Hello my Dearest Foodies,
Originally, I planned to make two mini cakes, but then I changed my mind, which was a huge mistake. Not that the cake isn’t delicious, quite the opposite, however, cutting it and trying to take photos was almost impossible lol. It was too frozen or it was melting, but no happy medium. That’s why I have only two photos. Oh well, the main thing is that this dessert is yummylicious, easy to make and cost effective.
I am also including my TIRAMISU MINIS RECIPE, to give you a better idea about the size of the mini cake forms, which I really think is the right size for this Ice Cream Cake.
