INGREDIENTS

Ice Cream Cake

4 (4) Ferrero Rocher chocolates
⅓ cup (⅓ cup) whole milk warm
600 ml (2 ½ cups) heavy cream
395 g (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoon (2 tablespoon) milk powder
12 (12) chocolate cookies
½ cup (½ cup) Nutella

Garnish

½ cup (½ cup) chocolate sauce
6 (6) Ferrero Rocher chocolates

INSTRUCTIONS

Ice Cream Cake

Place a mousse ring on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Line the ring with an acetate cake collar or parchment paper for easy removal.
In a bowl, blend 4 Ferrero Rocher chocolates with warm milk until smooth. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, milk powder (if using), and the cooled Ferrero Rocher mixture.
Use a hand mixer to mix until the mixture thickens and increases in volume by at least one third.
Start with a layer of chocolate cookies at the base of the mousse ring, breaking pieces as needed to fill any gaps.
Pour half of the ice cream mixture over the cookie layer.
Place another layer of cookies on top of the ice cream, again filling gaps with broken pieces.
Mix the Nutella into the remaining ice cream mixture until well combined.
Pour this over the second layer of cookies. Smooth the top and freeze overnight or up to a week.

Serve

When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer. Release it from the mousse ring and remove the acetate collar or parchment paper.
Transfer the cake to a serving plate, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and decorate with the remaining Ferrero Rocher chocolates, whole and in chunks.
Let the cake sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.

NOTES

Using warm milk helps extract and infuse the Ferrero Rocher flavor better.

Letting the cake sit before cutting makes slicing easier and ensures a clean cut through the layers.

Customize the garnish to fit the occasion, adding a personal touch to this impressive dessert.
