Creating the Ultimate Ice Cream Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide
Yesterday marked a significant milestone for young Leo, who celebrated his fifth birthday. While it’s hard to accept that my little one is growing up so quickly, his desire for an ice cream cake prompted me to take action. When it comes to birthday wishes, I believe in fulfilling them wholeheartedly.
My partner, Alex, frequently reminisces about a dessert from his childhood called “Yodel Pie.” The original recipe featured just three ingredients: Yodels, ice cream, and hot fudge. While it certainly sounded delightful, I knew I could elevate it. Instead of using store-bought hot fudge, I opted to create a homemade version. With both vanilla ice cream and Oreos on hand, I crushed the cookies and enhanced the ice cream with an abundance of Oreo pieces—far exceeding the amount found in any commercial brand. The result? A rich and indulgent treat.
I wish you could experience the taste because it’s truly remarkable. If you’re eager to try making this treat, here’s a simple breakdown of the ingredients and method:
1. Ingredients:
- Two boxes of Yodels (or Swiss snack cakes), each sliced into six pieces
- Two gallons of your preferred flavor of softened ice cream
- Homemade hot fudge (you could use two jars of store-bought, but I highly recommend making it fresh for the best taste)
2. Homemade Hot Fudge Recipe:
In a saucepan, combine 1 container of sweetened condensed milk, 1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, one unsweetened square of baking chocolate, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Heat until melted, then stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla. This takes only a few minutes.
3. Assembly:
- Begin by layering the Yodel slices at the bottom of a bowl. Follow with a layer of ice cream, then drizzle hot fudge over it. Repeat these layers until you reach the top of the bowl. Don’t forget to sprinkle any chocolate shavings that have fallen off during slicing on top.
- Place the assembled cake in the freezer for a few hours to allow it to firm up.
The kids thoroughly enjoyed it, even licking their plates clean—yes, that included Alex! They’ve already requested that I recreate this dessert for every birthday celebration this year, which works for me since it’s simple to make and hard to mess up.
