Hot Dog Ice Cream Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the short sides.
• Prepare the cake mix with an extra egg. Divide the batter between the 2 baking sheets; spread evenly with an offset spatula. Bake until set, 8 to 9 minutes; let cool.
• Measure 2 1/2 inches in from each long side of one cake; mark with toothpicks. Score using a ruler, then remove the toothpicks and trim along the scored lines so the cake is 7 inches wide.
• Round the corners of the cake with a knife. Punch out holes with a straw (4 holes across, 10 down). Trim the other cake (no need to punch holes). Freeze the cakes 30 minutes.
• Invert the cake without the holes onto a clean baking sheet; peel off the parchment. Snip open 1 ice cream carton with kitchen shears, then slide the ice cream onto the cake.
• Repeat with the other 2 cartons of ice cream, arranging them side by side on the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and press with your hands to smooth the ice cream and fill the gaps.
• Remove the other cake from the parchment with a thin spatula; place it on the ice cream. Trim any excess cake and smooth the sides. Freeze at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Heat grill to 450 degrees F.
• Grill the hot dogs until nice and charred on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Butter the cut sides of the hoagie roll halves and grill, cut side-down, until charred, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Using a skewer or the tip of a small paring knife, poke about 10 holes in the bottom of a TK pan. Spray the entire pan with nonstick cooking spray (this is an important step). Now, layer in this order: one-third each of the charred hot dogs, Cheddar, provolone and salami. Repeat the layers 2 more times, making sure to finish with a layer of salami. Make sure that every layer is a snug fit, like you would a lasagna.
• Put the pan on the grill and close the lid. Grill until the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the loaf. Turn the pan out onto a cutting board, unveiling the hot dog loaf. Slice the loaf crosswise into 6 pieces, just as you would a meatloaf. To build your sandwich: start with your hot dog loaf on the bottom bun, then top with mustard, lettuce, tomato and a sprinkling of celery salt. Finish with the top bun.

Steps:

• Beat the ice cream in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, adding enough red gel food coloring to make the ice cream hot dog-colored. Return to the freezer if the ice cream gets too soft.
• Lay out 8 small sheets of plastic wrap. Quickly scoop some ice cream onto a sheet of plastic; use the plastic to form a hot dog shape, twisting the ends; freeze. Repeat to make more hot dogs; freeze 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the relish: Peel and dice the kiwis and mango. Transfer to a bowl and coarsely mash with a fork until the mixture looks like relish.
• Make the mustard: Mix the whipped topping with yellow food coloring and a dab of red to make it mustard-colored. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag.
• Make the sauerkraut: Put the shredded coconut in a small bowl and drizzle with a little maple syrup. Stir with a fork to combine.
• To serve, unwrap the hot dogs and place in the buns. Dip a toothpick in black food coloring (wipe off the excess) and press into the dogs to form grill marks. Pipe the whipped topping on the ice cream hot dogs; serve with the other toppings.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Stir the hot dogs, Cheddar cheese, relish, ketchup, mustard, and onion together in a bowl; spoon into the hot dog buns. Wrap each sandwich in aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
