Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Vanilla wafers
- 1 liter Vanilla ice cream
- 1 liter Chocolate ice cream
- 2 cups Whipped cream
- 0.5 cups Chocolate syrup
- 0.5 cups Crushed nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cups Sprinkles (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
Instructions
Line a 9x9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or plastic wrap for easy removal later.
In a food processor, crush 200 grams of vanilla wafers until they form coarse crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter and press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish to create a crust.
Place the dish in the freezer for 10 minutes to let the crust set.
Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Spread a smooth, even layer of vanilla ice cream over the crust using a spatula.
Add a single layer of whole vanilla wafers on top of the vanilla ice cream, gently pressing them down.
Place the dish back in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Allow the chocolate ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature. Spread a smooth, even layer of chocolate ice cream over the vanilla wafers.
Cover the top with whipped cream, spreading it evenly or piping it in decorative swirls.
Drizzle chocolate syrup generously over the whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed nuts and/or sprinkles if desired.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the layers firm up completely.
To serve, remove the ice cream cake from the freezer and let it sit for 5 minutes at room temperature. Lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper or plastic wrap, and slice into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Ice Cream Cake with Vanilla Wafers!
