Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chocolate wafer cookies
- 1.5 liters Vanilla ice cream
- 0.5 cups Chocolate syrup
- 2 cups Whipped cream
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or hazelnuts)
- 0.25 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes until it's easy to spread.
Line a 9-inch springform pan or cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Cover the bottom of the pan with a single layer of chocolate wafer cookies. Break cookies into smaller pieces if necessary to fill any gaps.
Spread an even layer of softened vanilla ice cream over the wafer cookies, using about one-third of the ice cream. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Drizzle a thin layer of chocolate syrup over the ice cream and sprinkle a handful of chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Add another layer of chocolate wafer cookies over the ice cream, pressing them gently into place.
Repeat the process: spread another one-third of the ice cream, drizzle chocolate syrup, and sprinkle nuts and mini chocolate chips. Add a third and final layer of wafer cookies and top with the remaining ice cream.
Smooth the final layer of ice cream, ensuring an even surface. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firmly set.
Once the cake is fully frozen, remove it from the freezer. Release it from the springform pan or carefully lift it out using the parchment paper.
Spread whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake for decoration. Optionally, garnish with sprinkles, more chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips.
Slice with a sharp knife (run the knife under warm water and dry it for clean cuts) and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer.
