Method
- 1
Soften. Let 950 ml orange sherbet and 950 ml vanilla ice cream stand at room temperature while you prepare the base.
- 2
Base. Cover the base of the springform tin with the vanilla wafer biscuits, breaking some to fill any gaps.
- 3
Dollop. Drop small, alternating spoonfuls of sherbet and ice cream over the biscuits at random, pressing down gently with the back of a spoon and tapping the tin on the worktop to knock out air and fill gaps.
- 4
Swirl. Level the surface, then press the back of the spoon in and lift it up and out in circles to create swirls and peaks.
- 5
Freeze. Cover and freeze for at least 2 h.
- 6
Release. Rub the side and base of the tin with a warm damp tea towel, release the ring and move the cake to a plate to serve.
Storage
Keep the cake covered in the freezer for up to 1 week.
