This no bake ice cream cake will be your favorite summer treat for any kind of celebration.
The Easiest Ice Cream Cake
Both the ice cream and fruit cake were store bought. The best part about putting it together at home is, you can customize with the flavors you like.
I used fruit cake from my favorite Indian bakery Hot Breads. The cake is slightly dense and has candied papaya (called tutti frutti) and slivered almonds.
The combination of fruit cake layered with ice cream and topped with crunchy almonds is to die for. Make a big batch, divide it and place it in the freezer to enjoy it whole summer.
Ingredients:
- Fruit cake or any cake which is slightly dense
- Vanilla ice cream
- Chocolate ice cream
- Strawberry ice cream
- Slivered almonds and grated chocolate for garnish
Procedure:
Leave the ice cream on the counter top for 10 minute. This will help us to scoop out easily.
Slice the fruit cake about ¼th inch thick.
Layer a aluminum pan or (any pan of your choice) with the cake pieces as shown in the picture.
Scoop the strawberry ice cream onto the fruit cake and smooth it out with a spatula to get an even layer. ( I used half strawberry and half chocolate Ice cream ).
Top the Ice cream layer with another layer of fruit cake.
Now top it with vanilla ice cream and smooth it out using a spatula so that ice cream is all even around the pan.
Finally add some slivered almonds all over the vanilla ice cream. Cover the Ice cream cake with a plastic warp and put it back in the freezer for at least six hours or till you are ready to serve.
Remove it from the freezer at least 10 minutes before you serve it!.
