If you’re a tiramisu fan, you’ll go crazy over this frozen version of the popular treat!
When it comes to entertaining, I love to make ice cream cakes because they’re a make-ahead dessert that always goes over well. This tiramisu version combines the flavors of coffee and chocolate to make a unique and exciting sweet treat.
How do you make tiramisu ice cream cake?
This ice cream cake is not difficult to make but it does require some time to chill in between layers so plan accordingly. The first step is to make the ice cream. This is a simple no-churn ice cream with just 3 ingredients. The ice cream needs at least 4 hours in the freezer to set up and you can make it up to a week in advance. The other two components in this recipe are pound cake and a chocolate ganache that takes about 3 minutes to make. You could also use my homemade magic shell recipe instead of ganache for a different topping texture. I used a store bought pound cake in this recipe to make life a little easier.
When the ice cream is completely frozen it’s time to assemble the cake. The pound cake gets sliced in half and spread with a layer of ganache, a layer of ice cream, and then a second layer of ganache.
After the cake has been assembled it goes back into the freezer until it’s frozen solid. You can then pull your cake out of the pan and decorate it. I trimmed the sides of the cake to make the pretty layers show through, then I added more chocolate ganache to the top of the cake. I finished the cake off with some whipped cream and chocolate curls. If you’d like to make your own chocolate curls it’s quite easy to do. You’ll need a bar of chocolate and a vegetable peeler. The trick is that the chocolate needs to be slightly warm – you can hold it in your hand to warm it up. To test if the chocolate is the right temperature to curl, put your finger on it – if a fingerprint is left behind, it’s warm enough that the curls will hold their shape.
This tiramisu ice cream cake is the perfect mixture of flavors and textures and it truly tastes like the classic tiramisu dessert but in frozen form! When you slice the cake it looks really fancy with all of the different layers and everyone will be so impressed that you made your own ice cream. Looking for more ways to cool off?
