Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 quart (946 ml) vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup (120 g) crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) raspberry preserves
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) melted butter
Garnish (Optional):
- Fresh raspberries
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Carefully drape plastic wrap inside an 8-inch round cake pan, ensuring excess wrap hangs over the edges for easy removal.
- Gently spread softened vanilla ice cream across the pan’s surface, creating a smooth, even layer.
- Delicately dollop raspberry preserves across the ice cream’s surface, spacing them randomly.
- Using a knife or skewer, create elegant swirling patterns by drawing the preserves through the ice cream, generating a marbled effect.
- Combine finely crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are thoroughly coated and cohesive.
- Distribute the cookie crumb mixture uniformly over the swirled ice cream layer, ensuring complete and consistent coverage.
- Securely wrap the entire pan with plastic wrap, then transfer to the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours until completely solidified.
- When ready to serve, lift the cake from the pan using the overhanging plastic wrap and transfer to a serving plate.
- Optional: Embellish the ice cream cake with fresh raspberries and delicate mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Soften ice cream at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to ensure smooth spreading without tearing.
- Create dramatic raspberry swirls by gently dragging a skewer through preserves in zigzag or circular motions for artistic patterns.
- Opt for seedless raspberry preserves to maintain a silky texture and prevent unwanted seed crunch in the cake.
- Experiment with alternative cookie bases like graham crackers or gluten-free cookies to accommodate different dietary preferences.
