No-Churn Amarula Ice Cream Cake with Malted Chocolate Balls

Maltesers, Whispers, Whoppers – malted chocolate puff balls have many names, but I have a special place for the ones we call Chuckles here in South Africa. Mainly because the 40g suggested portion size Woolies has placed on the packet makes me (quite appropriately) LOL for dayz. Do you know how much 40g is?! Not nearly enough.
The most difficult part of making this cake is chopping the malty chocolate balls in half. Warning: they do NOT like being chopped – I had quite a few runners who tried to escape the wrath of my knife. They of course didn’t escape the wrath of being eaten though! Mwahaha.
 
Note: I give an amount of malty chocolate balls in the ingredient list, but of course, you need to buy double – if you need to know why, then we can’t be friends.
 
You may also leave out the Amarula; I would replace it with some Milo or hot chocolate powder (Nesquik!) dissolved in a bit of milk. I poured my ice cream mix into a fancy silicone bundt mould, but let’s be honest here, no one will actually care what it looks like once they taste it because all you REALLY need is a spoon!

No-Churn Amarula Ice Cream Cake with Malted Chocolate Balls

Serves 6-8

 

600ml fresh cream

60ml (1/4 cup) Amarula (optional: use Milo or Hot Chocolate mixed in 60ml milk)

1/2 (400g) tin condensed milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

100g The Kate Tin Dark Baking Chocolate, melted and cooled

100g malted chocolate puffs, halved plus extra to decorate

 

Amarula Chocolate Sauce

55g The Kate Tin Dark Baking Chocolate, chopped

60ml cream

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp Amarula

1 tsp vanilla extract

 

Whip the cream until stiff peaks then add the Amarula and whip until combined.

Fold the condensed milk, vanilla and chocolate into the whipped cream.

Pour into a lined cake tin or silicone mould, sprinkling in the halved chocolate malt puffs as you go. Freeze for 4-5 hours (or overnight) until firm.

To make the sauce, place all the ingredients in a jug and microwave until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

Unmould the ice ceam cake by briefly dipping into water and unmould it onto a chilled plate. Serve drizzled with the sauce and sprinkled with the malt puffs.

    Choc balls – use a pill/tablet cutter (get it from your local chemist), to cut that balls in half. Quick and easy.
