OH-LA-LA-LA! We had a special birthday to celebrate this weekend and really needed something to knock the birthday girl's socks off! She wanted brownies, she wanted black raspberry truffle ice cream - and she asked me to surprise her with something special. She was speechless with the wonder of it all! This is a wonderful change of pace from a traditional ice cream cake - and so easy to make! And the beauty is that you can customize this to YOUR favorites. Vanilla bean? Chocolate? Mint Chocolate? Superman ice cream? You get the idea! I wanted a sturdier base that just cookie crumbs or graham crackers, so I started with a base of our favorite brownie recipe - Chewy Fudge Brownies. We had picked up the birthday girl's favorite ice cream from Loder's Shake Shoppe in North Royalton, and I had that waiting in the freezer. Black Raspberry Truffle ice cream was the star of the show, layered with a cookie hot fudge layer and topped with chocolate ice cream. Drizzled with the tiniest bit of hot fudge, topped with chocolate whipped cream and the freshest raspberries - ice cream cake perfection! The secret to this is really just time, because you really can't short-change the freezer time required between each step. Have you ever seen a more beautiful ice cream cake? And the fun of it all is that the possibilities are endless! And never was anything that was really so easy to make, so absolutely breathtaking to serve and delicious to eat!
