Celebrate the 4th of July with a sweet salute! This patriotic spin on ice-cream cake is the coolest dessert of the summer!
Ingredients
- 1 (10.75-oz.) frozen pound cake, thawed
- 2 pt. vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1/2 cup blueberry preserves
- 2 pt. raspberry sorbet, softened
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 (10-oz.) package frozen raspberries, thawed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Garnishes: assorted fresh berries, mint leaves
Directions
-
Cut 10 (1/2-inch-thick) slices from cake. Arrange slices in a single layer on bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, trimming as needed to snugly cover pan. Save remaining cake for another use.
-
Stir together vanilla ice cream and blueberry preserves in a medium bowl. Spread blueberry ice-cream mixture over cake slices. Cover and freeze 1 hour.
-
Stir together softened raspberry sorbet and raspberry preserves in a medium bowl. Spread raspberry sorbet mixture over blueberry ice-cream mixture. Cover and freeze 3 hours to 2 days.
-
Process frozen raspberries, honey, and 2 Tbsp. water in a blender until smooth. Press raspberry mixture through a wire-mesh strainer using the back of a spoon. Discard pulp and seeds. Chill until ready to serve.
-
Just before serving, beat cream and sugar at medium speed until soft peaks form. Gently run a sharp knife around edge of cake to loosen. Remove springform pan. Spread whipped cream over frozen cake. Drizzle with raspberry-honey sauce.
