![]() The taste of this ice cream cake was very much similar to that, I think it was because of the pistachios and walnuts. I miss Indian Cassata ice cream very much. If you don’t like that to happen you can make all ice cream layers or dig in after thawing it for a couple of minutes.ģ. The taste was out of the world. I noticed that when pudding freezes it’s very hard than the ice cream. When I took it out after 4 hours it was good, but another 1 or 2 hours should be perfect. Carefully remove the cake with the help of the plastic wrap. ![]() I microwaved the ice cream with the paper container for 15-25 seconds, so I could spread it. Give the final touch of adding some more walnuts and pistachios.įreezing for 4 hours should be fine. Now a layer of vanilla ice cream over the muffin crumbs. Top the pudding layer with the remaining muffin crumbs. Now top the crumbs with the pudding and form a nice thick layer and top it with pistachios again. I also mixed some chopped pistachios to the pudding. Initially it’s in a liquid form and within 5 minutes it firms up. Prepared the pudding as per the directions of the package. Reserved the other half for another layer. If I had left the moist bottoms out,it would have become one big lump I guess. Actually I had stored the muffins in the refrigerator to dry them up so it will powder easily in a food processor. I pressed half the quantity of muffin crumbs on the bottom of the pan, nice and firm. I wrapped it completely covering the entire pan and also left some extra outside so that I can lift the cake with the wrap once it freezes. I lined the pan with plastic wrap because I vaguely remembered something similar to this in one episode of Food TV. ![]() First I thought of using a pie tin, then I changed my mind. Toppings are also limitless, from fudge sundae, caramel topping etc. You can either go with all pudding mixes with different flavors or cool whip or all ice cream layers or mix and match.ģ. Crush Oreos cookies or brownies, or line the pan with frozen pound cake, or use ready made pie crust.Ģ. Walnuts and Pistachios, unsalted and chopped.ġ. 1 packet JELLO Instant Pudding Mix, pistachio flavor.Ĥ. Anyway I’ll list what I used and what other variations can be made.Ģ. The beauty of this cake is there is no set of baking procedure or must have ingredients. I’ve seen it being used by Food TV chefs all the time. I thought why not go with instant pudding mix. Unlike India we don’t get pistachio flavored ice cream here. ![]() Then realized that my mother in law is not a big fan of strawberry and she likes pistachios. I wanted a Neapolitan Ice Cream look so thought of going with strawberry and chocolate flavors. I wanted to crush the muffins, both tops and bottoms in a food processor, put it in a pie tin and layer with ice cream and freeze it. I’ve always wanted to buy it and make something. Right? I’ve seen Oreos Cookie Pie crust in stores, so that was also an inspiration. Now back to the ice cream cake recipe, I won’t say this recipe is my discovery, but come on guys, I need some credit here for thinking quickly and not wasting food. Why not turn it into an ice cream layered cake? See, watching Food TV does help, especially Sandra Lee’s Semi-Homemade Cooking. ![]() I wanted to bake another batch of those delicious chocolate muffins, but didn’t know what to do with the first batch, then an idea flashed in my head. The bottoms were moist but the tops were dry. To cut the long story short, my first batch of muffins did not come out well. I think you can guess where I’m going if you’ve read my choconut muffins story. I can say that this ice cream cake recipe is a classic example for serendipity. ![]()
