I'm able to state that this frozen treats cake recipe is really a classic example for "serendipity". I believe you are able to guess where I am going if you have read my choconut muffins story. To chop the lengthy story short, my first batch of muffins didn't emerge well. The bottoms were moist however the tops were dry. I needed to bake another batch of individuals scrumptious chocolate muffins, but did not get sound advice using the first batch, then a concept exhibited within my mind. Why don't you transform it into an frozen treats layered cake. See, watching Food TV helps, especially Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade Cooking. I am a large fan of her innovative ideas.
Now to the frozen treats cake recipe. I will not say this recipe is my discovery, but seriously guys, I want some credit for thinking rapidly and never wasting food. Right? I have seen Oreos Cookie Cake crust in shops, to ensure that seemed to be a motivation. I have always aspired to purchase it making something. My idea looked like that. I needed to crush the muffins, both tops and bottoms inside a mixer, place it inside a cake tin and layer with frozen treats and freeze it. I'd vanilla frozen treats in your own home. I needed a Neapolitan Frozen Treats look so considered choosing strawberry and chocolate flavors. Then recognized that my mother in law isn't a fan of strawberry and she or he likes pistachios. Unlike India we do not get pistachio flavored frozen treats here. I figured why don't you opt for instant pudding mix. I have seen it getting used by Food TV chefs constantly. So considered trying it out.
The good thing about this cake is there's no group of baking procedure or should have ingredients. You are able to have fun with your imagination. Anyway I'll list things i used and just what other variations can be created.
I made use of:
1. Muffin crumbs.
2. 1 packet JELLO Instant Pudding Mix, pistachio flavor.
3. Poultry Hill Vanilla Bean Frozen Treats.
4. Walnuts and Pistachios, unsalted and chopped.
Other Variations:
1. Crush Oreos cookies or brownies, or line the pan with frozen pound cake, or use ready to use cake crust.
2. You may either opt for all pudding mixes with various flavors or awesome whip or all frozen treats layers or combine.
3. Toppings will also be unlimited, from fudge sundae, caramel topping etc.
Crush the muffins inside a mixer.
I made use of a 9 inch round cake pan. First I figured of utilizing a cake tin, i then altered my thoughts. I lined the pan with plastic wrap since i vaguely appreciated something such as this in a single episode of Food TV. I wrapped it entirely since the entire pan as well as left additional outdoors so will be able to lift the wedding cake using the wrap once it freezes.
I pressed half the amount of muffin crumbs at the base from the pan, nice firm. Really I'd stored the muffins within the refrigerator to dry them up therefore it will powder easily inside a mixer. Basically had left the moist bottoms out,it might have grown to be one big lump I suppose. Reserved another half for an additional layer.
Prepared the pudding as reported by the directions from the package. It had been super easy. Just pour this mixture in milk and stir. Initially it's inside a liquid form and within a few minutes it firms up. I additionally mixed some chopped pistachios towards the pudding.
Now top the crumbs using the pudding and form a pleasant thick layer and top it with pistachios again.
Top the pudding layer using the remaining muffin crumbs.
Now a layer of vanilla frozen treats within the muffin crumbs. I microwaved the frozen treats using the paper container for 15-25 seconds, and so i could spread it. Provide the crowning glory of adding more walnuts and pistachios.
Freezing for 4 hrs ought to be fine. Carefully take away the cake with the aid of the plastic wrap. After I required it after 4 hrs it had been good, but another one or two hrs ought to be perfect. Slice and serve it!
1. You may also do this having a loaf pan.
2. I observed that whenever pudding freezes it is extremely hard compared to frozen treats. If you do not like this to occur you may make all frozen treats layers or dig in after thawing it for a few minutes.
3. The flavour was from the world. I miss Indian Cassata frozen treats greatly. The flavour of the frozen treats cake was greatly much like that, It was due to the pistachios and walnuts.
Hi,
Wonderful recipe!1Can’t wait to give it a try!!I've any doubt regarding using oreo cookies..i i personally use them how about the cream inside it?Is the fact that okay?
Please tell me.
Anshita, readymade oreo cookie crust can be obtained. You could utilize that itself. Or try crumbling one or two cookies using the cream and find out the way it arrives. I believe the cream will help to create a nice shape and the crumbs together around the cake plate.
I've chose to make this cake two times. Once with butterscotch pudding and frozen treats and also the second time with awesome whip and frozen treats for that layers. While you pointed out, within the pudding version. the pudding hardens greater than the frozen treats so when you thaw it. the very best layer frozen treats starts melting fast however the pudding still remains hard. So next time i attempted awesome whip for that inner layer after which frozen treats on top, it had been great. We such as this one better. Thanks for your wonderful recipes. They all are from the world.
Yojana, that’s an excellent concept of using Awesome Whip. I too will check it out next time.
Madhuram,
You've got a nice assortment of eggless recipes. I'm a vegetarian too and that i love your site. I'm greatly surprised to determine a recipe with Jello in your blog. I think you'll realize that Jell-O consists of gelatin and isn't vegetarian. You'll find much more about gelatin here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin
Case an amiable note from the fan of the blog. Appreciate the great recipes.
Thanks to you for the concern Priya. So far as I understand the Jell-O jelly crystals alone have gelatin and never the pudding mix. For that frozen treats cake I have tried personally the pudding mix only. Don't hesitate to tell me if my understanding is wrong.
Hi Madhu
I saw this recipe lengthy back and desired to check it out since that time. Last friday i baked some dates and walnut cake in your own home. The wedding cake arrived on the scene good in taste and texture but sank within the center. I would now like to do this recipe of the that has been enticing me for any lengthy time now. I'd a couple of questions
1. Can One use my date and walnut cake rather of muffin crumbs. If so, should i freeze the wedding cake first consider getting the crumbs (dry/powdery) consistency? I've stored my cake within the refrigerator in plastic container at this time.
2. Do you consider i'm able to use chocolate nick frozen treats rather of vanilla as I've got a big bucket of chocolate nick frozen treats laying within my freezer for any lengthy time now?
Hi Yojana, you should use any cake/frozen treats combination. For those who have cut the wedding cake into pieces and it is moist you can just line the pan using the pieces with no gaps and begin layering the frozen treats. If you haven't work and also the cake is extremely moist I recommend freezing it to have an hour approximately after which make use of a processor to obtain crumbs.
I acquired Readymade Graham Cracke crumbs. can one use individuals to create the underside lining rather of muffin or oreo crumbs ?
Must i follow any special directions if rely on them like bake or freeze them individually ?
Deepa, if you're talking about just the crumbs then I recommend you to definitely then add melted butter towards the crumbs, so they hold together. Or make use of the ready to use graham crackers or oreos cake crust also is obtainable in the baking aisle. If you work with the cake crust, you needn't to complete every other prep, simply start assembling the pudding and ice creams
With this cake are we able to try having a ceramic ware rather from the metal bake ware ?
Deepa, see if the ceramic is freezer safe.
