Units
Scale
- 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 quarts strawberry ice cream, slightly softened
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Fresh strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Freeze until set.
- Let strawberry ice cream soften slightly at room temperature. Spread evenly over the frozen crust. Return to freezer until firm (at least 1–2 hours).
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth to create ganache.
- Pour ganache over firm ice cream layer and spread evenly. Freeze again until ganache is set (about 1 hour).
- Before serving, let cake sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. Garnish with fresh strawberries and slice to serve.
Notes
- Use a springform pan for easy removal and neat layers.
- Mix chopped strawberries into the ice cream layer for extra texture and flavor.
- Try using vanilla or raspberry ice cream as a variation.
- Top with chocolate curls or drizzle for added elegance.
