Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed chocolate cookies
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 quart strawberry ice cream
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Optional: extra strawberries and chocolate for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze for 15 minutes to set.
- Ice Cream: Allow the strawberry ice cream to soften slightly. Spread it evenly over the cookie crust. Sprinkle a layer of sliced strawberries over the ice cream. Freeze for 30 minutes to set.
- Vanilla Layer: Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften slightly. Spread it evenly over the strawberry layer. Freeze for at least 1 hour or until the ice cream is firm.
- Chocolate Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Ganache: Remove the cake from the freezer. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Freeze for another 30 minutes to set the ganache.
- Serve: Before serving, garnish with extra strawberries and chocolate if desired. Remove the cake from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy the delicious layers of this Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ice Cream Cake!
