Delicacies of Ice cream Cake

Ice cream or Ice-cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavours. Most varieties contain sugar, although some are made with other sweeteners. In some cases, artificial flavourings and colourings are used in addition to (or in replacement of) the natural ingredients. This mixture is stirred slowly while cooling to prevent large ice crystals from forming; the result is a smoothly textured ice cream.

The meaning of the term Ice cream varies from one country to another. Terms like frozen custard, frozen yogurt, sorbet, gelato and others are used to distinguish different varieties and styles. In some countries, like the USA, the term Ice cream applies only to a specific variety, and their governments regulate the commercial use of all these terms based on quantities of ingredients. In others, like Italy and Argentina, one word is used for all the variants. Alternatives made from soy milk, rice milk, and goat milk are available for those who are lactose intolerant or have an allergy to dairy protein, or in the case of soy and rice milk, for those who want to avoid animal products.

Ice cream cake is either ice cream in the shape of a cake or Ice cream and cake layered together to make a single form. The idea of Ice cream cake came from desserts composed of cream and cookies or cake called trifles, which first turned up in the Renaissance. Ice cream cake can be used for birthday cakes or, as has recently become en vogue among celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Britney Spears, at weddings.

Victorians made desserts called bombes, which consisted of Ice cream and fruit in fancy molds. Sometimes these desserts were lined with cake or biscuits. Ice cream cake recipes dating to the 1870s have also been found.

Today, Ice cream cakes are made in many Ice cream stores and in many different varieties, including tin roof pie. They come in a variety of flavors and styles. Ice cream cakes are primarily made by layering two different types of hard Ice cream, with soft serve acting as the "icing".  (en.wikipedia)
