    What You Need

    This Raspberry Meringue Ice-Cream Cake is so simple to prepare using just 5 ingredients:

    Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Icecream, raspberries, grated milk chocolate and mini meringues on a bench
    • vanilla ice-cream - I like to use Bulla or Peters ice-cream but any vanilla ice-cream will do.
    • frozen raspberries - available from the freezer section of any major supermarket or grocer.
    • grated chocolate - I like to use milk chocolate in this recipe but you could use white, or even dark chocolate, if you prefer.
    • mini meringues - I use store bought mini meringues in this recipe. You could use crushed meringue nests or larger meringues if you can't find these smaller ones.
    • white chocolate Ice Magic - if you can't find Ice Magic, then melted white chocolate will work equally as well.
    • decorations - I like to use a mixture of fresh raspberries, mini meringues, chocolate Lindt balls and silver edible balls to decorate this cake. However you can mix and match with any of your favourite chocolates and fresh fruit.

    Step By Step Instructions

    With just a few simple ingredients, you can have this delicious dessert ready to go in no time at all!

    Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Soften The Ice-Cream

    Place the ice-cream into a large bowl and allow to sit for a few minutes to soften (but not melt).

    Place into the freezer until completely set.

    Step 3 - Decorate

    Decorate using white Ice Magic, fresh raspberries, Lindt Balls, mini meringues and silver balls (or any chocolates and fresh fruit you like).

    Expert Tips and FAQ's

    I can't find White Chocolate Ice Magic

    No problem! If you can't find this product, then just melt 150g of white chocolate and pour over the ice cream cake instead. (Note: Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly before pouring over so that it doesn't melt the ice cream cake).

    How do I serve this ice-cream cake?

    Once the ice-cream cake is out of the freezer, it is important to decorate and serve immediately. Place any leftovers straight back into the freezer so that it doesn't melt too much.

    Do I need to use Lindt Balls?

    No, Maltesers or any other chocolate ball would work just as well.

    What do I line the sides and base of the tin with to stop it sticking?

    There are two different simple ways to do this. You can either heavily butter the base and sides of the tin or fully line the tin with cling wrap. I prefer to line the tin with cling wrap as this allows you to easily pick up and remove the cake from the tin once frozen.

    How do I remove the cake from the tin to decorate and serve?

    When removing the cake from the tin, leave it on the bench for a couple of minutes and then rub your hands over the base and sides to loosen (the heat from your hands will help with this). If you have used butter, then tip the cake upside down onto a flat serving plate. If you have used plastic wrap, pull the overhanging sides gently and lift the cake from the tin and place on the serving board. I like to put the cake back into the freezer for ten minutes at this point, but this is optional.

    Removing plastic wrap 'wrinkles'

    If you have used cling wrap/plastic wrap to line your tin and don't like the wrinkles that it has created, you can simply run a hot flat knife around the outside to smooth them out.

    Storing

    Keep any leftover ice-cream cake frozen in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
