Making the strawberry ice cream cake
You will make the oreo crust first. Crush the Oreos by using a food processor. Mix crushed oreos with melted butter. Press the mixture into a pan. Refrigerate until the ice cream is ready.
Now you will make the strawberry ice cream. In a bowl, toss sugar and chopped strawberries and let that sit at room temperature for 5- 10 minutes. Puree a little over half of the strawberries until smooth. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl, including the chopped strawberries. Pour into ice cream maker and make ice cream according to the manufacturer. Spoon over Oreo crust. Freeze until firm, or at least 6 hours.
To make the chocolate ganache, warm the heavy whipping cream until it’s almost boiling. Pour heavy whipping cream into the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute. Then stir until smooth.
Pour chocolate ganache over cake. Freeze until ready to serve.
Tips
- If you don’t have a 6 inch springform pan, a regular 6 inch pan will work. First you will line the pan with plastic wrap. Make sure the plastic wrap hangs over edges for easier removal. Then line the pan with parchment paper. Make sure that the parchment paper is taller then the pan because the ice cream cake will be taller than the pan.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can substitute any strawberry ice cream from your grocery store.
- This ice cream recipe makes A LOT of ice cream. So you will have some ice cream left over. You can eat it, or you can make the cake in a larger pan.
- I would recommend using good quality chocolate for the chocolate ganache. Good quality chocolate ensures a smooth ganache. A baking chocolate bar would be best.
ENJOY!
