Giant S'mores Cake topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 500 g sweet cookie mix (and other necessary ingredients)
- 3/4 cup crushed whole wheat graham crackers (about 175 g)
- 300 g chocolate sauce or boiled condensed milk
- 1500 ml vanilla ice cream, one rectangular block
- 6 egg whites
- A pinch of cream of tartar
- 1 cup of sugar
Preparation:
- Make a giant one graham cracker: Substitute crushed graham crackers for 3/4 cup of the cookie mix and prepare the dough as directed on the package.
- Divide the dough in half. Roll each piece into a 24 cm square, placing each piece on a separate sheet of parchment paper. Place the dough and parchment paper on 2 baking sheets.
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. While they're still hot, trim the edges with a knife to create perfect squares measuring 22 cm (9.5 in) on each side.
- Using a butter knife, make a groove in the center of each cookie, then use a skewer or chopstick to make holes as shown in the photo. Cool completely.
- Using a spatula, spread chocolate sauce in wavy lines on 1 cookie. Refrigerate.
- Soften the ice cream slightly, then remove the packaging and place it on a piece of plastic wrap. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap and flatten it slightly. Freeze for 1 hour until firm.
- Meanwhile, prepare the meringue: Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar in a mixer at medium-high speed until foamy, then gradually add sugar, continuing to beat the mixture at high speed until thick foam forms.
- Remove the film from the ice cream and spoon it onto the sauce-covered cookies. Using a spatula, spread the resulting meringue over the ice cream, slightly extending over the edges.
- Use a blowtorch to brown the meringue, then carefully place the second cookie on top. Freeze the cake.
- Before serving, soften slightly and cut into portions.
