Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Ice Cream Filling
- 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1 cup Galaxy Ripple chocolate bars, roughly chopped
Topping
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
- 1 cup whipped cream or topping
- Extra Galaxy Ripple pieces for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan and Crust: Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent sticking. In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until the mixture is well combined and holds together when pressed.
- Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even crust layer. Freeze the crust for 10 minutes to set firmly before adding the filling.
- Mix Ice Cream and Chocolate Pieces: In a large bowl, gently fold the roughly chopped Galaxy Ripple chocolate bars into the softened vanilla ice cream, ensuring the chocolate is evenly distributed without melting the ice cream.
- Assemble the Cake: Pour the ice cream mixture over the chilled crust in the pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Drizzle chocolate syrup evenly across the surface, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the syrup into the ice cream, creating a ripple effect.
- Freeze the Cake: Cover the cake securely and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cake to fully set and firm up.
- Decorate and Serve: Before serving, carefully remove the cake from the springform pan. Top with whipped cream and scatter extra Galaxy Ripple pieces on top for garnish. Slice into 8 portions and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for 10–15 minutes prior to assembling to make spreading easier.
- You can substitute vanilla ice cream for chocolate or caramel-flavored ice cream if you prefer a richer taste.
- Ensure the crust is firmly packed and chilled well to avoid sogginess once layered with the ice cream.
- For easier removal, chill your cutter or knife in warm water before slicing.
