Decadent ice cream layer cake with candy toppings and chocolate shards - a must-try showstopper best prepped in advance.
Ingredients:
  • 440g packet golden buttercake cake mix
  • 2 x 395g cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 1.5 litres thickened cream
  • 85g Original Lime Flavoured Jelly Crystals
  • 85g Original Berry Blue
  • 85g Original Strawberry
  • 85g Original Lemon
  • Chocolate mint balls, large marshmallow
  • puffs and coloured sprinkles, to decorate
  • 375g packet NESTLÉ BAKERS' CHOICE White Choc Melts
  • Green, blue, pink and yellow gel food colourings
  • Assorted sprinkles, to decorate
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Grease a 22cm square cake pan with a 6cm depth and line it with two layers of baking paper. Also, grease a 22cm round springform pan with a 6cm depth, line the base with baking paper, and the sides with three layers of baking paper, extending them 8cm above the edge of the pan.
  • Follow the cake mix instructions on the packet (save the icing for later). Pour the batter into a greased square pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
  • Trim the cake to 1 1/2cm high with a serrated knife. Use the base of the springform pan as a guide, carefully cut around the pan to create a cake circle. Put it in the prepared round pan, filling any gaps with cake trimmings. Discard the remaining trimmings.
  • With an electric mixer, whip together 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 1/2 cups thickened cream, and lime jelly crystals until soft peaks form. Spread the mixture over the cake base in the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles. Freeze for 2 hours or until set.
  • Next, use the remaining 1/2 cup of condensed milk, 1 1/2 cups of cream, and berry blue jelly crystals. Pour over the frozen lime ice-cream in the pan. Freeze for 2 hours. Repeat the same process with the rest of the condensed milk, cream, and strawberry and lemon jelly crystals for two more delightful layers. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
  • Prepare trays lined with baking paper. Melt 1⁄4 of the chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM for 1 minute, stirring halfway through. Add green food coloring. Spread onto a tray to 2mm thickness. Sprinkle with decorations. Repeat with remaining chocolate and colors for 4 sheets. Allow to set for 20 minutes. Cut into large shards after setting.
  • Gently remove the ice-cream cake from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Press chocolate shards onto the top of the cake and garnish with chocolate mint balls, marshmallows, and sprinkles. Serve promptly.
