Sugar Wafer Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake Recipes

NEAPOLITAN ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with a parchment paper circle.
• Cover the bottom of the pan with the pound cake, using any extra pieces to line the sides of the pan if desired. Scoop the chocolate ice cream onto the cake layer. Spread with an offset spatula to make a smooth top. Scoop the strawberry ice cream over the chocolate layer and smooth the top. Scoop the pistachio ice cream over the strawberry layer and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Unmold the cake by running a knife around the edge of it, then unhinge the springform and remove. Invert the cake onto a sheet of plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment. Place a plate on the bottom and invert once more.
• Put the heavy cream, chocolate syrup, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl and whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. (This makes enough frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake with additional to pipe decorations if desired.)
• Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream frosting and sprinkle with the pistachios. If the cake begins to get too soft, put it back into the freezer for a few minutes.
• Freeze another 1 1/2 to 2 hours or overnight. Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

NEAPOLITAN ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with heavy-duty foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. Arrange 5 ice cream sandwiches snugly in the bottom of the pan. Spread the strawberry ice cream on top in an even layer. Press the remaining 5 ice cream sandwiches on top, then spread the mint chip ice cream evenly over the sandwiches. Top with an even layer of crushed cookies, pressing gently.
• Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze until set, about 4 hours. Uncover, then lift the foil to remove the cake from the pan. Invert onto a platter, remove the foil and spread with the chocolate shell topping. Serve immediately or cover and freeze for up to 2 days.

NEAPOLITAN ICE CREAM CAKE ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until pale and foamy, about 2 minutes.
• Add the sugar, oil, and vanilla. Whisk again until incorporated.
• Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• Mix with a spatula until combined.
• Pour the batter onto the baking sheet.
• Bake for 12 minutes until the cake is set.
• Lay out a kitchen towel and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
• Once the cake is done, invert it onto the towel, remove the parchment, and lift the towel to roll the cake into a log. The towel will wrap into the cake.
• Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to cool.
• Place the cake on the counter and unroll.
• Place ice cream scoops on the cake in an even line, starting with chocolate, then the strawberry and vanilla.
• Smooth each line of ice cream out, being careful not to mix the flavors.
• Tightly roll the cake back up, this time without the towel.
• Freeze the cake for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
• Place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl.
• Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
• Place the cake on a rack set over a baking sheet.
• Pour the ganache over the cake in an even layer.
• Place cake in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until the ganache is set.
• Enjoy!

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.
