Ice Cream Sandwich Swirl Cake

Instructions

• On a large cutting board, lay out 9 slices of bread in a 3x3 (7x7 cm) grid. Brush the melted butter where the bread slices will touch, then overlap the bread pieces until you have one large square of bread.
• Cover with another cutting board and a heavy pan to weigh it down and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan and cutting board and roll the square with a rolling pin to flatten.
• Pour half of the hazelnut spread on the sheet of bread and spread evenly, leaving a 1-inch (1 cm) gap around the edges.
• Starting at the bottom, carefully roll up the bread to form a log and wrap in plastic wrap.
• Using the remaining 9 slices of bread and remaining hazelnut spread, make another log.
• Freeze for 20 minutes.
• Slice the chilled logs into ½-inch (1 cm) thick rounds. There will be about 18 slices per log.
• Place the rolls from 1 log in a parchment-lined 10-inch (25-cm) springform pan. Slice any extra rolls into smaller pieces to fill in the gaps between the whole rolls.
• Place a sheet of parchment on top of the rolls and use a smaller cake pan to press the rolls together, creating a compressed layer. Remove the cake pan and parchment and freeze until solid, about 1 hour.
• Scoop softened ice cream on top of the rolls and spread evenly. Freeze until solid, about 1 hour.
• Add another layer of rolls from the second log on top of the ice cream layer, filling the gaps with smaller pieces of rolls again. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top and use the smaller cake pan to compress the rolls. Remove the pan and parchment and freeze for another hour.
• Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve.
• Enjoy!
