Almond and chocolate ice cream cake

Ice cream cakes are a great way to celebrate the seasonal highlights throughout the year. For this recipe, chef Ducobu created a deliciously classic combination of chocolate ice cream, almond ice cream, soft Italian meringue and crunchy nougatine. The shape and presentation of the cake can, of course, be adapted to fit the occasion or your preferred cake design.
