Ingredients

• 5 eggs, separated
• 2/3 cup sugar, divided
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup cake flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 tablespoon melted butter
• powdered sugar
• 1-quart Oreo ice cream softened
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ¾ cup chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• chopped Oreos for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375. Spray a jelly roll pan with nonstick spray. Top pan with parchment paper and spray paper with nonstick spray. Set pan aside.

In a bowl, whisk egg yolks until thick and golden in color. Gradually add in 1/3 cup of sugar and vanilla extract.

In the bowl of a mixer, beat egg whites with the whisk attachment until semi-soft peaks begin to form. Gradually whisk in 1/3 cup of the remaining sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks finally form. Remove and carefully fold in yolk mixture.

Combine dry ingredients. Fold dry ingredients, followed by melted butter.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake cake for 12 minutes or until cake gently springs back when touched. After removing cake from the oven, and immediately sprinkle with powdered sugar. Carefully turn the cake out onto a clean towel that has been dusted with powdered sugar. Remove parchment paper. Roll cake with towel, starting with short end. Let cake cool completely (at least 1 hour)

When cake has cooled completely, carefully unroll cake. Spread softened ice cream over the inside of the cake and reroll. Place filled cake seam side down on a wire rack that is resting on a baking sheet and freeze until set (4 hours).

Before serving, heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. When mixture just begins to bubble around the edges, add the chocolate chips and corn syrup, whisk until chocolate has melted and the mixture is thick and shiny. Remove the ganache from heat and whisk in the vanilla. Allow chocolate to cool to room temperature.

Remove the cake from the freezer and slowly drizzle the ganache over the cake. Top the cake with reserved Oreos and freeze until ready to serve.

Place the cake on a platter or serving dish when ready to serve. To keep the cake from drying out, cover the cake as it rests in the freezer.
