Chocolate-Strawberry Ice Cream Cake by Christine Powell
THIS LOOKED SO GOOD I HAD TO SHARE.....
Chocolate-Strawberry Ice Cream Cake
Serves 16
This festive cake is easy to make and excellent for celebrations like birthdays or Father's Day. We suggest chocolate and strawberry ice creams, but any number of combinations would be wonderfully decadent as well, perhaps cherry and pistachio or coffee and dulce de leche.
Ingredients
14 chocolate sandwich creme cookies
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 quart (2 pints) chocolate ice cream or frozen yogurt, softened
1 1/4 cups chocolate fudge sauce, divided
1 quart (2 pints) strawberry ice cream or frozen yogurt, softened
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Method
Place cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until ground (you should have about 1 1/2 cups crumbs). Pour in butter and pulse just until mixed. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze until chilled, about 30 minutes.
Using a rubber spatula, spread chocolate ice cream over cookie crust and smooth the top. Place in the freezer until firm, at least 1 hour. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the fudge sauce for decorating the top of the cake and spread the remainder evenly over the top of the chocolate ice cream. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Spread strawberry ice cream over the fudge, level the top of the cake, and freeze until the whole cake is very firm, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
Remove cake from the freezer. Run a large knife under hot water, wipe dry, and run the knife around the rim of the pan to loosen ice cream from the sides; repeat as necessary. Release and remove the sides of the springform pan. Lightly spread the reserved fudge sauce over the top of the cake using the back of a spoon, and arrange strawberries however you like. To serve, cut the cake into wedges with a knife warmed in hot water and wiped dry.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
