Daim & Ice Cream Cake

Makes: Serves 12 to 14

I get asked a lot. “What’s your favorite cake?” Well, it’s the Daim (yeah, like the candy from Ikea) ice cream cake! Now, here’s the story behind it. Back in the '70s, my mom made this amazing version. We didn’t have Daim candy then, so she got creative and used crushed meringue cookies with a mocc a flavor. And trust me, it was delish!

The base of this cake is a super gooey almond layer. When you freeze it, it gets even gooier. But what really sets this cake apart? It’s topped with homemade vanilla ice cream that you can whip up in minutes, infused with a generous amount of vanilla bean paste. You know how vanilla always makes everything even more delicious? This is no exception! And that coffee flavor? It just takes everything to the next level taste-wise. Coffee really enhances the entire experience. Then add in the crushed Daim or the crushed Mocca meringue cookies… It’s just magic.

Every time I make it, folks always want the recipe. Seriously, I’ve had so many of y’all tell me it’s the best ice cream cake you’ve ever tasted.

This is THE cake for my birthdays and for my kids’ birthdays too. If you’re gonna try any cake recipe from me, start with this one. I bet you’ll love it as much as I’ve loved it all these years. Happy baking, y’all!”

With love from Norway.
