This came down the pike from Julie Kobie in PA

I have been selling the Prep Bowls like crazy ... and eager for a full July with the Pinch Bowl specials....

Here's one suggestion I have offered to my customers:

Our family just loves the "I Scream for Ice Cream" cake recipe from our Kids in the Kitchen Cookbook. When caught with a time shortage on Friday, I adapted the recipe and created individual ice cream cakes in the Prep Bowls. They were a big hit!!


PERSONALIZED ICE CREAM CAKES in PREP BOWLS
For each serving, you need:

3 Oreo cookies

1 teas. butter (melted)

3-4 scoops of your favorite ice cream flavors (2 different kinds is best)

small candy bars, optional



Finely chop all Oreo cookies using Food Chopper. Melt Butter in small batter bowl; add cookie crumbs and mix well. Scoop first flavor of ice cream into Large Batter Bowl; mix until smooth and spread-able (may add chopped up candy bars to this layer). Using the ice cream dipper, scoop 1-2 scoops into a prep bowl; using the back part of the ice cream dipper spoon to spread smoothly. Add a Tablespoon of Oreo Cookie Crumbs, pressing lightly into the ice cream to cover. Set in freezer for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, finish remaining Prep Bowl cakes and put in freezer asap. Repeat with second flavor of ice cream; and top with remaining oreo cookie crumbs. Freeze for at least 1 hour. Enjoy! May be frozen longer -- store with lids on if in the freezer for more than 1 hour. We used vanilla ice cream mixed with Chunks of PB Cups for our first layer, and chocolate for our second layer. With all the flavors available, the possibilities are endless! Enjoy! :)

Just wanted to share.
 
Oh - yum! I really want one now... darn you, Carolyn!
 
Me too! It is so HOT and HUMID here, that would hit the spot! Thanks for sharing, I'll will definately make them with the kids :)

OMG - I couldn't imagine doing a KSL at NC. I'd have a panic attack!!!
They tell you what recipe to do. I have to practice a recipe like 45,000 times before I'd feel comfy enough to do it in front of several hundred peers...yikes!:eek:
 
Dang! These sound great.
 
These sound great! Thanks for the recipe.

How easy are they to get out of the prep bowl for serving? Do you think you need to line them with plastic wrap?

I bet they'd be really good with Chocolate Fudge Sauce drizzled over the top too! Or even that Magic Shell stuff.
 
What a fun and cool idea! (ha, another play on words) My daughter would soooo love these, and so would my hubby. I wonder if there's a way to mix in something with the cookie layer so it would fudgey like, like DQ does theirs. Hmmmm, ideas??
 
to get the fudgey concept use the technique they use for the ice cream cake recipe we have.
1 small box of chocolate pudding, 1 cup of milk, and cool whip (I think about 1/2 of a 12 oz. tub...mix together...will be thick..then add some chopped up oreos. This is the filling. When it freezes it tastes just like DQ's center.
 
Thanks Karlene! I am going to do some of these for my DS. My granny also loves DQ's ice cream cakes, but even the small ones are too big. This will be a great way for me to make some for her too.
 
Whoa! What a great thread. It would be an awesome idea for a kids summer party or a playdate, scout meetings, etc. You could combine it with the Ice Cream Sandwich Maker.

I know what you mean exactly! I don't even like to demo at our TEAM meeting. How do you think I felt when I had to speak in front of almost 200 at NC last year! OMG!!!:eek:



The recipe sounds wonderful but with timing and all do you really have time to let them freeze for an hour?
 
I made these for dessert today - yummo!

I made some with chocolate and vanilla ice crean and some with Tiramisu ice cream (bought that one by mistake, thought I was buying mocha chip... :( .) They were delish! I put the crumbled oreos in the center along with some choc fudge sauce and then drizzeld them with Chocolate Fudge Magic Shell when I plated them. Very good!
