How to Make Michael's Fabulous Chocolate Mountain Ice Cream Cake

  1. Prepare the chocolate cake according to the package directions. Let cool completely.
  2. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to help lift the cake later.
  3. Once the cake is completely cool, crumble it into the prepared pan, pressing it down to create an even layer.
  4. Spread half of the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the crumbled cake layer.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in half of the chocolate shavings and the optional chopped nuts.
  6. Spread the whipped cream mixture evenly over the ice cream layer.
  7. Spread the remaining softened chocolate ice cream over the whipped cream layer, smoothing the top.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate shavings over the top of the ice cream.
  9. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set completely.
  10. Once frozen, lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
  11. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream, if desired.
  12. Cut into squares and serve immediately. Enjoy!
