I LOVE the look of ice cream cakes with the different colours. However the artificial flavours in the commercial cakes I'm not all that keen on I have to say. I LOVE Fruity Dream (which is just frozen fruit whipped in the Thermomix) - so healthy too! I decided why not - I could try and make an ice cream cake using Layered Fruity Dream! It worked perfectly and I was just so excited! I have made it a number of times since, using different fruits. One of my biggest surprises was when I used green grapes the layer was completely white! Hence the term white grapes I guess! Another surprise too for me was when I made it with banana and it didn't go brown! :)
I'd love you to let me know what kind of fruit layers you decide to do!
ThermoFun – Layered Fruity Dream IceCream Cake
Ingredients
- 180g raw sugar
- 350g frozen strawberries
- 350g frozen oranges
- 350g frozen mixed berries
- 3 egg whites
Instructions
- Place sugar into TM bowl and mill 20 sec / speed 9. Set aside.
NB: you need 60g per layer (or less if you wish) - but it is easier to mill it all in one hit while you have a clean dry bowl. - Place 60g of the sugar that you have just set aside into TM bowl.
- Add frozen strawberries (or fruit of your choice) and chop 10 sec / speed 8. Scrape down.
- Insert Butterfly. Add 1 egg white and mix 45 sec / speed 4 or until you have a soft consistency.
- Pour first layer into a cheesecake spring form tin.
- Flaten the mixture with the spatula.
- Place tin into freezer for 30 mins.
- Repeat the same for the next two layers (remember to place into freezer each time for approx. 30 minutes). This will just make it easier to pour the next layer on.
- Freeze for a few hours before required.
TIP: before you unclip the springform tin to open it - go around the edge of the tin with a knife to loosen away from the tin.
Notes
ANY frozen fuit can be used for this - you are only limited by your imagination!
I do know of people using a tin lined with Glad Wrap if you don't have a spring form tin

Has anyone tried this without the sugar or an alternative like maple syrup? Is the sugar necessary to hold it together or is it just for added sweetness? Thanks in advance!
Susan says
Has anyone tried this with some
Kind of chocolate added?
Jolene says
I have a two year old that has just discovered icecream, this sounds like a great alternative. Can you use egg white powder in the layered dream icecream cake? I'd rather not serve raw egg whites to a little one.
thermofun says
Sorry Jolene I've never tried egg white powder. You can leave the egg white out I believe.
Tessa says
Love the passionfruit on top, did u put on and freeze it or just before serving?
Making this for xmas day desert, thinking mixed berry, mango and pineapple with the passionfruit on top.
Cant wait to make it tomorrow :) Thankyou!!!
thermofun says
Hi Tessa, I really don't think it would matter either way with the passionfruit. From memory though I think I did it prior to freezing. :)
Jessica says
Do you think I could make these in icy pole moulds? (would it hold?)
Thanks
thermofun says
Yes Jessica it should do. :)
Stefanie says
I made this for my Hubby on Valentine's day and we both loved it, will definitely be doing this again. I used watermelon, mango and strawberry, although I made the mistake of putting the watermelon level on the bottom, because it was slightly more watery than the other layers, part of it leaked out the bottom of my tin as it was setting. I don't think that would be an issue if it was the middle or top layer in the tin
Kay says
Just wondering how long this can be kept in the freezer. Would it be ok if frozen for 24 hours before it was served?
thermofun says
Yes absolutely it will be fine! I've keep mine (left overs) for a few months and its still perfect! Just keep it covered in the freezer.
Kay says
Wonderful! Thanks for the quick reply.
Jude says
That's genius! Can't wait to try it!
Karen says
Made this last night for NYE- went down a treat, kids came back for seconds. I did strawberry, banana & mango :-)
thermofun says
oh I've done a banana layer too before Karen! I was stoked that the banana didn't go brown! :)
