FANTASY ICE CREAM LOAF

 

I once won a newspaper competition with an easy dessert like this.

You'll need some plain ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, strawberrry, or a combination of any kind), some biscuits, which can be chocolate, vanilla,etc, and if you wish, chocolate for melting over it.

Soften the ice cream at room temperature for a while. Meanwhile, put some plastic wrap or aluminium foil into a long cake tin, leaving some of the foil or wrap hanging over the sides (to cover the dessert when the tin is full). Spoon some softened ice cream into the cake tin, then sprinkle some crushed biscuits on it. After this, spread some more ice cream over the biscuits, then sprinkle more biscuits on the ice cream, and so on until the tin is full. Finish off with a layer of biscuits. Bring the extra wrap or foil up and cover the dessert. Compact it well, so no air bubbles remain. Place in the freezer until firm. If you wish, you can unmold it when it is frozen and spread melted chocolate over it and place it in the freezer again, covering with film or foil when the chocolate is firm (a few minutes).  This recipe can be varied by using different types of ice cream, nuts, raspberries or chopped strawberries instead of the biscuits. To serve, place unmolded ice cream loaf on a dish and slice like a cake. Enjoy yourself!
