Simple Ice Cream Cake - Real Recipes from Mums

Ice Cream cakes are always a favorite for any occasion and this one is so simple!

Ingredients (makes 1 Large cake (mine served 12))

3 ltrs Different flavoured ice creams
Assorted toppings
1 bottle Hard setting chocolate topping

Method

Line a deep sided loaf tin with baking paper
Allow one of the ice cream flavours to soften, and then pour into the tin and level out. Place into the freezer
Allow 8 hours to re freze
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other 2 flavours of ice cream.
When you're about to serve, remove from the tin, and place onto a platter. Pour some of the topping around the edges so it drips down the sides
Decorate how you wish.

Notes

I used for this one Cookies and cream, Chocolate and Honeycomb flavoured ice cream and decorated it with chocolate biscuits, smashed honeycomb and flaked chocolate pieces. The possibilities of combinations for flavours are endless though! it's a simple recipe and very easy to do, but remember to make in advance so all the layers can set properly. I make a week in advance and just leave in the freezer until needed !

I have been making ice cream cakes for years. I have made my own ice cream before but for simplicity I prefer to use frozen ice cream and let it soften (not to pouring consistency ) and then I make layers of ice cream by itself, some layers with things mixed in, and also layers of just what I am using for mix ins. I use silicone moulds and let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes after taking it out of the freezer and then peel it out. Quick, easy, cheapish and delicious

Wow. This ice cream cake is so easy! Easier than mixing, baking, crying because it didn’t rise properly and didn’t come out of the tin properly, spending hours rolling and shaping fondant. I wonder if I can convince one of my kids to have an icecream cake for their birthday instead of a themed cake?
