Frozen Mango and Passionfruit Ice Cream Cake
Description
The Frozen Mango and Passionfruit Ice Cream Cake begins with a base made by processing amaretti biscuits, almond meal, melted butter, and roasted hazelnuts, pressed into a cake tin and chilled. The filling is a puree of chopped mango, banana (which can be frozen), thickened cream, Greek yoghurt, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar, blended until smooth then poured over the base and frozen for at least five hours or overnight. When ready to serve, diced fresh mango is combined with passionfruit pulp and a little icing sugar, and spread on top for a bright and tangy contrast to the creamy frozen cake. The combination of crunchy almond and biscuit base with the smooth, fruity filling creates a pleasing texture and tropical flavor profile.
