Ingredients
- Chocolate Ice Cream, softened
- Vanilla Ice Cream, softened
- Strawberry Ice Cream, softened
- Chocolate Cookies, crushed
- Butter, melted
- Whipped Cream
- Sprinkles or Fresh Fruit (optional)
Instructions
- Crush the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined, then press into the bottom of a springform pan. Freeze for 15 minutes to set.
- Soften the chocolate ice cream until spreadable, then spoon it over the crust. Smooth it out with a spatula and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Repeat the process with the vanilla ice cream, spreading evenly over the chocolate layer. Freeze for another 30 minutes.
- Finish with the softened strawberry ice cream as the top layer. Smooth it out and freeze the entire cake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove the cake from the pan and spread whipped cream over the top. You can pipe it for a decorative look or simply spread it evenly.
- Add sprinkles, fresh fruit, or any toppings you like. Slice and serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
Let each ice cream flavor soften at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before spreading. Work quickly to prevent melting, and freeze between layers for clean, distinct layers.
