How To Be A Domestic Goddess... and buy stuff from 7-11

My inner Nigella Lawson emerges and was bound to do some kitchen therapy each time I pass by my mother's house during the weekends. At the expense of the fridge which is sacked with lots of ingredients waiting to be mixed and pleasured into waiting mouths or in this case mine.

 

I am undoubtedly selfish sometimes when making food and perhaps not sharing to my friends who most are in their zen-like nature not to make a deal about it because they can cook better than me. I decided to take a different turn; make something for both of us and a few of our relatives. One of my friends decided to make dinner and I was tasked to do desert. Apparently, there was a shortage of fruits and cream in our hefty pantry so I decided to go to the local 7-11 store and buy some vanilla ice cream. I decided to make some ice cream cake.

 

The ingredients are pretty simple to make and does require a strong hand to whisk the ice cream and later immerse in some de-stressing.

 

What you'll need, available in 7-11 as always:

1. A gallon of vanilla ice cream, or dairy based flavor, don't use fruity ones I'm afraid

2. A good box of chocolate candy bars, I used jumbo-sized Kit-Kats for this, choose anything you like

3. A good bunch of some chocolate chips used normally for endearingly sublime chocolate chip cookies

4. Honey roasted peanuts if you like

5. A steady hand and a rolling pin.

 

Put the chocolate bar of choice in a freezer bag and with much gusto smash them with the rolling pin until they are chunked, crumbled and delectably dusty. Make sure to soften the ice cream so after buying them from the store leave it to soften for 5 minutes. Once soften or if the ice cream melts into a creamy concoction and less firm, go ahead mix in the chocolatey goodies and the peanuts altogether. I am a creature of habit and I use the stand mixer my Mom left in the house, I know you don't have one so carefully fold the ingredients with a spatula. Get a standard size baking pan and carefully line some cling form both in the bottom and on the sides for some overhang, it also makes sure its easy to turn it over, believe me it works

 

Pour in the alchemized ice cream to the baking pan and leave it to set n the freezer for an hour or so to firm up. Immediately if not serenely serve the ice cream cake to the awaiting lucky people. Pour in some chocolate syrup if you have and enjoy the desert!
