Ingredients

  

• Your favourite cake layer (sponge or cookie crust)
• Ice cream flavour of choice
• Whipped cream or frosting
• Chocolate syrup or caramel drizzle
• Fresh fruits, sprinkles, or nuts for decoration

Instructions

 

• Prepare the Cake Base

  Bake or prepare your chosen cake layer and let it cool completely. You can also use crushed cookies mixed with melted butter for a no-bake base.
• Soften the Ice Cream

  Leave the ice cream at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. This makes it easier to spread evenly over the cake layer.
• Layer the Dessert

  Spread a thick layer of softened ice cream over the base. Smooth the surface using a spatula for a clean finish.
• Freeze for Stability

  Place the cake in the freezer for at least two hours. This step ensures the ice cream layer sets properly.
• Add Toppings

  Decorate with whipped cream, syrup, fruits, or chocolate shavings. Keep it in the freezer until serving time.

Notes

• Serve ice cream cake immediately after removing from the freezer.
• Leftovers should be wrapped tightly and stored in the freezer to maintain freshness.
