side. Anyway, I am not sure about the taste. But I think it should taste great. Looking forward to taste it tomorrow !!!

Oreo Icecream Cake

I tried making an Oreo Ice cream cake today. Wanted to do testing before I do up a real one for my hubby this Sunday to celebrate his birthday on Monday. Gotten the recipe from this "Happy Home Baking site, mine doesn't look as nice. But nevermind ! It is my first attempt, I will do a nicer one this Sat/Sunday. But it is really yummy !!! Those who want to eat this cake, must visit me within these few days !! hahha

Ingredients

110g oreo cookies (finely crumbled)
40g butter, melted and cool
about 1 tub of ice cream (1.5 ltr)
1 cup whipping cream
150g dark chocolate, finely chopped

Method:

1.Line the sides of a loose bottom pan with plastic sheets. Set aside.

2.Place oreo crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the crumbs are moistened. Press the crumbs evenly into the base of the prepared pan. Use the back of the spoon, smooth out the crumbs and press firmly. Freeze the base for at least 1 hour.

3.Soften the ice cream at room temperature. When the ice cream is soft enough, place it in a mixing bowl. With a spoon or spatula, stir the ice cream until it is spreadable. Spoon the ice cream over the oreo base, ensure all gaps are filled. Depending on the depth of the pan, fill it with enough ice cream till it reaches about half to one inche before the rim. Cover with a cling wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours.

4.When the ice cream layer is set, prepare the chocolate ganache. Place cream and finely chopped dark chocolates in a bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir till the chocolate melts complete. Leave to cool off.

5.This step has to be done as quickly as possible. Spread the chocolate ganache over the ice cream layer. Decorate as desired.

6.Cover with cling wrap and freeze for at least another 6 hours before unmolding. When ready to unmold, dampen a kitchen towel with hot water and wrap it around the pan and hold it there for about 10seconds. Remove the towel and unmold. After unmolding the cake, return it back into the freezer to firm up before serving
