Ingredients

• 1 litre vanilla ice cream
• 250 ml strong coffee, brewed with a Moccamaster
• 200 g dark chocolate
• 200 g biscuits (e.g. sponge cake or speculoos)
• 50 g butter
• 100 ml whipped cream
• 2 tbsp sugar

Requirements

• Moccamaster coffee maker
• Springform or cake tin (approx. 23 cm diameter)
• Baking paper
• Saucepan
• Mixing bowl
• Spatula

Method of preparation

Step 1: Making coffee with the Moccamaster

Start by brewing strong coffee. Use your Moccamaster to brew 250 ml of coffee and use one or two extra scoops to make it a little stronger. Let the coffee cool completely before continuing.

Step 2: Preparing the Cake Base

1. Put the biscuits in a resealable plastic bag and crumble them finely with a rolling pin. You can also use a food processor.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
3. Add the melted butter to the biscuit crumbs and mix well.
4. Line the bottom of the springform pan with baking paper. Press the biscuit mixture firmly onto the bottom of the tin. Place the mould in the fridge to stiffen.

Step 3: The Coffee Ice Cream Mixture

1. Melt the chocolate au bain-marie until the lumps are gone.
2. Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it stand for a few minutes to soften.
3. Add the cooled coffee to the soft ice cream and mix well with a spatula until everything is evenly mixed.

Step 4: Building up the cake

1. Remove the springform pan from the fridge and pour the coffee mixture over the biscuit base. Then add a layer of the melted chocolate, followed by another layer of coffee mixture. Repeat until the mould is filled and finish with a layer of coffee mixture.
2. Place the cake in the freezer and let it set for at least 4 hours, or until the cake is completely frozen.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy!

Make another pot of coffee with your Moccamaster, call your loved ones and enjoy this deliciously cooling cake together over a fresh cup of coffee. Tip: Take the cake out of the freezer a few minutes before serving to soften slightly, making it easier to cut. Cut the cake into nice points and serve immediately.

Enjoy this delicious coffee ice cream cake, a perfect treat to keep your head cool during the hot summer days! The rich coffee flavour combined with the creamy texture makes it an irresistible treat for any coffee lover.
