temptation

Today is my Little Brother's 11th birthday and he really, really wanted an ice cream cake.  Being the ultra cool kid he is he is addicted to pinterest as am I.  We browsed pinterest together and got inspired to make an Oreo Crunch Brownie Ice Cream Cake.  I looked up a few DIY sites on Ice Cream Cakes since I had never attempted one, then like always I just went for it and made it my own.

I will not get to sample this amazing cake but it sure looks good sitting in the freezer waiting for the party of boys to devour it...

Here is how I went about it:

I made 1 box of Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownies in the bottom of a round spring form pan.  I cooked it for 9 min less than the box said.

Then I allowed it to cool, and then added the chocolate fudge topping.

Once that had some time to set up, I added one layer of Dreyer's Cookies N' Cream Slow Churned Ice Cream One Layer was one whole tub.  On top of which I added broken Oreo Cookie Crumbs and Hershey's Chocolate Shell Topping drizzled over it.

I placed it back in the freezer to firm up.  Then once it firmed up, I added yet another layer of Cookies N' Cream Ice Cream.  Once again I returned it to the the freezer and then finally I added a Whipped Cream Frosting, and decorated with more Chocolate Shell and Oreos for good measure.
