Recipe Ingredients

  • 2 x 750g SPAR Bakery round fruit cake
  • 1 ½ cups SPAR chocolate ice cream, softened
  • 1 ½ cups SPAR caramel ice cream, softened
  • 1 ½ cups SPAR vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1 ½ cups SPAR strawberry ice cream, softened
  • 3 SPAR Bakery fruit mince pies
  • Cup of SPAR Freshline strawberries and raspberries
  • 100g SPAR choc malt balls
  • 160g dark chocolate, melted.

Recipe Method

  1. Build up the sides of a 20cm spring form cake tin, by lining the inside with clear acetate plastic.
  2. Slice each fruit cake into 2 rounds
  3. Place the bottom layer into the tin.
  4. Spoon over the chocolate ice cream and top with another layer.
  5. Repeat with the caramel ice cream and the vanilla ice cream and end with the strawberry layer. You may have to freeze the cake in-between each layer of ice cream for an hour or 2 to avoid the cake melting.
  6. Freeze overnight
  7. Remove the cake from the tin and place on a serving plate. Drizzle over the melted chocolate and refrigerate for another 2 hours
  8. Remove from the fridge and top with mince pies, whipped choc malt balls, strawberries and raspberries.
  9. Serve immediately.

Hints & Tips

If the showstopper is too big to tackle, make the cake by slicing 1 fruit cake into 3 rounds and only use 3 flavours of ice cream.
