Notes

  • You should be able to fit all of the ice cream into the pan by pressing down very firmly and making sure there are no air bubbles or gaps.
  • Remove the cake from the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to soften prior to serving.
  • When ready to serve, release the hinge on the side of the pan, and remove the sides. Keep in the pan or move to a serving platter. 
  • Dip a sharp knife in HOT water for a few seconds and then slice into the cake. Repeat dipping the knife in hot water prior to cutting each slice of cake.
