Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Cake Layers:
2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, divided
1.5 quarts vegan vanilla ice cream, softened
1/3 cup raspberry jam
To Decorate:
Fresh raspberries and blueberries
Optional: Vegan whipped cream or edible flowers
Instructions
Prepare the Loaf Pan:
Line an 8-inch (20 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides to easily lift the cake out later.
Make the Raspberry Ice Cream Layer:
Add the raspberries and half of the lemon zest and juice to a food processor. Process until as smooth as possible.
Add 1/3 of the softened vegan vanilla ice cream to the food processor and pulse until fully combined.
Spread the raspberry mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the layer. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
Make the Vanilla Ice Cream Layer:
Spread 1/3 of the softened vanilla ice cream directly over the raspberry layer. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Drizzle the raspberry jam over the vanilla layer and gently swirl it with a knife for a marbled effect. Freeze for another 30 minutes.
Make the Blueberry Ice Cream Layer:
Add the blueberries and the remaining lemon zest and juice to a food processor. Process until as smooth as possible.
Add the remaining softened vanilla ice cream to the food processor and pulse until fully combined.
Spread the blueberry mixture evenly on top of the vanilla layer and smooth the surface.
Freeze the Cake:
Cover the top with plastic wrap or foil, and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until the cake is fully set.
Decorate and Serve:
Once the cake is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a serving plate.
Decorate the top with fresh raspberries, blueberries, and optional vegan whipped cream or edible flowers.
Slice and Enjoy:
Slice with a sharp knife, running it under warm water between cuts for clean slices. Serve immediately!
Notes
Make sure to freeze the cake for enough time to set properly.
Feel free to customize with different berries or add-ins like granola or crushed nuts for extra texture.
