Cappuccino, cheesecake, and caramel ice cream sandwiches? Yes, please! This eye-catching ice cream cake is a burst of your favorite flavors in every bite.
When making this cake, keep in mind that ice cream sandwiches melt quickly. We recommend assembling this cake with a kitchen buddy so that one person can unwrap and slice the ice cream sandwiches while the other person lines the pan.
2. Remove the sauce pan from the heat and add 1 cup flour all at once, stirring with a large wooden spoon. Once it’s fully mixed, put it back on the heat and stir constantly for another 2 minutes. The dough should come together in a smooth ball.
3. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat on medium speed 2 minutes to cool the mixture slightly. Add 4 eggs, adding 1 at a time and allowing each egg to fully incorporate between additions. Beat until dough is smooth and forms a thick ribbon when pulled up.
4. Heat 2” deep vegetable oil to 370˚F. Keep the oil between 350-370˚F while frying.
5. Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large open star tip. Pipe 6” lengths into hot oil and cut with scissors. Fry 1 1/2 minutes per side or until golden brown then flip with tongs and fry another 1 1/2 minutes.
Fry in batches, about 5-6 churros at a time. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate then roll in cinnamon sugar.
2. Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan. (Do not let it boil.) Pour the heavy cream over the chopped chocolate.
Let it sit for 1 minute then stir to combine.
