A Short Ice cream cake History

The ice cream cake has been a beloved enjoyable style of cake for birthdays, anniversaries, joyous holidays, and any celebrations that need a sweet dessert. Ice cream cake being a well known party food especially within North America and Australia were originally made from cream and biscuits. These Victorian era desserts were then called Bombe glacée or ‘ice cream bomb’ is an ice cream dessert made by freezing the ice cream in a spherical mold to look similar to a cannonball thus the name. This dessert appeared as early as the 1880’s. Some using different decorative molds with fruit. There has been ice cream cake recipes dating back to the 1870’s. Typically the Ice cream cake has a cake that’s cut to form the same shape as the mold used to mold the desired ice cream flavor, or cream mixture that will then be frozen. All the ingredients mainly the cake and the cream or ice cream are assembled while frozen, and chilled again after forming the desired shape or look. Ice cream cakes have become so popular that they are considered a Forth of July dessert with many retailers making themed cakes not only for the patriotic day, but themed holidays like Christmas tree shaped cakes, or decorated cakes, valentines and many more.

What you’ll need to do in this recipe

Being able to take your dessert anywhere with ease is an absolute must for every ice cream or cake lover out there. It makes it more fun and rustic looking. This Jar Ice Cream Cake just needs some premade cakes, in this case we’re using Fudgee Bars, namely the chocolate and for a more colorful ice cream bar cake, the macapuno flavored cake, which give you a vibrant neon green color. These are set aside separately after taking off the wrappers and parchment papers. For the cream, simply whip up the chilled all purpose cream and condensed milk till you get a nice smooth simple ‘ice cream mixture, separating it into two to make one vanilla version by adding vanilla extract in one bowl, and in the other bowl, add some pandan extract and green food coloring if you’d like to make a really vibrant green cream. To assemble, simple prepare a cleaned jar, crumble your choice of chocolate or macapuno cake, pressing it down to the bottom or if you don’t want a dense compressed cake, simple crumble the cake to bigger parts and place it down the bottom of the jar without pressing it down. Pour in some of the cream, chocolate or pandan, topping with another layer of cake, then cream, till you get 3 layers. Sealing with sprinkle of chocolate or white chocolate chips. Leaving this in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Seal this once it looks icy or to keep it from making the top look dry.
