Ice cream cake

A food mashup classic.

The rise of foodie culture and its prevalence on social media has given birth to the phenomenon known as food mashups. The cronut and ramenburger are just the palatable tip of the iceberg with even more ridiculous combos lurking in the depths of the culinary abyss. Some of them become worldwide internet sensations, while others only enjoy mild popularity in blogs and subreddits. The basic premise of awesome food mashups – fusing two or more food items to form a Voltron of deliciousness – only takes you so far it seems. By now the urge to one-up one another in the creation of yet another headline-making creation has definitely died down, making it easier for the tried and tested classics to shine again. Let’s take ice cream cakes for example. A luxurious and highly addictive combination, that has for decades brought joy to kids – and adults – all over the world. Here’s how you can make one at home.

Enjoy your meal!
