How to Prepare S’mores Ice Cream Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Middle Layer:

Once your first hour is up, make the sauce by boiling one cup water.
Add cacao, dates, boiling water, and olive oil into a blender and mix everything well. You may want to leave a little water and oil if you want a more fudgy consistency.
Pour this chocolate layer over graham cracker layer and leave some aside to drizzle over the top.
Place the cake back into the freezer for another hour.

To Make the Top Layer:

After your second hour is up, it’s time to make the ice cream layer. Place your ice cream ingredients into a blender and mix them well. The consistency should be thick but still runny.
Pour this over top the fudge layer and let the ice cream cake sit, overnight, in the freezer.
When you’re ready to serve, take your leftover fudge, warm it up a bit, and drizzle it over the top of your cake.
