So a couple days ago, I was on the elliptical in the back of the gym (you know, where you go when you don't want people to look and judge you for just how low you've set the resistance). About 20 pages into Martha's Living magazine's Fourth of July spectacular issue that I had uh unknowingly and totally accidentally grabbed from the magazine corner, I found this recipe for ice cream cake that I immediately knew I could recreate using DDS food. Now, know that what I'm about to tell you I would not have done if there had actually been people around, but it was during 2As, so I figured I was safe. I pulled out my phone and called my roommate Thea out of a sheer desire just to tell someone what I had just discovered.
Unfortunately, I chose to call right as 2As were getting out, so of course, in my excitement, I did not realize the flood of people who had just entered the gym and were now staring at me as I frantically yelled the words "Froyo," "jam" and "cake" into the phone. So there you have it. That's how the magic happens. It doesn't. I'm usually just the crazy person yelling about food in inappropriate places to yell about food. Just ask my friends. They'll tell you. As for the recipe, here it is Ice Cream Cake courtesy of my favorite jailbird Marty Stewart herself:
- Get a piece of angel food cake from the desserts fridge in FoCo any cake or dessert bar also works for this recipe, but angel food cake is ideal.
- Get a small cup of Froyo (French vanilla works best I think, but again, it depends on what is available most flavors will work).
- After paying, get three packets of strawberry jam.
- Cut the piece of angel food cake in half and spread the jam on one half.
- Spread the Froyo on the other half.
- Bring the halves together.
You can also change it up a little by using chocolate sauce instead of jam or trying it with a brownie instead of angel aafood cake for example; you essentially can't go wrong combining any kind of cake and ice cream. So next time you fart in the middle of an exam, knock over several cups of beer while attempting your first throw save or trip on the FoCo runway, just remember the crazy girl on the elliptical word vomiting the best of Martha's Fourth of July desserts into the phone and maybe know that you haven't gone off the deep end just quite yet. Maybe.
