Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pints Ice cream (variety of your choice, slightly softened)
- 12 pieces Cookies (chocolate chip, graham crackers, or your favorite)
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional for decoration)
- 1 cup Chocolate ganache or syrup (for drizzle)
- 1 cup Toppings (sprinkles, nuts, crushed candy, etc.)
- 1 roll Plastic wrap
Instructions
1. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang on the sides to cover the top of the log later.
2. Take your first pint of slightly softened ice cream and spread an even layer (about 1 inch thick) into the bottom of the pan using a spatula.
3. Place a layer of cookies on top of the ice cream, cutting them as needed to fit snugly.
4. Repeat the process by alternating layers of different ice cream flavors and cookies until the pan is full. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of the pan for expansion when freezing.
5. Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the top to cover the log completely.
6. Freeze the pan for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream log is firm and set.
7. When ready to serve, remove the log from the freezer and gently lift it out of the pan using the plastic wrap. Place it on a serving platter.
8. Drizzle chocolate ganache or syrup over the top of the log and decorate with whipped cream, sprinkles, nuts, or your choice of toppings.
9. Slice the log with a sharp knife and serve immediately. Enjoy!
