8 hrsThis is the kind of dessert that makes the whole table gasp when you bring it out.
Scoops of vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, orange sherbet, lime sherbet, and raspberry sherbet get layered in an angel food cake pan with sweetened whipped cream and crushed sugar wafer crumbs.
Every slice reveals a mosaic of colors and flavors, from rich chocolate to tangy citrus to sweet berry.
No oven required. Just freeze it overnight, unmold, and watch everyone fight over the last wedge.
Pro Tips
- Scoop all the ice cream and sherbet balls onto a cookie sheet and refreeze them before assembling. Working with hard-frozen scoops keeps everything from melting into a puddle.
- Work quickly during assembly. If the scoops start softening, pop the whole pan back in the freezer for 15 minutes before continuing.
- Line the pan bottom with wax paper for easy unmolding. A warm towel wrapped briefly around the outside of the pan helps release it cleanly.
- Let the finished dessert sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before slicing. A knife dipped in hot water gives you the cleanest cuts.
