Main Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
- 2 cups orange sherbet, softened
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs, finely crushed
- 0.5 cup butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter and the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Form the crust layer: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer for the base of the cake.
- Add vanilla ice cream layer: Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the graham cracker crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula to create a flat layer.
- Freeze first layer: Place the pan in the freezer and freeze for 1-2 hours or until the vanilla ice cream layer is firm to the touch.
- Add orange sherbet layer: Spread the softened orange sherbet evenly over the firm vanilla ice cream layer, smoothing it carefully to form the top layer of the cake.
- Freeze cake completely: Return the cake to the freezer and continue freezing for 2-3 hours or until the entire cake is completely firm and set.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish the top of the cake with the whipped heavy cream and serve immediately for a refreshing treat.
Notes
- Ensure each ice cream layer is completely frozen and firm before adding the next layer to prevent mixing and maintain clean layers.
- Use softened ice cream and sherbet to make spreading easier without melting.
- For easier removal, briefly run a warm knife around the edges of the pan before releasing the springform side.
- Customize by adding fresh orange zest to the whipped cream for an extra citrus flavor.
- Store leftovers covered in the freezer to maintain freshness.
