This ice-cream cake recipe was given to me by my hairdresser; women love to chat and what better place than sitting in the chair at a hairdresser getting your hair done! As the saying goes ~ “YOU DO learn something new every day”. I told my hairdresser “I have been coming to you for so many years; you know how many kids I have and you have NEVER told me about this easy peasy to make cake before“? she just laughed.
I seriously wish I had known about this VERY simple cake MANY YEARS AGO as it’s the EASIEST ICE CREAM CAKE IN THE WORLD, hence it was a must to share with the world!
Firstly prepare your dish/tin/cake mould that you wish to freeze your ice-cream cake into. This recipe works and fits into the Tupperware Jel Ring perfectly. Otherwise, I suggest you line the container you are using with cling wrap as once the cake is frozen, it will slide out easily.
- 600ml thickened cream
- 1 tin condensed milk
- Whip the cream till thick consistency.
- Pour in, fold or stir the condensed milk into whipped cream gently and mix thoroughly.
- Baileys, Sherry, Tia Maria etc
- Grated chocolate, hazel nuts/almonds etc
- Fresh fruit ~ strawberries, blue berries, wild berries, mango
- Tinned peaches, pineapple, pears, apricots.
- Mars Bars, marshmallows, honey comb, flake, etc
- Ice-cream flavouring ~ chocolate, caramel, strawberry etc
- Smarties, M&MβS, Maltesers etc
- The choices are endless; once the mould is turned out, you can even use the Magic hard Tops ice-cream topping after turning out onto a plate.
- Once you try this recipe, you will NEVER buy an supermarket ice-cream cake again.
- Please follow the simple image steps below. I made a caramel, choc chip cake.
This recipe is also great as a slice; line a slice tray with malt biscuits. Make up ‘ice cream’ and add chopped up cherry ripes ( or maltesers or M & M’s or whatever takes your fancy) top with another layer of malt biscuits and freeze. Very yummy!!!!!
Forgot to mention……cover with foil before freezing.
Sounds great Karen ~ yummo~
Yum yes make this with smashed up Crunchie bars, o m g
I tried this tonight and OH so so good! (no cake left afterwards either).
i like the idea of an eastern icecream cake based on your recipe with turkish delight, pistachios and rose water .. yummy
ooh and you could do christmas pu one.. soaked fruits in Marsala and orange zest. Then you could light brandy on the top.. ( not sure how long would last before it melted though), might have to try!
Rebecca both of those are good ideas π
I just made one with Nutella and choc chips, I can’t wait to taste it and neither can the kids!
