Ice-Cream cake


I watch Nigella Lawson's show regularly. The other day she made quick ice-cream cake on her show. Very simple and easy to make and your kids will love it. Here is my own version of the ice-cream cake. The basic concept is to mix vanilla ice-cream with biscuits and chocolates. In the original recipe, the cake is served with chocolate and butterscotch sauce but I did not opt for the sauces as I felt the cake was already too rich and sweet.

Ice-cream cake
(Select some chocolates with nuts in them for that extra crunchiness)

400 gms vanilla ice-cream
6 bourbon biscuits
Assorted cadbury chocolates (or any chocolates of your choice)

Keep the ice-cream in the fridge or outside so it softens. Keep ready a springform pan with the bottom and sides lined with clingwrap. Next, crush the biscuits and the chocolates coarsely in a zip lock bag. Keep 2-3 tbsps aside and put the rest in a bowl. Add ice-cream to this and mix well. Pour this into the springform pan and sprinkle the remaining biscuit-chocolate mixture on top. Cover the pan with clingwrap so no air gets inside. Freeze. When you are ready to serve, keep the cake out for 2-3 minutes before cutting.
