Ice Cream Loaf

Just like ice cream pie or more like a semifreddo?

My husband loves ice cream pie. I love to make ice cream pie.

what to do though when you don't have a crowd of people 

to eat a huge pie...... make a smaller one. 

Traditional semifreddos are made in loaf pans, so why not do

one of ice cream as well!  It makes a smaller quantity, 

it is really easy to cut, and so pretty with different

flavors of ice cream.

Lining the loaf pan with parchment, means you can lift the 

whole frozen loaf right out, and cut pretty slices for serving.

As Always,

ENJOY!

INGREDIENTS

9 Oreo cookies

3 Tbsp. butter melted

2-3 types of ice cream (14-16 oz.)

loaf pan 9x5

parchment paper

   Line loaf pan with parchment paper.  Grind Oreo cookies in small food processor.  Melt the butter.

Mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter and layer bottom of loaf pan with crumb mixture. Gently press mixture in pan and to the corners.

    Scoop first softened ice cream into pan, then with an offset spatula, spread to corners and evenly over bottom.  Scoop second flavor of softened ice cream, and gently spread evenly over first layer. 

Scoop third flavor of ice cream or repeat first flavor, over second layer, and spread evenly.  Cover with plastic wrap and put in freezer.  Freeze for at least 3-4 hours before serving.

   When ready to serve, lift parchment out of pan. Gently pull back the parchment, and then cut slices of ice cream loaf, approx. 1" wide.  Serve.  Freeze remaining loaf for another day!!!!
