ice cream cake: take 5


We love birthdays at our house. We can't wait for the opportunity to try another ice cream cake concoction. This one turned out perfect. We decided it is one of our favorite ice cream cakes of all time. The inspiration was a Take 5 candy bar - chocolate, caramel, peanut butter, and pretzels. Try it and see the magic for yourself.

Take 5 Ice Cream Cake


Ingredients

20 peanut butter sandwich cookies
1/4 cup butter (melted)
10 oz jar of fudge
5.3 oz bag of Rollos
Moose Tracks ice cream
1 cup pretzel sticks (the skinny ones)
1/2 cup caramel (plus some to drizzle on top)

Instructions

In a food processor, pulse the peanut butter sandwich cookies until they are fine crumbs. Stir in the melted butter until the cookie crumbs stick together. Press into the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan. Microwave the fudge for 30 seconds or so until it is runny. Spread a thin layer on top of the cookie crumb crust. Chop up the Rollos to desired size. Sprinkle 2/3 of the Rollos on top of the fudge. Freeze for 1 hour, or until fudge hardens. Allow ice cream to soften for about 10 minutes. On a clean surface, scoop the ice cream, pretzels, and 1/2 cup of the caramel. Using two large spoons, combine the ice cream mixture making sure to break up the pretzels. Scoop ice cream mixture into the spring form pan and top with the rest of the chopped Rollos. Freeze for at least 1 hour before serving. Top with a drizzle of caramel syrup. Enjoy!
