HOW TO MAKE ICE CREAM DREAM CAKE
Making dream cake ice cream is much easier than you thought. Unlike homemade ice cream, this recipe will not include any whisking or beating. Totally hassle-free! This wonderful dessert is made with 4 layers of love, and we’ll get through them one by one.
Get a container and layer it with chocolate cake. To make things easier and much economical, I used ready-to-eat chocolate cake bars instead of baking a new one. Gently press them to fill the bottom of the container fully.
The next layer is the ice cream. This quick and easy ice cream layer is made with chilled all purpose cream and chilled condensed milk mixed together. Sprinkle some cocoa powder for it to match the whole set. I used a pastry bag to layer the ice cream nicely. If you have no pastry bag, you can simply layer the cream above the chocolate cake bars but make sure to flatten the top before freezing it.
The last layer is the chocolate. You can use your favorite chocolate and just simply melt it. Make sure to prepare extra chocolate as we will be needing to make a thick layer of it. Before layering the melted chocolate, make sure that the ice cream is completely frozen. Pour the melted chocolate and spread it quickly as it will harden due to the coldness of the ice cream. Make a slightly thick layer of chocolate so we will have that cracking action as we eat this dessert later. Lastly, decorate your dream cake ice cream by sprinkling cocoa powder. Use a strainer to evenly dust the cocoa powder and to make sure that there will be no lumps. Make sure to cover the all the melted chocolate with the cocoa powder.
The ice cream cake is definitely done and can be devoured after sprinkling the cocoa powder. Go crack the chocolate and dig in this sweet chilled dessert! Enjoy!
