Method

  1. Step 1

    Grease a 20cm (base measurement) square cake pan and line with 2 layers of plastic wrap, allowing the sides to overhang. Spoon the chocolate ice cream over the base of the pan. Smooth the surface. Top with one-third of the biscuits, trimming to fit. Freeze for 20 mins or until firm.

  2. Step 2

    Set the cookies and cream ice cream aside for 5 mins to soften slightly. Spoon over the biscuit layer in the pan. Smooth the surface. Top with half the remaining biscuits, trimming to fit. Freeze for 20 mins.

  3. Step 3

    Repeat with the vanilla ice cream and remaining biscuits. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight or until firm.

  4. Step 4

    Place the chocolate melts and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high for 1 min. Stir. Repeat, stirring every 30 secs, until sauce is smooth. Cool for 20 mins.

  5. Step 5

    Turn cake onto a serving plate. Unwrap. Drizzle with sauce. Top with the chocolate pretzels, popcorn bites, rocky road bites, Turkish delight, mini pretzels, marshmallows and plain popcorn. Serve immediately.
