We are all health and nutrition conscious but if you're going to throw all the rules of proper eating out the window, this is the way to go! I took Leanne Hockenberry's tip and put a layer of hot fudge between the ice cream layers. When I said goodbye to my grandson who is 9 years old, and told him to visit again, he replied, "I'm coming on my Dad's birthday so that you'll make the ice cream cake again". He was visiting from the San Francisco area. It's extremely easy to make, and to compliment the texture I made a hot fudge sauce and spread it over the top of the finished cake (once it had cooled of course) and then sprinkled some mini mint-chocolate chips on top. I made this cake for a co-workers birthday and now other departments are trying to steal me away so that I will cook for them. Only problem came in the cutting of it because it melted too quickly! I prepared it for my daughter's birthday party and five of the eight friends she invited wanted the recipe! Rich and delicious and wonderfully easy. Made this with one layer of chocolate ice cream and another of chocolate-chip ice cream and put a thick layer of hot chocolate sauce between. I think adding the layer of chocolate whipped cream and using vanilla instead of cookies and cream made this cake taste lighter, although it is very rich & decadent. I used an 11" springform pan and made 1 1/2 times the ingredients called for. We couldn't find mint chocolate chips, so we melted Andes chocolate mints. I put a layer of chocolate whipped cream (using this recipe: ) between the chocolate chip mint and vanilla ice cream layers (I did not use cookies and cream ice cream either). Here are the changes I made last year & it turned out fabulous: I am making this for the 2nd year for the dessert table tomorrow (Thanksgiving). The fudge sauce recipe in that recipe is really fabulous and would be great in this recipe, too. My kids thought it was great, but I think a better recipe on this site is the "S'mores Coffee and Fudge Ice Cream Cake". I thought it was ok, although the crust was too crumbly and should have had some more melted butter (maybe another tablespoon) to help it stick together. One year I decided that I wanted to pick my birthday cake and made this - AMAZING!! I will use this recipe as a base for other flavor cakes
