Berries And Cherries Ice Cream Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Combine vodka and 1/3 cup sugar; gently stir in cherries and berries. Let stand 2 hours, stirring occasionally; or refrigerate, covered, up to 12 hours. Strain (reserving syrup for another use).
• Pulse wafers in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt; pulse until mixture has the texture of wet sand. Press half of mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan; freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Temper cherry ice cream in the refrigerator until it has the texture of soft-serve, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, beat cream with remaining 1/3 cup sugar to soft peaks. Stir two thirds of whipped cream (refrigerate the remainder) into cherry ice cream just to combine. Pour ice cream mixture over crust; smooth top and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• Top with remaining crumb mixture; press to lightly pack. Freeze 20 minutes. Meanwhile, temper vanilla ice cream in the refrigerator about 20 minutes, then stir into remaining whipped cream just to combine. Fold in half of cherry-berry mixture. Spread over crumb mixture, smooth top, and sprinkle with remaining berry-cherry mixture. Cover and freeze at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
• Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of boiling water. Let cool until no longer hot but still pourable, about 10 minutes. Run a thin-bladed knife between cake and sides of pan to loosen; remove sides. Run knife between bottom of cake and pan; transfer to a cake plate. Drizzle chocolate evenly over cake; top with whole cherries and berries.
• Return to freezer until chocolate hardens, 2 to 3 minutes; or freeze, loosely covered, up to 8 hours. Slice into wedges using a sharp knife dipped in hot water (if cake is too firm to slice, let temper in the refrigerator 10 to 15 minutes first).

Steps:

• Assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a platter; scoop the ice cream on top and spread it to the edge using an offset spatula. Top with the second cake layer, then run the spatula around the sides to smooth the ice cream. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
• Make the topping: About 30 minutes before serving, remove the cake from the freezer and let stand at room temperature. Toss the berries and 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl; set aside until ready to serve. Beat the heavy cream, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and the vanilla in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed until medium peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread on top of the cake. Top with the berries and their juices.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch-round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• Whisk the cocoa powder and 1 1/2 cups boiling water in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until combined. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream and vanilla and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the cocoa mixture in a steady stream until just combined, then finish mixing with a rubber spatula. (The batter will be thin.)
• Divide the batter between the prepared pans and tap the pans against the counter to help the batter settle. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

Steps:

• Mix the berries together with a little sugar. Pile cake cubes up in goblets or sundae cups. Top the cake with berries. Melt ice cream in microwave for 15 to 20 seconds. Stir out any bumps in your melted ice cream and pour evenly over cake and berries.

Steps:

• Prepare brownie mix using water, applesauce, oil and eggs. Bake according to package directions; cool completely on a wire rack., Crumble brownies into 1-in. pieces; sprinkle half into a 13-in. x 9-in. dish coated with cooking spray. Spread evenly with ice cream. Press remaining brownie pieces into ice cream. Cover and freeze for 1 hour or until firm., Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before serving. For sauce, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, honey, lime juice, vinegar, cinnamon and cayenne. Add berries; cook for 3-5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Cut cake into squares; top with hot berry sauce.

Steps:

• Remove stem caps from strawberries. Slice strawberries thinly and combine with blueberries in medium bowl. Stir in sugar, water, and vanilla.
