For any summer holiday, such an ice cream cake will be a pleasant treat.

How to cook Melon ice cream cake

Step 1

First prepare a few melon balls with an ice cream scoop for decoration.

Step 2

Grind crackers to fine crumbs in a blender. Grind softened butter with crumbs.

Step 3

Melt chocolate in a water bath, cool and add cognac. Mix with crumbs - knead the dough and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 4

Grind the melon with an immersion mixer. Next, beat the cream separately, add condensed milk and melon mousse to them - the cream is ready.

Step 5

Now we will prepare a detachable form, with a diameter of 22 cm and cover it with cling film. Put the prepared dough into the form. Raising the edges of the dough, we make the sides. Pour the melon cream into the mold, cover with a film and put it in the freezer for 4-5 hours.

Step 6

We take out the finished cake from the freezer, remove the ring from the mold and cut into portioned pieces with a hot knife.

Step 7

Serve garnished with melon balls, sprinkled with coconut or garnished with mint sprigs.

Melon ice cream cake - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different fruit instead of melon for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute melon with other soft fruits like mango, peach, or berries. Just ensure they are blended to a smooth consistency for the mousse.

How long can I store the melon ice cream cake in the freezer?

The cake can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.

Is there a vegetarian alternative to gelatin in this recipe?

Yes, you can use agar-agar or pectin as a vegetarian gelling agent. Adjust the quantity as per the package instructions.

Can I make this cake without alcohol?

Absolutely! Simply omit the cognac. The cake will still have a delicious melon flavor without it.

How can I make this recipe low-carb?

Replace the crackers with almond flour or coconut flour for the crust, and use a sugar-free sweetener instead of condensed milk in the mousse.

What’s the best way to slice the cake cleanly?

Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry before each cut. This ensures smooth, clean slices without sticking.

Can I use whipped cream instead of condensed milk in the mousse?

Yes, whipped cream can be used for a lighter texture, but the sweetness may need adjustment. Add powdered sugar to taste if needed.

Can I make this cake in individual servings?

Yes, you can layer the crust and mousse in small jars or ramekins for individual portions. Freeze as directed.

Can I add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture?

Absolutely! Chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips can be mixed into the crust or sprinkled between layers for added crunch.
