I'm actually a Ice Cream Cake.
yes, remember the meringue, it's suppose to be a Meringue Chesnut Ice Cream Cake from Nigella's book. BUT, meringue failed, no chesnut puree. So, basically, I just took the whole idea and manipulated my own cake. Eh no, and then I remembered that Nigella Bites had a recipe for a Bitter Orange Ice Cream. So, I thought of making a Orange Ice Cream Cake.
This is a DAMN EASY CAKE!!!! It's a easy recipe for the ice cream, no need of ice cream machine, or stirring it every hour, or any tedious method. It's just, 2 large orange juice, and 600ml double cream. yes SIX HUNDRED! Double / Thickened Cream can be bought from Cold Storage. *yes I drived all the way from Klang to Subang Parade, about 15 minutes, just for some bottles of double cream*. Oh, and 175gm icing sugar. Ok so first, grate the zest of the oranges, then squeeze the juice. Add icing sugar and mix till well blended. Then add in double cream and whip till soft peaks.
Then if u'd like to indulge the ice cream alone, get an airtight container, fill it and keep in the freezer. U can do lots with the ice cream. I last-minutely used Jacobs Low Salt High Fiber crackers (cause no one eats it at home. haha). I arrange them at the bottom of the tin. This, a square tin would be very much useful. Then pour the ice cream, then add another layer of crackers, and then another layer of ice cream. U can do with another layer. It's up to u, as long as the ice cream is on top.
And then, freeze it for about 3 hours before serving.
See, easy right ? all u need is, double cream, which hardly exist in Klang! hah
I kept some in a container cause I wanted to try out first. So, basically the whole idea is like the picture above.
And there, the cake and 2 receipients
The waitress came by and asked if it was a Birthday cake ?
"No, it's not.."
"Oh, I was about to put candles for u"
"OHHH, no worries, we're just eating here"
"Ok, so what cake is it ? is it homemade? who made"
"oh, she made it" (and my friends started pointing finger at me. haha)
"uh it's ice cream cake"
"Oh, I thought it was a cheesecake, so u made this yourself ?"
"yeah"
"even the ice cream ?"
"yup"
"OH wah, so do u take orders for cake ?"
*stunned*"er, not really, I'm leaving next week"
"Oh, where to ?"
"Australia"
"To study?"
"yeah"
blablabla.. blablabla
We gave her a piece of the cake, exchanged names, and she said remember to come back to the cafe when i'm back from Aussie. Hahahahaha. Thats like TWO years later, I don't think she'll remember me. me neither will remember her -.-"
yum… this is quite experimental, cause i've not made ice cream and that Jacob biscuits were quite last minute! In a way, the meringue's failuer was another blessing in disguise. Meringue were too sweet anyway. The ice cream was very citrusy and creamy. My friends liked it.
And there, Jacob Orange signing off
