SUGAR WAFER NEAPOLITAN ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Line the inside of an 8-inch round (3-quart) baking pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang of wrap.
• Spread 1 pint of ice cream across the bottom of the prepared pan. Line the edge of the pan with a single layer of upright chocolate wafer cookies, pressing them all the way to the bottom so they sit firmly in the ice cream. Repeat with another circle of chocolate wafer cookies nestled against the first row. Arrange 2 circles of vanilla wafer cookies followed by 2 circles of strawberry wafer cookies. Fill the center hole with 2 to 3 strawberry wafer cookies.
• Spread the remaining ice cream over the top, tapping the pan on the counter lightly to makes sure the ice cream fills all the nooks and crannies (the ice cream should be quite soft--almost melted is okay). Pull the plastic wrap up and over to cover the top and freeze at least overnight and up to 2 weeks.
• When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer and let sit for 10 minutes to make unmolding easier. Beat the cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form. Put 1 cup of the whipped cream in a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip.
• Unwrap and invert the cake onto a serving dish. Frost with the remaining whipped cream, then use the whipped cream in the pastry bag to pipe stars on top and around the bottom of the cake. Decorate with the sprinkles.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Press ice cream into a 9x13-inch, parchment-lined baking tray, then smooth out the top. Transfer into a freezer for at least one hour.
• Position one rack in the upper-middle part of the oven and the other in the lower-middle part. Then, set the oven to preheat to 350°F.
• Sift the flour, the cocoa, and the salt into a medium-sized bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter with a mixer on medium speed until light and frothy, then with the mixer still on, add the yolks and the vanilla.
• Stir in the flour and the cocoa mixture, but do not overmix.
• Divide the dough in half, then shape each half into a 5-inch square. Wrap each square in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Put one rectangle of dough on a lightly floured working surface, then roll out to an 8x12-inch rectangle and cut into 12 4x2-inch cookies. Do the same with the other rectangle of dough.
• Using a flat spatula, place the cookies on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Then, poke 15 holes in each cookie using a pointy object.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, switching the baking sheets from bottom to top and from front to back at the 5-6 minute mark.
• When done, take out of the oven and wait until the cookies are completely cooled, before proceeding with the next steps.
• Take the ice cream out of the tray, then trim the edges for a cleaner look and cut the ice cream into 12 4x2-inch rectangles.
• Place each rectangle in between two cookies, then wrap each ice cream sandwich in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, so they soften.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH WAFERS

Steps:

• Melt together chocolates and butter in a medium bowl over simmering water, stirring with a wooden spoon. When smooth, add the salt and sugar, stirring well. Remove from heat. Beat in eggs, then fold in flour until mixed. Let cool, roll in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

• When dough is firm, cut off a large piece. Dust a work surface with sugar and roll dough 1/4 inch thick, sprinkling more sugar as needed to prevent sticking. Cut into desired shapes and bake on prepared sheet for 11 minutes. Cool wafers on a wire rack.

ICE CREAM CONE CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the cones in a muffin tin to hold them upright.
• Put the butter, flour, custard powder, vanilla, sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk until smooth. If you have nimblefingered little helpers, hand round pairs of teaspoons and set them to work filling the cones. If you're making them yourself, spoon the cake batter into a food bag or disposable piping bag, snip off the end to give you a wide hole, then pipe into the cones, filling them ¾ full - this will enable you to get the batter right to the bottom.
• Bake the cone cakes, still in the muffin tin, for 30 mins until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool.
• To decorate the cakes, beat the butter until smooth, then add the icing sugar and vanilla, and beat again until well mixed. Put into a piping bag fitted with a big star nozzle, then pipe icing on top of each cake as you would a cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles, cherries, drizzles of sauce - whatever you like.
