Tiramisu Ice Cream Layer Cake

INGREDIENTS

500ML (1/2 Quart) STORE-BOUGHT VANILLA ICE-CREAM, SOFTENED
¼ CUP (60ML) COFFEE-FLAVOURED LIQUEUR
¼ CUP (60ML) STRONG ESPRESSO COFFEE, COOLED
12 SPONGE FINGER BISCUITS
500ML (1/2 Quart) STORE-BOUGHT COFFEE ICE-CREAM, SOFTENED
DUTCH COCOA, FOR DUSTING

METHOD

Line a 10cm x 21cm (4" x 8") loaf tin with non-stick baking paper and freeze for 10 minutes or until chilled. Spoon the vanilla ice-cream into the tin and, using a palette knife, spread into an even layer. Set aside in the freezer.
Mix the coffee liqueur and coffee together in a small bowl. Dip half of the sponge finger biscuits in the liqueur mixture and place on top of the vanilla ice-cream.
Spoon the coffee ice-cream on top of the biscuits and, using a palette knife, spread into an even layer. Dip the remaining biscuits in the coffee mixture and place on top of the coffee ice-cream.
Freeze for a further 2–3 hours or until firm. Carefully remove from the tin and dust with the cocoa to serve. Serves 6.
