Prep Time: 40mins
Servings: 8
Cooking Time: 8-10 hrs (freezing)
Ingredients
  • 385g - condensed milk
  • 250ml - fresh cream
  • 250g - mascarpone
  • 5ml - vanilla essence
  • 150ml - espresso
  • 16 - finger biscuits
  • 5g - cocoa powder, for dusting
Method

Line a 25cm loaf tin with clingfilm.

1 Place the condensed milk and cream in a bowl. Use an electric mixer and whisk on high speed for 5 minutes until the mixture has thickened and increased in volume. Whisk in the mascarpone and vanilla essence. Pour one-third of the ice-cream mixture into the lined tin.

2 Pour the espresso into a shallow dish. Dip 8 finger biscuits into the espresso for a second or two on each side (no longer or they’ll disintegrate). Arrange the biscuits on top of the ice-cream layer in two rows of four.

3 Pour another third of the ice-cream mixture over the biscuits. Top this with another layer of 8 soaked biscuits. Pour the remaining ice-cream mixture over the top.

4 Cover the tin with clingfilm and freeze for 8-10 hours or until solid. 

5 Remove the tin from the freezer and leave to stand for 5-10 minutes. Carefully turn the ice-cream cake out onto a plate and dust with cocoa powder. Slice and serve.
