Description

Easy and delicious ice cream cake with a brownie layer and M&M’s topping – perfect for a celebration in summer!


Ingredients

Scale

For the base

  • 7 oz. (200g) Oreo cookies
  • 1/4 cup (55g) butter, melted

For the filing

  • 1,5l vanilla ice cream
  • 23 brownies

For the decoration

  • 1/2 cup (90g) melted chocolate or pre-made chocolate sauce (Eiswunder)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) M&M’s
  • mixed sprinkles
  • whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Line a 6 inches (15cm) springform tin with baking parchment or wax paper (if you grease it lightly, the paper sticks better to the sides). Melt the butter and let cool down a bit.
  2. Add the Oreo cookies to a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin until you get fine crumbs. Mix with the melted butter until well combined. Pour the crumbs into the tin and press to the bottom and sides to form a nice crust – the edges should be at least halfway up the sides of the tin. Place in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  3. Add about half of the ice cream to the prepared crust and spread evenly to get a nice layer. Crumble the brownies and sprinkle on top of the ice to get a brownie layer, then top with the remaining ice cream. Smooth out the top and place in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes.
  4. If you are using melted chocolate, let it cool down (it will melt the ice if it is still warm), if you are using the pre-made chocolate sauce, shake it well. Remove the cake from the tin and place on a serving plate. Pour the chocolate (sauce) on top of the cake and let it flow over the edges to get a nice dripping effect. Place the M&M’s on top and sprinkle with mixed sprinkles. Freeze for another hour or overnight. Decorate with some whipped cream before serving. Store in the freezer (of course!) ;)
