Double Chocolate-Vanilla Ice Cream Cake
Ice cream cake is my family’s all time favorite. We generally order it from outside for any special occasion. ”Cold Stone Creamery” is almost everyone’s favorite ice cream shop here. I always love to create my own ice cream with a variety of combinations available over there.
I have been planning to try ice cream cake at home and finally I made it for my 3rd Wedding Anniversary last week. It just came out as I expected and we both loved it. It just tasted like the Cassata Ice cream from “Arun Ice creams” in India. It is so simple to make if you use the ready made ice creams. Here you go…
This is to make a 9″ round cake.
Ingredients:
- Semisweet chocolate – 1 cup
- Heavy cream – 3/4 cup
- Vanilla ice cream – 3 cups (1 1/2 pint)
- Chocolate ice cream – 2 cups (a pint)
- French Vanilla cake mix – 1 pack
- 9″ round baking pan
Method of Preparation:
- For home made sponge cake recipe, please check here.
- Make the base cake using half the pack of French Vanilla mix following the instructions given at the back of the package.
- In between, boil heavy cream and add it to the semisweet chocolate chips in a bowl.
- When chocolate starts melting mix them evenly to a smooth paste.
- Once the sponge cake is ready, transfer it to a sheet. You can slice the top portion if it is too high to be a layer of the cake.
- Line a nonstick 9″ round pan with plastic wrap allowing a few inch overhang on all sides. This is to easily transfer the cake to a serving plate.
- Pour the melted chocolate in the pan and that serves as the bottom layer.
- Cover the chocolate layer with the round sponge cake and refrigerate it for an hour till the chocolate is firm.
- Spread the vanilla ice cream on top of the cake evenly and freeze it till it is firm which takes a minimum of 5 hours.
- Melt the chocolate ice cream a bit and finally spread the chocolate ice cream on top and freeze it overnight.
- If you don’t want to wait for the vanilla ice cream to set, you can cover the vanilla ice cream with some cookies or wafers and place it in the freezer for half an hour and then spread the chocolate ice cream and freeze it overnight.
- To remove the cake from the pan, just lift the plastic wrap and carefully remove it from the cake.
- Your ice cream cake is ready.
