Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 quart Ice cream (flavor 1, such as chocolate)
- 1 quart Ice cream (flavor 2, such as vanilla)
- 1 quart Ice cream (flavor 3, such as strawberry)
- 1 loaf Pound cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cup Rainbow sprinkles (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chocolate syrup (optional, for garnish)
- 1 can Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Remove all three flavors of ice cream from the freezer and allow them to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, until they become spreadable but not melted.
2. Line a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang on all sides to wrap the top later.
3. Cut the pound cake horizontally into three 1-inch thick slices. Trim the slices as needed so they fit snugly into the loaf pan as layers.
4. Begin assembling the loaf by spreading the first flavor of softened ice cream evenly in the bottom of the loaf pan to create a smooth layer.
5. Place one slice of pound cake directly on top of the first layer of ice cream, pressing gently to make it adhere.
6. Spread the second flavor of softened ice cream evenly over the pound cake layer.
7. Add the second slice of pound cake, pressing gently, followed by a layer of the third flavor of ice cream.
8. Finish with the final slice of pound cake, pressing gently to complete the loaf. Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the top to cover the loaf completely.
9. Freeze the loaf for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set.
10. When ready to serve, remove the loaf pan from the freezer and unwrap the plastic wrap from the top.
11. Invert the pan onto a serving platter and remove the plastic wrap completely.
12. Garnish the top of the loaf with rainbow sprinkles, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and whipped cream if desired.
13. Slice the loaf into 1-inch thick slices with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts, and serve immediately.
