When I saw this cake on Foodgawker I knew I had to make it. There are only three ingredients, vanilla ice cream, rice krispies, and nutella. These are all very good things. It kind of reminded me of everyone’s favorite Lake House Brownies.
I followed this recipe from Family Feast exactly, down to chilling the bowls and pan. They give great instructions. It takes up quite a bit of freezer space, but it is worth making the room. They recommend letting the finished product freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight. I believe I took it out around 4 hours and it was a little soft. It would have been fine to eat right away but I wanted to take pictures. This ended up being quite the scene.
I removed the dessert from the springform pan and placed it
on the pedestal I had picked out for the pictures. It looked lovely! Maybe a little soft, but I would make it
work. Plan A was to put it on the
counter and stand above it on a chair.
Well the lighting was all off and it clearly was not going to work. It was also melting very fast. I knew I needed to hurry. In my rush to jump off the chair I sustained an injury. This particular chair has sharp metal corners. I had spent the day by the lake so I was in my swimsuit and a skirt. The sharp metal corner got me in the back of my leg right by the, uh…. Tush. I don’t often swear but man I wanted to at that moment. Grandma Rosie was right there so that was not going to happen. Once I stopped seeing stars I carried the cake into a different room with better light. Annnnd dripped the entire way.
OK, the dessert was in good light and I started snapping away. It kept dripping.
I finally got a somewhat decent picture and quickly got the whole thing back in the freezer. The next day when it came out of the freezer it was the perfect consistency and sliced beautifully. Also, it was absolutely delicious. How could it not be amazing? Totally worth the embarrassing injury and messy floor.
