Recipe Summary

Yield: Makes one 10-inch cake

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

3 1/2 quarts mint-chocolate-chip ice cream

Vanilla Bowl Cake

1 large scoop chocolate ice cream

2 small round white candies such as Mentos and M&Ms, for decorating

Black licorice laces, for decorating

4 chocolate-mint wafer cookies (1 1/2-inch round), for decorating

1 tablespoon chocolate chips, melted and cooled, for decorating

      Cook's Notes

To make a baby sea turtle, use a single large scoop of mint-chip ice cream for a shell. Use a smaller ice-cream scoop for his chocolate ice-cream head (use the scoop to carve a niche to set it in). Tuck brown candy-coated chocolates underneath for feet and a tail, and add candy features like Dad’s.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 quarts mint-chocolate-chip ice cream
  • Vanilla Bowl Cake
  • 1 large scoop chocolate ice cream
  • 2 small round white candies such as Mentos and M&Ms, for decorating
  • Black licorice laces, for decorating
  • 4 chocolate-mint wafer cookies (1 1/2-inch round), for decorating
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips, melted and cooled, for decorating

Directions

Line a rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap. Scoop out 2 1/2 quarts mint-chocolate-chip ice cream (about thirty-five 1 1/2-ounce scoops), and place on prepared baking sheet; refreeze for at least 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, soften remaining 1 quart mint-chocolate-chip ice cream; set aside. Line a 12-cup bowl with plastic wrap; freeze briefly, then fill with the scoops of ice cream, rounded side down, to extend beyond rim (fill in gaps with extra).

Place cake, flat-side up, over ice cream scoops, then spread softened mint-chocolate-chip ice cream on top using an offset spatula. Cover with plastic wrap, and refreeze for at least 4 hours.

Unmold ice cream cake onto a serving platter. Using a 2 1/2-ounce ice cream scoop, carve a niche into the edge of the turtle shell; nestle a scoop of chocolate ice cream into niche for the head. Decorate head using black licorice for the mouth and nose and white candy for the eyes (using the blunt end of a skewer, dot melted chocolate onto the white candies for pupils). Tuck chocolate-mint wafers under cake for feet. Serve immediately.
