I also used a little to much Fudge sauce so we really had a lot of chocloate. This dessert is also not for a quick, I need it now, kind of dessert. I was definitally was glad we made our's at night and ate it the next day. It turned out wonderfully, if you have the time to wait all day!!!<br /><br />So, all in all, this dessert get a <span style="color:#33ccff;">8 out of 10</span>, we aren't very much of a "<span style="color:#663300;">chocolate lover</span>" kind of family.</div>365daysofdessertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18161077318871000091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340532950322353501.post-3327938211674299522010-06-16T22:38:00.000-07:002010-06-17T22:17:44.033-07:00Our FIRST Dessert.<div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">It started today!!

Currently we are awaiting the 6 hour standing period waiting for the final product. When that happens, we will then update with a sample 'taste'ament. Now, how to make it:<br /><br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483625723837467202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 292px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 210px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4K7Bl_XvhpgTISrC3A92JUyM5eYac-uaW6HLeSUEIq7S5gRfSWotNlMdmL_lrK_dSyasM_upjpUMqZ_KbsiisYU1_wtfunbr1jZns86PMMP8HfOqThdF277uNX7zejGA3NnxAttkARQg7/s320/Brian's+phone+412.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#000000;">First</span></strong> you need to start the fudge sauce that covers the cake.<br /><strong><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">This is made with the following <span style="color:#663300;">ingredients:</span></span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">1 cup of heavy or whipped cream</span> <span style="color:#ff99ff;">(we used heavy whipping cream)</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">3/4 cup sugar</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">4 squares (4 ounces) unsweetened chocolate</span> <span style="color:#ff99ff;">(we used 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips ... we're not sweet toothed :)</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">2 tbls light corn syrup</span><br /><span style="color:#66ffff;"><span style="color:#33ccff;">2 tbls butter or margarine</span> </span><span style="color:#ff99ff;">(we used butter)</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">2 tsp vanilla extract</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYHYRwNT4stqwcdOetrIrnYDMOQ8wXSQeqfCqw6kU7TxY26z1wlOqeFhv6ZXfDR-CoYfErilubMwu-ZWIAzLPlMSkjZ_Gkh92UHcLbEGYdFV2qw4ISUqK3PbTdHg6KvGCn13m_ck5r_BIa/s1600/Brian's+phone+403.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483622822985959714" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 182px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 140px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYHYRwNT4stqwcdOetrIrnYDMOQ8wXSQeqfCqw6kU7TxY26z1wlOqeFhv6ZXfDR-CoYfErilubMwu-ZWIAzLPlMSkjZ_Gkh92UHcLbEGYdFV2qw4ISUqK3PbTdHg6KvGCn13m_ck5r_BIa/s320/Brian's+phone+403.JPG" border="0" /></a>In a 2 quart sauce pan, heat the chocolate, whipping cream, sugar, corn syrup over medium heat. Stir occasionally until mixture boils. Once sauce thickens, (should take about 4 minutes) remove from heat and add butter and vanilla and stir until sauce is smooth and glossy. Cover sauce and refrigerate until cool, takes about 2 hours. Makes about 1 2/3 cup of sauce. (The extra can be used at a great ice cream topper.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#000066;">(If sauce is ever too firm, you can microwave briefly to soften, but DO NOT HEAT)</span></div><br /><br /><br /><br />While that's cooling down, move on to the cake it's self.<br />It's <strong><span style="color:#663300;">ingredients</span></strong> are as listed:<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">2 pints Chocolate ice cream; softened</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">14 chocolate sandwich cookies </span><span style="color:#ff99ff;">(We used Oreos)</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">2 cups miniature marshmallows</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">1 cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped</span><br /><br /><br /><br />Using a 9x3 spring form pan with heavy duty foil lining it (we used a 9 inch round cake pan) spoon one pint chocolate ice cream into pan. Then insert cookies upright along edges of pan pressing cookies to the bottom of the pan through the ice cream. Sprinkle 1 cup marshmallows and 1/2 cup peanuts evenly over ice cream. Press in gently. Spoon the remaining ice cream over top of the marshmallows and nuts.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1RWoYK4rDj0thXu4aBs_HIv8XbQoRsbK-pUxGiPPrZjHGIBTdA7iBRx4NjqThfNHG3ZU1DrcaVxu1iwCE-fHbXECMqJ26NmCx7DrCxUhZssxpyyvw67XR-gdO0op_BfTlU0USEjYhYTTg/s1600/Brian's+phone+405.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483629329788315074" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1RWoYK4rDj0thXu4aBs_HIv8XbQoRsbK-pUxGiPPrZjHGIBTdA7iBRx4NjqThfNHG3ZU1DrcaVxu1iwCE-fHbXECMqJ26NmCx7DrCxUhZssxpyyvw67XR-gdO0op_BfTlU0USEjYhYTTg/s200/Brian's+phone+405.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyfzoHWFjiUw8rel81OqvQUJwpOrxSARsl7CtGAYlVTyEM7_S5DHPmfzmZfoq8Gu5gYbVIESGN_rih3rnlqhCQeLPqJV0ucyuVJ7cgI7dhVOQ7J6IMDAMDFWy_2ZHX-xsPC5AUvi9qYL4x/s1600/Brian's+phone+399.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483628270850547730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyfzoHWFjiUw8rel81OqvQUJwpOrxSARsl7CtGAYlVTyEM7_S5DHPmfzmZfoq8Gu5gYbVIESGN_rih3rnlqhCQeLPqJV0ucyuVJ7cgI7dhVOQ7J6IMDAMDFWy_2ZHX-xsPC5AUvi9qYL4x/s200/Brian's+phone+399.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><strong>Right</strong>: The first Layer of Ice Cream</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /><strong>Left</strong>: The Cookies, Marshmallow and Nuts<br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />At this point, take the previously made fudge sauce and pour 2/3 cup over the top layer of ice cream evenly (reserve remaining sauce to serve later if desired).
