Club Tropicana Ice Cream Cake Recipes

CLUB TROPICANA ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Cut a piece of sponge about 5mm thick to fit a 1lb 16 x 10cm loaf tin and trim off any dark edges (off-cuts are a cook's perk). Line the loaf tin with a double layer of strong cling film and push the sponge into the base. If the madeira cake is smaller than the tin, patch any gaps - you won't see them when the cake is finished.
• Spoon a layer of mango sorbet into the tin using three-quarters of the tub, flatten the surface using the back of a spoon and freeze for 10 mins. Repeat using the vanilla ice cream, then add another layer of sponge. Melt the chocolate and pour it over the second layer of sponge. Freeze for 10 mins, then carefully add a layer of raspberry sorbet in the same way, followed by a final layer of sponge. Cover the lot in cling film, then freeze until you need it. Turn the ice cream cake out of the tin onto a plate and peel off the cling film, then decorate the top with whipped cream and cherries. Wait 10 mins before slicing with a long, straight-edged knife. Extra cherries are optional.

TROPICAL ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Combine the heavy cream and cream of coconut in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold in the lime zest.
• Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform cake pan with a single layer of cookies, breaking up some of them to fill in any gaps. Spread half of the coconut-lime cream on top of the cookies, then sprinkle with half of the coconut flakes and half the mango. Repeat this layer 1 more time with the remaining cookies, cream, coconut flakes and mango. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 12.
• Once completely chilled, remove the plastic wrap and run a thin paring knife along the edge of the cake. Remove the outer ring of the pan. Sprinkle the cake with the macadamia nuts.

TROPICAL NICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with a double layer of foil leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
• For the mango nice cream: Put the mango, bananas, honey and vanilla in a food processor and process. Hang on, your food processor may jolt in the very beginning! The bananas will look crumbly at first, then gooey and eventually light and creamy, just like ice cream. Stop the food processor frequently to scrape down the sides of the bowl and break up any clumps. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly with an offset spatula and freeze. Rinse and dry the food processor bowl and blade.
• For the strawberry nice cream: Put the strawberries, bananas, honey and vanilla in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy just like the mango nice cream. Spread evenly on top of the mango nice cream with an offset spatula and freeze. Rinse and dry the food processor bowl and blade.
• For the pineapple nice cream: Put the pineapple, bananas, honey and vanilla in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy just like the other two nice cream flavors. Spread evenly with an offset spatula on top of the strawberry nice cream and freeze until completely solid, 8 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve: Let the nice cream cake sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to thaw slightly. Use the foil overhang to lift and remove the cake from the pan. Place upside down on a serving platter so the mango layer is on top.
• Combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Pour over the top of the nice cream cake, spreading and smoothing with an offset spatula to cover the top and so that some of the chocolate drips down the sides. Freeze until the chocolate is hard and set, about 10 minutes. Cut into 1-inch-thick slices.

NEAPOLITAN ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch round cake pan with plastic wrap or waxed paper. Fill with softened ice cream. Place in the refrigerator until hardened, at least 3 hours.
• When the ice cream has been in the freezer for 2 hours, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of two 9-inch round, nonstick cake pans.
• Place chocolate cake mix in a large bowl. Add 1 cup water, 1/2 cup oil, and 3 eggs; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• In another large bowl, repeat Step 2 with the strawberry cake mix.
• Pour 1/2 of the chocolate batter into one of the prepared pans and 1/2 of the strawberry batter into the remaining pan. Discard remaining batter or save for another use.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 24 to 29 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
• Place the chocolate cake on a serving plate with the top side down. Pull the ice cream layer out of the pan with the plastic wrap and place it on top of the chocolate cake. Place the strawberry cake on the ice cream with the top side up. Frost cake with whipped topping.
• Serve immediately or place in the freezer until ready to serve.
