How to Make It
- Bake your chocolate cake—either from scratch or using a box mix (or make mini individual cakes for a fun twist).
- Let the cake cool slightly before slicing it into squares or serving it as a whole.
- Scoop a generous portion of ice cream and place it on top of your warm chocolate cake.
- Top with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and any garnishes you love (like sprinkles, fresh berries, or chopped nuts).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Pro Tips
- Warm cake, cold ice cream: The magic happens when the warm cake melts the cold ice cream just slightly, creating the perfect balance.
- Layer it up: Add a scoop of ice cream between layers of cake for an extra indulgent treat.
- Make your own ice cream topping: If you’re feeling fancy, make a chocolate ganache or caramel drizzle to pour over the top for a restaurant-style touch.
- Get creative with flavors: Use fun ice cream flavors like mint chocolate chip, strawberry, or even pistachio for a unique twist.
Perfect Pairings
This dessert is heavenly all on its own, but you can elevate it even further by pairing it with:
- A cup of freshly brewed coffee or hot cocoa for a warm, comforting finish.
- A fruit salad or a scoop of sorbet for a refreshing contrast.
- A side of chocolate-dipped strawberries for extra indulgence.
