How to Make Chocolate Amaretto Ice Cream Cake

  1. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together the amaretto and melted chocolate until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, gently fold in the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Layer half of the chocolate ice cream in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spread half of the chocolate-amaretto mixture evenly over the ice cream layer.
  5. Repeat layers with remaining ice cream and chocolate-amaretto mixture.
  6. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
  7. Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to slightly soften. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
  8. Garnish with chocolate shavings, amaretto soaked cherries (optional), or fresh berries before serving.
