American Flag Ice Cream Cake

Directions

1. You’ll need the outer ring of a 9-fling springform pan, ideally 3 inches sizable. If it isn’t, tape an extender “ring” out of parchment or wax paper and stable it to the upper edge of the pan.
2. Assign the ready pan on a small baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Be obvious it suits (with out anguish) into your freezer—you’ll be out and in a lot.
3. For even layers, exercise an ice cream scoop to rely the likelihood of scoops for every layer. Repeat that identical quantity when you occur to realize the next. I exercise a medium ice cream scoop to dollop 9 scoops of ice cream into the irascible of the ready pan, then exercise a small offset spatula to spread the ice cream into an very most keen layer. Freeze unless agency, 20-30 minutes.
4. Scoop the identical possibility of strawberry scoops over the agency vanilla layer and spread into an very most keen layer. Freeze unless agency, 20-30 minutes.
5. Repeat this direction of: Any other layer of vanilla ice cream, freezing unless agency, then a layer of strawberry ice cream, and freeze unless agency.
6. Next, it’s essential to set up a ring of blueberry ice cream round the exterior, leaving the heart empty for added vanilla and strawberry layers later. Essentially the most keen manner to realize right here’s the usage of the outer ring of a smaller springform pan (ideally 6 inches). It’s most likely you’ll possibly well possibly also moreover set up a non eternal border out of tinfoil—exercise it to retain the heart naked whereas you place a blue ring of ice cream round the periphery.
7. Scoop the blueberry ice cream into the pan, and spread into an very most keen 2-fling broad layer round the exterior edge. The blueberry layer must be almost twice as sizable as old layers (I historical the identical possibility of scoops for the irascible layers as I did for the blueberry ring). Freeze unless agency, 20-30 minutes.
8. When the blueberry layer is agency, gently draw again the records—you would possibly per chance possibly want to practice a small amount of warmth to get the records to attract again cleanly. A kitchen torch is at hand right here, or exercise your right hands (or a warm kitchen towel)!
9. If the cake wants to be chilled again, take a seat again it unless agency. If now not, practice one more layer of vanilla, this time right sooner or later of the outer blue ring. You’ll need fewer scoops (I historical 4). Sustain observe of the quantity so that you are going to be in a position to repeat it with the leisure layer of purple. Freeze unless agency, 20-30 minutes.
10. Add the leisure layer of strawberry, the usage of the identical possibility of scoops you doubtlessly did for the vanilla in the leisure step (I historical 4). Freeze unless agency, 30 minutes to an hour.
11. Seize the outer paper ring, if the usage of. Care for the cake up (including the springform ring) and peel the parchment paper preserving the pan faraway from the irascible of the cake.
12. While the cake is peaceable in the mildew, transfer to a cake stand or platter.
13. To make a selection the dear cake ring, you’ll need to practice a miniature bit warmth. Again, you are going to be in a position to exercise a kitchen torch (the most keen!) or a towel warmed in particularly warm water (wrap it round the ring and let it take a seat for 10-15 seconds, repeat as wanted). As soon as the ring is warmed, loosen the springform buckle, then hump the ring up and off the cake. Return the unmolded cake to the freezer.
14. For the frosting, whip cream and powdered sugar to medium peaks with an electrical mixer and whip attachment. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
15. Frost the performed ice cream cake generously with whipped cream, the usage of a small offset spatula to shape swirls. Freeze for 15 minutes again before reducing and serving.
