I made this 2 weeks ago and it was a huge hit with all of the family. Where it states gluten free items, regular product may be used.
Drumstick Cake
Base: 1 2/3 cups GF sweet crumbs 2/3 cup unsalted chopped peanuts (can be replaced with any type of nuts) I used mixed nuts and loved it. 1/3 cup butter melted with 3 Tbsp peanut butter
Reserve one cup of base for topping press the rest into a 9x12 pan
Filling: 8 oz cream cheese 4 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1 carton cool whip (large) 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup hot fudge sundae sauce 2 tsp vanilla
Mix the cream cheese, sugar, peanut butter and vanilla in a bowl at high speed. Add eggs one at a time beating continuously. Fold in cool whip. Pour this over base. Drizzle hot fudge or chocolate sauce on top and swirl with a knife for a marble effect.
Sprinkle remaining crumbs on top then freeze over night. This is an ice cream cake to be eaten frozen.
Tips: The next day unthaw slightly and cut into squares. I remove them from the pan and place in a air tight container. Return to freezer and enjoy one piece at a time.
Chocolate frozen cake/pie Make the crust like above. For the filling, do not put the peanut butter inside, but pour in a 3 ounce package of dry chocolate pudding mix. FOllow the instructions above. We prefer to eat these cakes frozen instead of thawed.
Crust: 1 1/2 cups chocolate crumbs 2 T sugar 1/3 cup melted butter
Filling: 2 pkgs (8 ounces) cream cheese 1 can sweetened condensed milk 2/3 cup chocolate syrup 1 T instant coffee 1 t hot water 1 cup whipping cream (whipped)(small container)
Combine crumbs, sugar and butter well. Press into and up sides (just a little)of a 9" spring form pan. Chill.
Beat cream cheese till smooth. Gradually beat in condensed milk and chocolate syrup. Dissolve coffee in water and add to cheese mixture. Mix well. Fold in whip cream. Pour over crust.
Freeze over night. You may garnish by laying a doily over and sprinkle with cocoa or shaved chocolate. Serve frozen.
Tip: This is a chocolate lovers delight, very rich. Cut your pieces small. I garnish with sliced strawberries.
