It is important to use high-quality ingredients, especially in the base cake, to ensure the best flavor and texture. Use fresh eggs, real vanilla extract, and high-fat content heavy cream (whipping cream) for the best results.

Steps to Make Chocolate Eclair Ice Cream Bar Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and 1/2 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
3. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Gradually add the sugar, flour, and salt, and beat until smooth.
4. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.
5. Pour the mixture back into the same saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cubed butter and vanilla extract, until they are fully incorporated.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
9. While the cake is baking, make the chocolate sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add the corn syrup and mix well.
10. When the cake is done, take it out of the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
11. Cut the cake in half lengthwise and place six Blue Bunny Chocolate Eclair Ice Cream Bars side by side on the bottom layer.
12. Cover the ice cream bars with the top layer of the cake.
13. Pour the chocolate sauce over the cake, and let it set for about 15 minutes.
14. Whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
15. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake and serve.

Tips and tricks: For easier serving, freeze the cake for an hour or two before pouring the chocolate sauce over it. You can also add sliced strawberries or other fruits between the ice cream bars and the cake layers for a touch of freshness.
