New Year New Me Cake Recipe – CARAMEL & PEANUT ICE CREAM CAKE
Let me run you through this thing. We’ve got a light crust base with an amazing chocolatey and nutty flavor, topped with crazy-good creamy banana/caramel ice cream. It’s absolutely divine, it’s so easy too and only takes 10 minutes or so to whip up. The cake will need at least 8 hours to set in the freezer, but it’s even better the next day, when the crust is softer and the flavors have melded. I let it freeze overnight. After I released it from the pan, I added yummy drizzles of salted caramel to finish it off. Twenty minutes before serving, let the ice cream cake thaw on the counter at room temperature so that you can slice it. I also sliced up all the leftovers before freezing them again, so I didn’t have to do that later.
