Oreo Ice-Cream Cake



An ice-cream cake for a special occasion, birthday or party? A pretty easy cake to make. All you need is to do it 1 or 2 days before. A few store-bought ingredients will make this cake presentable and hopefully, a 'wow' factor. You can choose your fillings as what you like. Mix and match is the key here. I find it a little too sweet as I have added the dark chocolate chips. If I make this combination again, I would not use the chips. AND Twix. But the caramel is so goooood. Okay, perhaps half of it. ;)

A slice of the yummy ice-cream cake

Ingredients
2 litres of vanilla ice-cream
1 pack of 150g of OREO cookies
1 pack of Twix
2 layers of chocolate sponge cake (I have used ICA's brand)
50g of dark chocolate chips (optional)
3 dl of whipped cream
1 pack of baking dark chocolate
some cocoa powder

Method
  1. Line your baking pan with clingwrap. This makes it easy for removal later. 
  2. Remove the cream from Oreo cookies, place these cookies and Twix in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. You can have a variety of sizes (small bits and powderish). Keep some 'powderish' Oreo for decoration.
  3. Cream ice-cream, crushed cookies and dark chocolate chips till combined. Use low speed.
  4. Put 1 layer of chocolate sponge cake in the baking pan as the bottom layer. 
  5. Scoop the ice-cream mixture into the pan and level it. 
  6. Put the 2nd layer of chocolate sponge cake on top. Cover the cake with the cling wrap and freeze it overnight.
  7. Transfer the cake to a plate or a cake holder. Beat 3dl of whipped cream and use it to frost the cake. You can use a spatula or a spoon. Work quickly to avoid melting. 
  8. Sprinkle some 'powderish' Oreo at the sides of the cake and freeze it for 30 mins. 
  9. In the meanwhile, melt dark chocolate in the microwave or over a pot of boiling water. 
  10. Line a pan with a piece of parchment/baking paper and sprinkle some cocoa powder.
  11. Next, use a spoon and drizzle the melted chocolate all over a baking/parchment paper. You can create your own design. I did the 'scribbling' method. 
  12. Sift some cocoa powder on the melted chocolate and let them set in the fridge for 30 mins.
  13. Sprinkle the rest of the Oreo on the cake and layer the chocolate on top. You can break them into desired sizes.
  14. Pipe some whipped cream as decor and top with Oreo cookies.
  15. Serve it as soon as the decoration is done.
