Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream Make sure it's halal-compliant.
  • 1 pint chocolate ice cream Ensure it's halal-compliant.
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies Essential for the distinct crunch.
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream Optional, for extra indulgence.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by crushing the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Set aside.
Layering
  1. In a springform pan or a rectangular dish, layer half of the vanilla ice cream at the bottom. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
  2. Next, layer half of the chocolate ice cream on top of the vanilla. Don’t worry if it gets a little mixed—the flavors will meld beautifully!
  3. Pour about half of the caramel sauce over the ice cream layers, then sprinkle half of the chopped peanuts over the top.
  4. Add the remaining vanilla ice cream, followed by the rest of the chocolate ice cream. Top this layer with more caramel sauce and the remaining chopped peanuts.
  5. Spread the whipped cream over the top layer. You can pipe it for a decorative touch or simply spread it evenly.
Freezing and Serving
  1. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until firmly set.
  2. When ready to serve, remove it from the freezer and let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften slightly before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

For a unique twist, consider swapping vanilla ice cream for another flavor. Work in a cool environment to prevent melting ice cream during assembly.
