Easy Ice Cream Cake

Easy Ice Cream Cake layers a chocolate cookie crumb base with no-churn vanilla ice cream and a Ferrero Rocher chocolate ice cream topped with melted chocolate and whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates. It combines creamy, crunchy, and chocolatey elements in an elegant frozen dessert.

Description

This ice cream cake begins with a crust made from chocolate wafer cookie crumbs blended with melted butter and pressed into a springform pan lined with parchment paper. Two no-churn ice cream layers are prepared separately: a vanilla ice cream made by folding sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and whipped cream, and a Ferrero Rocher chocolate ice cream incorporating chopped chocolates and Nutella folded into the whipped cream mixture.

The vanilla ice cream layer is spread over the chilled cookie base and frozen before adding the second ice cream layer. The cake is topped with melted dark chocolate and whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates to decorate. The assembly requires freezing to firm up layers before serving.

Variants include substituting Ferrero Rocher chocolates with other truffles or chocolates, and swapping Nutella for alternative spreads like pistachio cream. The cake stores well for up to a week in the freezer when kept airtight, and letting it soften slightly before serving helps with slicing.

TOPPING

Instructions

  1. Line an 8 inch (20 cm)  high top cake pan with crumpled* parchment paper.  

COOKIE BASE

  1. Mix together the cookie crumbs and melted butter and press down in the prepared cake pan, cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in the freezer while you prepare the vanilla no churn ice cream.

VANILLA NO CHURN ICE CREAM

  1. In a small bowl whisk together sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, set aside.
  2. In a large bowl whip the cream until stiff peaks form, add a little whipped cream to the vanilla/sweetened condensed milk mixture, (this to make it easier to combine), then fold in the rest of the whipped cream mixture and combine gently until completely mixed.
  3. Remove the base from the freezer and spread evenly with half the vanilla ice cream . Cover  with plastic wrap and freeze.

FERRERO ROCHE NO CHURN ICE CREAM

  1. In a small bowl whisk together sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, set aside.
  2. In a large bowl whip the cream until stiff peaks form, add a little whipped cream to the vanilla/sweetened condensed milk mixture, (this to make it easier to combine), then fold in the rest of the whipped cream mixture and combine gently until completely combined. Then fold in the coarsely chopped Ferrero Roche chocolates and add the Nutella (softened) swirl 2-3 times just to add.
  3. Remove the base from the freezer and spread evenly the Ferrero Roche Ice Cream over the vanilla ice cream, then spread with the remaining vanilla ice cream. Place in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze 3-5 hours or over night.

TOPPING

  1. Remove the cake from the freezer once it is completely frozen (just before serving). Drizzle 3/4 of the melted chocolate over the ice cream cake, place the Ferrero Roche whole chocolate on top then drizzle the chocolates with the remaining melted chocolate. If cake is frozen solid then let it sit until it is easier to cut. Serve. Enjoy!

*Before lining a pan or cookie sheet be sure to crumple your parchment paper it will stay in place better.

Notes

  • Replace Ferrero Rocher chocolates with Maltesers, Baci chocolates, favorite truffles, or broken chocolate bars if preferred.
  • You can adjust ice cream flavors to pair with your chosen chocolates, such as chocolate or strawberry.
  • Substitute Nutella with other spreads like chocolate sauce or pistachio cream as desired.
  • Store the ice cream cake in an airtight container or freezer bag for 6-7 days.
  • Allow the cake to sit briefly before serving if frozen very hard for easier slicing.
