You can use any round or square tin as well.

Adding any alcohol into your no churn ice cream keeps it soft and creamy without it getting solidified rock hard in the freezer. You could use dark rum, vodka or any liqueur you prefer.

Start by adding 1/2 cup of the ice cream base into a a 9 inch loaf tin, spread it out. Soak a couple of the lady finger sponges into the cooled coffee and layer onto the ice cream base. repeat to create a layer of sponge. Dollop the coffee fudge sauce randomly on top of the soaked sponge fingers. Repeat with a layer of ice cream, soaked sponge fingers, fudge sauce. I like to create 2 layers of sponge and finish with the ice cream base. Cover with cling wrap and allow it to set in the fridge for 6-8 hours. Top the frozen tiramisu ice cream with whipped cream and a generous dusting of cocoa powder. Scoop and serve as you like.

Serving no churn tiramisu ice cream?

This ice is best served once you let it sit out for 15 minutes at room temperature as this helps it melt a little. It is best on its own but my dad loved it with more coffee (an coffee lovers here?). if the ice cream is difficult to scoop, make sure to dunk the scoop in hot water before scooping.

I like to place a generous piece of cling wrap on top of the ice cream before storing the leftovers in the freezer in the tin itself. It will keep for up to 2 months. I do not think it will last in your fridge for that long to be honest but hey who am I to judge that. If you store it in the fridge it will get very soft and after a couple of says the coffee will release liquid from the ice cream. Also ice cream is meant to be had frozen – incase you forgot.
