An ice-cream cake for a special occasion, birthday or party? A pretty easy cake to make. All you need is to do it 1 or 2 days before. A few store-bought ingredients will make this cake presentable and hopefully, a 'wow' factor. You can choose your fillings as what you like. Mix and match is the key here. I find it a little too sweet as I have added the dark chocolate chips. If I make this combination again, I would not use the chips. AND Twix. But the caramel is so goooood. Okay, perhaps half of it. ;)

Ingredients
2 litres of vanilla ice-cream
1 pack of 150g of OREO cookies
1 pack of Twix
2 layers of chocolate sponge cake (I have used ICA's brand)
50g of dark chocolate chips (optional)
3 dl of whipped cream
1 pack of baking dark chocolate
some cocoa powder
Method
- Line your baking pan with clingwrap. This makes it easy for removal later.
- Remove the cream from Oreo cookies, place these cookies and Twix in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. You can have a variety of sizes (small bits and powderish). Keep some 'powderish' Oreo for decoration.
- Cream ice-cream, crushed cookies and dark chocolate chips till combined. Use low speed.
- Put 1 layer of chocolate sponge cake in the baking pan as the bottom layer.
- Scoop the ice-cream mixture into the pan and level it.
- Put the 2nd layer of chocolate sponge cake on top. Cover the cake with the cling wrap and freeze it overnight.
- Transfer the cake to a plate or a cake holder. Beat 3dl of whipped cream and use it to frost the cake. You can use a spatula or a spoon. Work quickly to avoid melting.
- Sprinkle some 'powderish' Oreo at the sides of the cake and freeze it for 30 mins.
- In the meanwhile, melt dark chocolate in the microwave or over a pot of boiling water.
- Line a pan with a piece of parchment/baking paper and sprinkle some cocoa powder.
- Next, use a spoon and drizzle the melted chocolate all over a baking/parchment paper. You can create your own design. I did the 'scribbling' method.
- Sift some cocoa powder on the melted chocolate and let them set in the fridge for 30 mins.
- Sprinkle the rest of the Oreo on the cake and layer the chocolate on top. You can break them into desired sizes.
- Pipe some whipped cream as decor and top with Oreo cookies.
- Serve it as soon as the decoration is done.
