Ice Cream Cake

This ice cream cake is delicious. The crushed up Oreos mixed with magical shell make the perfect crispy filling. So decadent and sweet. Who doesn't love ice cream cake? It takes a while to make it with all the freezing, but if you're home for most of the day it's not bad. You can do it over the course of a couple of days, too. It's so good! I ate mine and half of Jamie's.

Ingredients:

2 quarts ice cream, whatever flavors you want (I used chocolate and Oreo)

1.5 sleeves Oreos, filling removed (or if you can find them, chocolate wafers)

A few tbsp magic shell

Hot fudge (I used Hershey's but you can also make your own)

Whipped cream

Cherries and sprinkles (optional)

Chocolate Meringue and Mint Chip Ice Cream Cake

I've been drooling over this recipe since last summer and finally pulled my act together this weekend to make it. Yum! I love ice cream cake, I love mint chocolate chip ice cream, I love meringues. It's a win, win, win. The meringues are light and fluffy and chocolatey and the whole combination is great. Also looks super impressive. I halved the original recipe because there were only three of us and made it round.

Ingredients:
5 1/4 tbsp sugar, divided
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 large egg whites
1 pint mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened

1/4 cup chilled whipping cream
powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
