ice cream cake
with forest fruits
This ice cream cake is a variation on the
classic "ice cream bomb". You can choose
the shape yourself, depending on the bowl
in which you will scoop the ice cream. Even
individual portions are possible, for
example in coffee cups or soup bowls.
The chocolate ice cream is a hit, perhaps
partly because it contains the brown
Austrian Strohrum at 56° alcohol. Other
drinks are conceivable, but it is best to
choose the slightly sweeter types, such as
liqueurs. Please note that the use of alcohol
in an ice cream cake is not child friendly. In
a cold preparation such as this, the alcohol
absolutely does not evaporate.
Preparation. Take an oval glass bowl and line
the inside with foil. Place the bowl in the fridge.
Ice cream. Beat the egg yolks with the sugars
to a white frothy mass, a ruban. Add the cold
milk while stirring. Beat the cream almost until
stiff and mix carefully with the first preparation.
Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker, set it
to ice cream mode and let it run for about 45
minutes, or until your machine indicates that the
ice cream is ready.
Spoon the ice cream into the bowl and cover
the sides and bottom with it. Leave enough
room in the middle for the chocolate ice cream.
Place the bowl in the freezer compartment.
Chocolate ice cream. Beat the egg yolks with
the icing sugar and the vanilla sugar to a ruban.
Mix in the cocoa powder. While stirring, add the
cold whole milk, a few drops of mocha essence
and a shot glass of Stroh rum. Beat the full
cream until almost stiff. Mix the cocoa
preparation with the cream and pour the
substance into the ice cream maker. Set it to
the 'ice cream' position and let it run for about
45 minutes or until your machine indicates that
the ice cream is ready. Add a few bars of finely
chopped dark chocolate to the ice cream
preparation halfway through.
Spoon the chocolate ice cream into the middle
of the bowl, on top of the ice cream. Cover with
foil and put the bowl back in the freezing
compartment.
Finishing off. Melt a packet of dark chocolate
au bain-marie. Pour the melted chocolate onto
a sheet of baking paper on an oven tray.
Spread the chocolate evenly over the sheet
with the back of a spoon. Place the tray in a
cool place and allow the chocolate to set
completely.
Whip the contents of a bottle of cream until stiff
and pour into a piping bag with a serrated
mouth. Set aside in a cool place.
Break the chocolate sheet into chunks.
Remove the ice cream cake from the freezer
and remove the foil. Place the cake in the
middle on a dish that has approximately the
same oval shape. Now pipe the whipped cream
from the piping bag all around and on top. Stick
the slices of chocolate around the edge. Place
the cake back in the freezer until the layer of
whipped cream has also frozen.
Finish the ice cream cake just before serving.
Decorate the top with fresh fruit, in this case a
mixture of forest fruits, star fruit and golden
berries. Dust with icing sugar and cocoa
powder as you wish. Spoon a spoonful of
advocaat on top here and there.
Finally, finish off the edge of the dish with a
layer of cocoa powder, so that any stains from
ice cream and cream are camouflaged.
