Cookies And Cream Funnel Cake Sandwiches Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. Place over medium-high heat and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place a cooling rack on top.
• Make the batter: Pour the cake mix into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the flour and baking powder. Add the milk and eggs. Use a hand mixer to blend the wet ingredients into the dry, until the batter is smooth and free of any lumps. Scrape the batter into a pastry bag and snip a small hole in the tip.
• Quickly squeeze the batter in a circular motion into the hot oil, creating a lacey round about 3 inches wide. Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Gently remove from the oil and flip onto the cooling rack (they are fragile). Repeat to make 16 funnel cakes. They will become crispy as they cool.
• Allow the ice cream to soften on the counter for about 5 minutes. Scoop the ice cream onto 8 funnel cakes. Top each scoop with another funnel cake and gently press down. Dust the ice cream sandwiches with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Separate the cream from the cookies into 2 different bowls.
• Place the cookies into a plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs with a rolling pin. Set aside ½ cup (50g) of the crumbs for later.
• Pour the cookie crumbs into a bowl and combine with the melted butter, mixing until the texture is like slightly wet sand.
• Press the cookie crumbs in an even layer into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Set aside.
• In a medium pot over low heat, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, the cream from the cookies, and vanilla extract, stirring until there are no lumps.
• In a measuring cup, mix the milk with the gelatin until dissolved.
• Pour the milk into the cream cheese mixture, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to bubble slightly. Remove from heat.
• Pour the mixture over the cookie crust in the springform pan. Using a spatula or a spoon, smooth the top.
• Sift the saved cookie crumbs on top of the cheesecake in an even layer, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Unclasp the ring of the springform pan, slice, then serve!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl blend, cream cheese, butter, and sugar until fully combined.
• Add flour to cream cheese mixture and continue to blend together until fully combined.
• Add crushed cookies to the mixture and gently fold together. Ensure the cheesecake batter is fully mixed.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until batter is firm to touch.
• Preheat oven to 350°F(180°C).
• Roll batter into small balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Using your fingers or a warm spoon press down on the dough balls to help form a cookie shape.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cookies turn golden brown on the bottom.
• Place cookies on a cooling rack and rest for at least 5 minutes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the frosting: Put the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth; let cool slightly. Beat the butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the melted white chocolate and beat until combined. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth.
• Assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a platter; spread 1 cup frosting on top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped cookies. Top with the second cake layer. Cover the whole cake with the remaining frosting, then press the remaining cookies into the sides.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch-round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper; butter the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
• Whisk 3 cups flour, the baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined. Beat 2 sticks butter and the sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium; beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.)
• Mix 1/2 cup water with the cream in a liquid measuring cup or bowl. Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour, until just smooth.
• Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and the centers spring back when pressed, 25 to 30 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:

• Make the funnel cakes: In a large Dutch oven or deep pot fitted with a deep fry thermometer, heat the neutral oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C) (the oil should be no more than 1½ inches deep). Set a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
• In a large bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined. Divide the batter evenly between 2 medium bowls.
• Sift 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder into one bowl and whisk until combined. Add the red food coloring to the remaining bowl, then sift in the remaining ½ tablespoon of cocoa powder and whisk until combined. Using a funnel, transfer each batter to a squeeze bottle.
• Make the chocolate sauce: Add the chocolate to a medium heat-proof bowl.
• Microwave the cream on high power for 2 minutes, until just starting to bubble.
• Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Add the black food coloring and sift in the dark cocoa powder, then stir until melted and smooth. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and let sit at room temperature until ready to use. Microwave in 10-seconds intervals if needed to loosen before using.
• Fry the funnel cakes: Working with one batter at a time, squeeze the batter into the hot oil in a squiggly circle motion to make a 4-inch round funnel cake. Squeeze in 1-2 more funnel cakes; do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until slightly darker in color, then use a spider to transfer from the oil to the wire rack. Transfer to the oven to keep warm while you fry the remaining funnel cakes.
• When ready to serve, spread the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies on a serving platter. Place the gummy worms around the edges of the platter, nestling into the crushed cookies. Set the funnel cakes on top of the cookie crumbs. Dust the red funnel cakes with ¼ cup powdered sugar, then drizzle with the chocolate sauce using a spoon or squeeze bottle.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the marshmallows for 12-15 seconds, until nearly doubled in size. Using gloved hands, pick up the melted marshmallows and stretch them over each black funnel cake to create a "web".
• Enjoy!
