Let’s hear it for Linda from Brunch with Joy, who made this most excellent cake for us!
Like most people, my guilty pleasures involve spending too much time in front of screens and clicking on links that promise to tell me what job I should really be doing. Most of the time, those lunch break links lead me to fluff, but on other days, they lead to something spectacular, like this tiramisu ice cream cake.
One occasion, I was dreaming of having tiramisu because coffee and rum sounds better than plain boring cake. On the other hand, I’m due for another ice cream at home. I’ve been making my own ice cream since a couple of years ago, because Frederick likes ice cream so much, but he needs to control his sugar level. By making our own ice cream at home, I can measure and control the sugar content.
So, what happened when these two are combined? You’re right! Tiramisu ice cream cake is the answer. It’s easy and simple to make as I used store-bought lady fingers and vanilla bean ice cream. This tiramisu ice cream cake is perfect for a house-party, as it is simple to make but fancy enough to wow your guests.
