Coffee Crisp Ice Cream Cake

I know this recipe doesn't technically fall under the 'baking' category but this cake was too good not to share with you.  It was my boyfriends birthday a few weeks ago and his favorite type of cake is ice cream.  His mom usually gets a DQ cake (because they are the best!) but this year I decided to challenge myself and make him an ice cream cake of my own.  I decided to go with a coffee and chocolate combination but you can change it up with any type of flavoring you like.  The cake was surpisingly easy to make and really, really, really good. 

Side Note:  I tried putting chocolate fudge sauce between the layers of ice creams but the kind of sauce that I bought didn't freeze very well and oozed out the side of cake when I prepared it.  I decided to leave this part out of the recipe below because it was messy but feel free to give it a try!  Enjoy!

Coffee Crisp Ice Cream Cake

3-4L Vanilla Ice Cream (I bought one of those big buckets of ice cream from the store and used almost all of it)
4 Coffee Crisp chocolate bars, food processed
1/4 Cup very strongly brewed coffee, at room temperature (the strongest coffee you could ever make X 10)

For decoration:
Chocolate fudge sauce
Slivered almonds

1) Cover the inside of a springform pan with plastic wrap entirely, even allowing excess to hang over the edges of the pan
2) Let vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for 10-15min until just soft enough but not melting
3) Scoop 1-2L of ice cream into a large bowl and add food processed chocolate bars and stir until evenly combined, then spoon ice cream mixture into prepared pan evenly
4) In a second large bowl spoon 1-2L of ice cream into bowl and stir in room temperature coffee and mix until evenly combined, then spoon ice cream mixture into prepared pan on top of other ice cream mixture
5) Using the excess plastic wrap cover the top of the ice cream cake and place in the freezer overnight
6) When ready to serve, remove pan and plastic wrap from cake and cover with Chocolate Fudge sauce and slivered almonds, then cut and enjoy!
