Christmas foodie goodies fatafat- Part 3


ICE CREAM CAKE IN A JAR

Desserts in a jar are a rage nowadays. And they make for great giveaways, especially when the dessert can be ready in 60 seconds. When Friends and family are more than full with the warm christmas party dinner, they can have the option of taking back a jar full of dessert that they may not be able to do full justice to! Pat comes out the icecream cake in a jar.
This recipe is an inspiration from Nigella Lawson's Ice cream that she expectedly whips up with express speed. I have changed a few ingredients and shifted the delightful experience into a jar.

All you need are some fresh fruit say bananas, straw berries (the fruit that goes well with chocolate), bashed-up Oreo biscuits, some nice chocolate syrup, a few tiny marsh mellows, and a rich chocolate sponge cake or loaf. Now, to a tub of vanilla ice cream, add all the above ingredients except for the cake. In a mason glass jar, place a layer of the dense chocolate loaf and then a layer of the rich ice cream that has the yummy Oreos and marshmallows in it and then put a layer of some of the diced fruit. Repeat the same layering until the jar is full. Top with chocolate-coated nuts if you wish. And yeah, the Christmas edible sparkle has to feature here as well :-)

Hot tip: While you are more than welcome to make a sponge, I would say don't break your back making the sponge from the start, just buy a good quality one and make this dessert. Theobroma and Moshe’s chocolate loaf is perfect for this recipe!!
