Chili Dog Cake
- 1 pint chocolate ice cream, softened
- Red and yellow gel food coloring
- 1 16 -ounce frozen pound cake
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 1/4 cup chocolate fudge sauce
- 3/4 cup vanilla frosting
- 1 ounce white chocolate, chopped
- You may not want to eat this hot dog with your hands - it's an ice cream cake!
- To make the jumbo frank, we formed chocolate ice cream into a log and tucked it into a pound-cake bun.
- For toppings, we used strawberries and fudge sauce for chili, orange frosting for cheese and white chocolate for chopped onions.
- It's messy and delicious, just like the real thing.
- Mix the chocolate ice cream in a bowl with enough red gel food coloring to make a hot dog color.
- Scoop the ice cream onto a piece of parchment paper; fold the parchment over the ice cream, then use a ruler to push the ice cream into a 12-inch-long log.
- Roll up the log and twist the ends of the parchment.
- Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Trim a thin slice from all 4 sides of the pound cake.
- Make 2 long cuts down the top of the cake, about 1 inch in from each side and 1 inch deep; dig out the center of the cake to make a cavity for the hot dog.
- Make the "chili": Mix the strawberries with the fudge sauce in a bowl; set aside.
- Make the "cheese": Tint the vanilla frosting orange with red and yellow gel food coloring; transfer to a resealable plastic bag and snip a small corner.
- Unwrap the frozen hot dog and position it in the center of the pound cake.
- Spoon the strawberry mixture on top of the ice cream.
- Pipe the orange frosting on top.
- Sprinkle with the white chocolate.
- Freeze until serving.
