Ingredients:
- 250g (9 oz) chocolate wafer cookies
- 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 litres (6.3 cups) vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
- 1.5 litres (6.3 cups) chocolate ice cream, slightly softened
- 1.5 litres (6.3 cups) strawberry ice cream, slightly softened
- 200ml (approx. 1 cup) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Sprinkles, chocolate shavings, fresh berries
Instructions:
- Combine crushed cookies and melted butter in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan. Chill in the freezer while preparing the ice cream layers.
- Remove ice cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly (but not melt!) for about 30 minutes.
- Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the chilled cookie base. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Repeat with the chocolate ice cream, spreading it evenly over the vanilla layer. Freeze for another hour.
- Finally, spread the softened strawberry ice cream over the chocolate layer. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely solid.
- While the cake is freezing, make the whipped cream by beating heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Remove the cake from the freezer. Run a warm knife around the edge of the pan, then release the springform. Top with whipped cream (if using) and your favourite decorations.
- Slice and serve immediately. Return any leftover cake to the freezer.
