Oreo Ice Cream Cake

Today is the last day of #SummerDessertWeek for me, and I'm sharing my version of an Oreo Ice Cream Cake. Both my son and husband have nut allergies so I've never been able to buy store bought ice cream cakes.  

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own.

 

I had a Pillsbury Funfetti Oreo cake mix in the cupboard and I thought it would be fun to use it as a base. I mixed it according to the package directions and then baked it in the awesome springform pan that Circulon generously sent to us for this event.

It cracked a bit on the top, but no big deal, I split it into two layers and crumbled the top one up anyway. I mixed those crumbs with some Oreos I ran through the food processor and set them aside.

I gave the pan a quick wash (it's super easy to clean!) and dried it off. I laid a piece of parchment on the bottom disk, placed the ring back on and closed it up.  I spread in some softened vanilla ice cream and topped it with some of the cake crumble/Oreo crumb mixture.

That went into the freezer for 2 hours or so, until it was solid.  Then I topped that with some softened chocolate ice cream.  Back into the freezer again, this time for 4 hours.

At this point, things went a bit sideways. Above mentioned guys felt the need to go in and out of the freezer repeatedly despite the sign saying not to, so when I pulled the cake out to do some whipped cream decorations, they all slid right off.  It wasn't pretty.

I quickly grabbed the rest of the crumb mixture, patted it all over the sides and then quickly stuck the cake back into the freezer.  I left it there overnight, hoping that after coffee in the morning things would go more smoothly.

Another round of decorating with whipped cream failed, so I added the last of the crumbs to the sides, re-smoothed the top and then quickly made a pretty pattern with some Oreos. Back into the freezer it went.

I pulled it out to slice it and I had warm water that I dipped my serrated knife into then wiped dry.  That made nice clean cuts.  For some reason the chocolate ice cream seemed meltier than the vanilla, but I assure you that it's absolutely delicious despite it's appearance!

Despite the challenges with this one I really enjoyed #SummerDessertWeek and I hope you have too.  Huge thanks to Angie for hosting, to all the other bloggers for their awesome recipes, and to our sponsors, Dixie Crystals and Circulon! Make sure to go and enter the giveaway down below!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker.  For the pepperoni pi

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!
