Hi guys I'm Laura Vitale
In this episode of Laura in the kitchen,
I'm going to show you how to make...
An Oreo ice cream cake
Here's all you need...
Vanilla Ice Cream...
Store bought caramel sauce...
Store bought chocolate syrup
You need Oreo cookies of course
And some walnuts in syrup
Okay!
First thing you want to do is...
take a 9 inch spring form pan,
and line it with plastic wrap
This just makes it easier for you to take the cake out
once it's set
You also want to take your ice cream,
and you want to leave it at room temperature
for about 45 minutes
A half-hour to 45 minutes
You want it to get nice and soft because...
if you don't its going to be kind of hard for you to mix in all of your ingredients
Work it with your wooden spoon
This is going to go back into the freezer for several hours before the syrup
You could do this the night before.
You could do this a few hours before your guests arrive.
That's perfect
Here's what I'm going to do
I want to take these Oreo''s
And I want to line the outside...
of the pan
Just like that
It's going to be a little bit difficult
some of it may stay, some of it may not
So you have to work with it
Once you get the hang of it, they'll all stay standing
This is going to be really neat because...
you're gonna be able to cut each slice, and every slice that you cut...
they're gonna have an OREO right on the outside of it
See, once you get the hang of it, it's really easy
Unless they start falling on you
Almost done
And as far as the crust
what I do is I take the cookies...
I open them up
And I line the bottom of them
The don't have to be perfect because...
nobody is going to see them
Just like that
You can make the dough either way, that doesn't make a difference
If you want it to, you could buy an already pre-made
Graham cracker chocolate crust
I know that they also have an OREO crust
or an OREO cookie crust
I couldn't find any in my store so this is what I've been doing
Forever
Okay.
Just line the bottom like that
Here we go. It doesn't have to be perfect
You're going to have these Oreo's running through your Ice Cream
Okay
So, we have our Ice Cream
We're going to put in about a quarter cup of Caramel Sauce
Same amount...
If I can get this open...
I'll grab a knife...
A quarter cup of the chocolate sauce
Then...
We're going to take
one of these big Ziploc bags
I'm going to show you how to get frustration out.
You had a hard day of work...
If you're angry at someone...
Put some OREO cookies in a bag...
[excitedly places Oreo's into plastic bag]
We're going to put most of these...
I'm going to leave a couple left behind because I want to be able to decorate the top of the cake with them
Picture this being your boss or somebody that really gave you a hard time that day.
and start whacking
We're almost done!
[aggressively smashes Oreo cookies into tiny crumbs]
That's perfect
What you want are these coarse...
I'll show you better...
Nice and coarse crumbs like that
Because when you bite into your cake,
You want to be able to taste whatever it is you're eating
Let's put these in here
[continues to sprinkle crumbs into bowl]
Most of these go in
I'm going to sprinkle the top with just a little left
This is soooo good!
Oh my gosh!
Wait til' you make this
You're going to find a reason to make this all of the time
Not that you need a reason...
And it's with things that you probably already have in your house
I mean if you have kids, you definitely have OREO's
Or, like me, I don't have kids, but I always have OREO's
And I'm sure everybody has a pint of Vanilla Ice Cream
In their freezer
Now what I'm going to do...
You grab a spoon...
I'm going to take these walnuts in syrup
You'll only need about half of this little jar
Now the reason why I like this, is because I love biting into...
These umm...
These walnuts
They're so sweet and they're so crunchy
And you don't want to put a lot of them in, just a little
Just as a little surprise for people
[mixing]
Move your pan over to you
And you can pour this right into the middle
Do you see how important it is for your Ice Cream to be room temperature?
Well, not room temperature, but to let it sit out for a while
because otherwise, this would be almost impossible to do
I'm purposefully not cleaning out the bowl
so that I can clean it out later with the spoon and my lips
Okay.
Perfect.
I've leveled it out
I'm going to sprinkle some of the leftover OREO crumbs
And you can put anything you wanted in there...
If you had some salted or roasted peanuts, you could put them in here
Or some almonds, or some hazelnuts
Anything you want really
Then you want to take some more of your caramel sauce, and just...
do that
And across
Now the Saran-wrap is going to help you enormously when you take this out.
Now it has to go back into the freezer for at least 4-6 hours
I know it sounds like a long time but you want to make sure that your Ice Cream cake is really set
Otherwise when you slice it,
It's all going to fall apart and be a big mess
So, into the freezer for about 4-6 hours
The cake is set
It's been in the freezer for about 6 hours
See how easy the plastic wrap makes it for you?
Ohhh yesss
And just slide it onto your cake pan
It's gonna be a little tricky getting the plastic out
Just like that, place half of it down
Then the other half of it
Almost there
Here we go!
Look at that!
I'm so excited
So excited, It's gorgeous
Let me just grab a paper towel
And the great part about it,
Because of our OREO cookies that we outlined the pan with...
Look, every time you cut a slice...
I'm just going to cut one slice to show you
Look at that!
Every slice has an OREO cookie on the back!
Just like that!
So you make even slices
There you go!
