Hello! My name is Natalia and I am glad to welcome you to my channel Tasty Simply Fast!
Today I would like to suggest you to make an ice cream cake "Cherry in chocolate".
The cake is very tasty, chocolate ice cream is in harmony with sour cherries in chocolate.
A step-by-step video recipe can be viewed in my video below.
Let's cook
- 100 grams of cream with a fat content of 30-35% and 100 grams of dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 50%
- heat together in a microwave or water bath, and stir until smooth. Soft chocolate ready
- Cut 100 - 150 grams of pitted cherries in half, if the cherries are large, then it is better to cut them into 3 parts. Cherries can be taken both fresh and frozen
- Dip each piece of cherry on all sides in chocolate and spread it on parchment paper. If you will use frozen cherries, then you do not need to defrost them in advance.
- put the cherries in the refrigerator to freeze the chocolate
- put the remaining chocolate in a pastry bag, later decorate the top of the cake with this chocolate
- for the base, we need 300 grams of shortbread chocolate chip cookies. Cookies must be crushed
The quickest option is to grind it in a blender. If you don't have a blender, you can put the cookies in a bag and roll them out with a rolling pin.
- pour 90 grams of melted butter into the crushed crumb. Mix everything thoroughly
- add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of cream or milk. Stir until smooth
- then look at your cookies, the crumb should be well pressed, and easily crumble back. If the crumb does not hold its shape, then you can add another 1 tbsp. a spoonful of cream or milk
- postpone 2 tbsp. spoons of crumbs, with this crumb we will decorate the top of the cake at the end
I collect the cake in a detachable form with a diameter of 19 cm.
I close the bottom of the form with parchment paper, cover the edges of the form with Teflon tape. Acetate foil or parchment paper can be used instead of tape.
- we shift all the remaining crumbs into a mold, level and form the sides. I make bumpers about 4.5 cm high
Press the edges with a spoon, press the sides well to the form. We tamp the bottom with a glass, this will be our base. We put the base in the refrigerator and make ice cream.
Let's make ice cream
- in a clean, dry, cold bowl, whisk 400 grams of chilled cream with a fat content of 30-35%. We begin to beat at the minimum speed of the mixer
- when the cream starts to foam, gradually increase the mixer speed to maximum and whip the cream until airy. Whisk the cream until soft peaks
- add 200 grams of condensed milk to the whipped cream. Stir at medium speed of the mixer until smooth
- add 40 grams or 4 tbsp. spoons without the top of sifted cocoa. Mix gently at medium speed of the mixer until smooth
- chocolate ice cream is ready, collect the cocoa from the walls and stir along the bottom
Let's form a cake
- visually divide the ice cream into 3 parts, spread 1/3 of the ice cream on the base and evenly level
- put chocolate-covered cherries on ice cream
- put the next 1/3 of the ice cream on the cherry and evenly level
Next, repeat the layers
- put cherries on ice cream
- the remaining ice cream on the cherry
- put cherries on ice cream
- decorate the cake on top, draw the mesh with the remaining chocolate
- sprinkle the edge of the cake with the previously set aside crumbs and lightly press the crumbs to the ice cream with a teaspoon
We put the cake in the freezer until it hardens completely, for about 5-7 hours. Freezing time depends on the capacity of your freezer.
To make the cake easier to cut, it must be removed from the freezer in advance, about 10 - 20 minutes before serving. Depending on what your room temperature is.
