Ingredients:
– 1 quart of vanilla ice cream
– 1 cup of crushed chocolate wafer cookies
– 1/2 cup of raspberry jam
– Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer and let it soften slightly at room temperature. This will make it easier to work with.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate wafer cookies. These will add a delightful crunch and contrast to the smoothness of the ice cream.
3. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the Frozen Heaven out of the pan once it’s set.
4. Spread a layer of softened vanilla ice cream at the bottom of the pan. Make sure to spread it evenly for a uniform base.
5. Drizzle half of the raspberry jam over the ice cream layer. Use a knife to gently swirl the jam into the ice cream, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
6. Sprinkle a generous amount of the crushed chocolate wafer cookies on top of the raspberry layer. Press them gently into the ice cream for better adhesion.
7. Repeat the layers by adding another layer of vanilla ice cream, the remaining raspberry jam, and a final layer of crushed chocolate wafer cookies.
8. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer to set for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
9. Once the Frozen Heaven is fully set, remove it from the loaf pan by lifting the plastic wrap overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into thick, indulgent portions.
10. Serve your Frozen Heaven slices on chilled plates, garnished with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint for a touch of freshness.
