Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake – A Trio of Irresistible Flavors

First, bake a dense brownie layer that serves as the cake’s base. Alternatively, consider making an Oreo crust for a no-bake dessert. Once the brownie cools, spread a layer of smooth homemade chocolate ice cream over it. After freezing the chocolate layer until slightly firm, add a refreshing layer of homemade strawberry ice cream, followed by another round of freezing. The final layer, a creamy homemade vanilla ice cream, tops the cake, creating a visually stunning dessert.

The brownie’s deep chocolate flavor and texture perfectly balance the lightness of the ice cream layers, making each bite a delightful contrast of textures and tastes. Garnishing the cake with fresh strawberries and chocolate candies adds an extra touch of indulgence.

How to Make Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Cocoa Brownie

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and line an 8-inch (20cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together egg and sugar until well combined, then incorporate oil and vanilla extract.
3. Sift in the flour, salt, and cocoa powder, and whisk until fully incorporated.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. Let the brownie cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Strawberry Sauce

1. Combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan and place over medium heat.
2. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
3. Remove from heat, sieve to remove seeds, and allow the sauce to cool completely.

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Ice Cream Layer

1. For the chocolate ice cream layer, whip cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Mix in sweetened condensed milk, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
2. Transfer the cooled brownie onto a serving platter, place a cake ring around it, and line with an acetate sheet. Pour the chocolate ice cream mixture over the brownie, smooth the top, and freeze for 1-2 hours until slightly set.

Step 4: Prepare the Strawberry Ice Cream Layer

1. Whip cream in another large bowl until stiff peaks form, then combine in sweetened condensed milk and the cooled strawberry sauce.
2. Pour the strawberry ice cream mixture over the frozen chocolate ice cream layer, smooth the top, and freeze for another 1-2 hours until slightly set.

Step 5: Prepare the Vanilla Ice Cream Layer

1. For the final vanilla ice cream layer, whip cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Mix in sweetened condensed milk, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
2. Pour the vanilla ice cream mixture over the strawberry layer, smooth the top, and freeze for 6 hours or overnight to set completely.

Step 6: Decorate the Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake

1. Finally, decorate the cake. Remove the cake ring and acetate sheet, then top the cake with fresh strawberries, chocolate candies or shards, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
