Ice Cream "Cake"~

i had an ice cream craving and i could'nt just settle for plain and simple ice cream, hence, i added extra ingredients and molded it into an 8 inch cake shape to make it more "interesting". All i had to do was to put on my "creativity" cap, let my imaginations flow, there's almost limitless ingredients that can be added to spice up a tub of plain ice cream~ It's easy and fun!

Recipe
Ingredients
  • 1 tub 2-litre ice cream (of your choice)
  • 1 small pack Salted/unsalted toasted almond nuts
  • 1 small pack Salted/unsalted pistachio nuts
  • 8 pieces of Chocolate coated waffle biscuits (i used apollo brand)
  • 1 small tube Mini m&m's chocolate candies

Method

~*Step 1*~

Line the cake base and cake ring with 2 pieces of cling wrap.

~*Step 2*~
Ensure that the ice cream has melted to a semi solid consistency. And set aside 3 tablespoonfuls of melted ice cream in a bowl.

~*Step 3*~
Crush/chop some almonds and pistachios using a motar and pestle or a food processor and add it into the tub of melted ice cream.

~*Step 4*~
Chop up some apollo chocolate waffles using a food processor, add into the tub of melted ice cream and mix well.

~*Step 5*~
Pour it into the lined cake ring.

~*Step 6*~
Stir some mini m&m chocolate candies into the bowl of ice cream to create the rainbow colour effect. Pour it into the ice cream mixture and make some swirls with a knife or satay stick.

~*Step 7*~
Place the ice cream cake mixture in the freezer for at least 4 hours to allow it to set.

~*Step 8*~
Remove the cake from the freezer, turn over the ice cream cake, remove the cake ring and cling wrap, cut and serve immediately. Enjoy~
