Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Cake

Two favorite treats, ice cream and chocolate chip cookies, come together in one delicious, make-ahead frozen dessert. It layers ice cream, cookies and fudge sauce in a cinnamon-spiced crust.

Crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Filling
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 (1.75-qt.) cartons or 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
24 (2-inch) soft chocolate chip cookies, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 4 cups), divided

Heat oven to 325°. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and cinnamon in medium bowl until crumbs are moistened; stir in 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips. Press into bottom of 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 6 minutes or until set. Cool completely on wire rack.

Meanwhile, heat cream in medium saucepan over medium heat until hot and steamy. Remove from heat; add bittersweet chocolate chips. Let stand 1 minute; stir until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla. Cool 20 minutes or until room temperature.

Place ice cream in refrigerator 20 minutes or until slightly softened. Spread half of the ice cream over crust; quickly spread with spatula to level. Sprinkle half of the cookies over ice cream. Quickly spoon 1 1/4 cups of the chocolate sauce over cookies and ice cream; spread with spatula to cover. Freeze 15 minutes to firm sauce.

Quickly spread remaining ice cream over sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cookies; drizzle with remaining sauce. (If necessary, warm sauce in microwave on high 10 to 20 seconds or until of desired consistency. Sauce will not cover top completely.)

Freeze 2 hours to firm sauce. Wrap tightly; freeze overnight or up to 1 week. Place in refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Cut with warm knife. Store in freezer. Makes 24 servings

Post  justmecookin Wed Aug 20, 2008 9:58 am

Raspberry-Swirled Bundt Cake

Raspberries play a dual role in this perfect-for-a-crowd cake. A puree of the berries is swirled into the batter, while a handful of slightly sweetened fresh ones garnishes each serving. An irresistible almond icing makes a delicious finishing touch.

Cake
1 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry preserves
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup sour cream

Icing & Garnish
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups fresh raspberries

Heat oven to 350°. Spray 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray; sprinkle with flour, tapping out excess. Puree 1 cup raspberries and preserves in food processor until smooth. Strain through fine strainer into small bowl, pressing with spatula to remove seeds. Measure 1/3 cup puree (save any remaining puree for another use).

Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Beat eggs and 2 cups sugar in large bowl at medium speed 1 minute or until thick, fluffy and slightly lightened in color. Beat in oil, lemon juice, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract at low speed. Beat in flour mixture just until blended. Beat in sour cream until blended.

Pour two-thirds of the batter into pan. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the puree; drizzle remainder over batter. With thin knife, swirl lightly through batter, keeping away from edges. Pour remaining batter on top. Drizzle with reserved puree; swirl lightly.

Bake 50 minutes or until wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack 15 minutes. Run thin knife around sides and center tube; invert onto wire rack. Cool completely. (Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and store at room temperature.)

Whisk powdered sugar, milk and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract in small bowl until smooth; drizzle over cake. Let stand until icing is set.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over 2 cups raspberries; let stand 30 minutes or until sugar has melted. Serve cake garnished with raspberries. Makes 16 servings

Cake Recipes - Page 6 Empty Apricot Upside-Down Cake

Post  justmecookin Wed Aug 20, 2008 10:11 am

Apricot Upside-Down Cake

Two fruits with a limited season—apricots and cherries—star in this moist and tender homey cake. As the fruit bakes in the buttery brown sugar topping, the apricots soften and develop a luscious melt-in-your-mouth texture.

12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 medium apricots (12 oz.), quartered
12 whole pitted fresh cherries
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk, room temperature

Heat oven to 375°. Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter; pour into 8-inch square glass baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Arrange 4 apricot quarters in row down one side of dish, evenly spaced. Place 1 cherry in arc of each apricot quarter. Make a second row of apricots and cherries in center, turning apricots opposite way. Repeat with a row down the other side. Gently press on apricots to flatten slightly.

Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl.

Beat remaining 6 tablespoons butter in medium bowl at medium speed 1 minute or until creamy. Add sugar; beat 1 minute or until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. At low speed, beat in flour mixture alternately with milk until just blended, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Spoon over fruit; spread gently.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until cake is deep golden brown and center is firm to the touch. Cool in dish on wire rack 10 minutes. Carefully turn cake upside-down on extra-large serving plate to accumulate excess juices. Remove baking dish; cool completely. Makes 8 servings
