• 1quart vanilla or coffee ice cream
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• Candy seashells, pebbles and gummy octopuses (available at most candy shops)
• A plastic sand castle mold, 5 inches tall and 5 1/4 inches wide (sold in most novelty stores), or a rectangular or cylindrical quart-size Tupperware container
• A toy flag (just cut out a small paper triangle and glue it onto a toothpick)


Step 1:
Allow the ice cream to soften for about 15 minutes at room temperature, then spoon it into your castle mold. Be sure to fully pack any crenellations on the bottom of the mold. Tightly cover the top of the mold with plastic wrap and keep it in the freezer overnight, or until solid.

Step 2:
In a mixing bowl, toss together the sugar and cinnamon to make beach sand. If the color looks too light, add a little more cinnamon or a teaspoon of instant hot chocolate mix.

Step 3:
Cover a large tray with aluminum foil. Fold the edges of the foil into a lip for catching excess cinnamon sugar.

Step 4:
At least 3 hours before serving (or up to several days ahead of time), unmold the castle. Fill a 2- to 3-quart pot with hot tap water. Then remove the mold from the freezer. Holding it open-end up, carefully and quickly (for no more than 2 seconds) dip it into the hot water. The object is to warm the mold without melting more than the surface of the ice cream. Immediately top the mold with the foil-covered serving platter, invert onto a flat working surface and lift off the mold.

Step 5:
Working quickly, sprinkle a generous base coating of cinnamon sugar on the sides and top of the castle. Gather and reserve any spilled cinnamon sugar to use later. Immediately return the castle, uncovered, to the freezer until it is frozen solid (at least 3 hours). Then wrap the castle with aluminum foil until serving time.

Step 6:
Shortly before serving, spread the remaining cinnamon sugar on a flat, foil-covered surface. Remove the ice-cream castle from the freezer, unwrap and roll the sides in the cinnamon sugar. Set the castle on a serving plate and sprinkle the top with more cinnamon sugar. Spread the rest of the cinnamon sugar on the plate to resemble a beach. Add the candy shells and pebbles and the gummy octopuses. Finally, top the castle with the toy flag. Makes 8 1/2-cup servings.



PARTY IDEA!

Create a personal fairy tale with a Princess Birthday Party!




Variations:
If you don't have time to custom build an ice cream sand castle like the one shown above, here's an easy shortcut: Uncover and invert a pint of ice cream on a foil-covered tray. Peel away the cardboard container and sprinkle on plenty of cinnamon sugar. Decorate with a graham cracker drawbridge. Serves 4.

What kind of info are you looking for?
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

I have a boot with a track called "White Girls", on it you can hear the music for I.C.C coming together, but there are no lyrics just Prince screaming "White Girls" on the breaks.

The White Girls jam is a funky concoction of Don't Call Me Nigger Whitey, Erotic City, and it does indeed include sung bits from Ice Cream Castles, particularly the "we are young and we are funky" chant.

well there's the obvious stuff...

Ice Cream Castle - The Time's 3rd album.
Released July 9th 1984.

tracklist:

Ice Cream Castles
My Drawers
Chili Sauce
Jungle Love
If The Kid Can't Make You Come
The Bird

Pretty much recorded by Prince, Morris Day and Jesse Johnson
on their own without much input from the other members of
the band (apart from 'The Bird' which of course is a live recording
featuring the full band). Despite what the credits say on the
album, all the songs were written by Prince, with the exception
of 'Ice Cream Castles' (written by Prince & Morris) and 'Jungle
Love' & 'The Bird' (written by Prince, Morris & Jesse). All the
tracks were recorded between 1983-84. 'Jungle Love' was the
first track, recorded in March '83. 'Chili Sauce' and 'If The Kid
Can't Make You Come' (originally titled 'Proposition #17') were
recorded the following month. 'The Bird' was recorded live on
10/4/83 at First Avenue, and 'Ice Cream Castles' & 'My Drawers'
were recorded in January '84.
