Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soften the chocolate and vanilla ice cream slightly so they are spreadable.
  2. Place Heath bars in the freezer for a few minutes, then crush them coarsely using a mallet or rolling pin.
  3. Press 1 1/4 cups of the crumbled macaroons evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch round springform pan to form a crust.
  4. Spread half of the chocolate ice cream evenly over the macaroon crust.
  5. Sprinkle half of the crushed Heath bars over the chocolate ice cream layer.
  6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup and 1 tablespoon of Kahlua over the chocolate ice cream.
  7. Cover the chocolate layer with the remaining 1 cup of crumbled macaroons.
  8. Spread the vanilla ice cream evenly over the macaroon layer.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Heath bars over the vanilla ice cream.
  10. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup and 2 tablespoons of Kahlua over the top.
  11. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until firm.
  12. To serve, run a warm knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
  13. Release the springform clasp and remove the sides of the pan.
  14. Transfer the cake to a serving platter and slice into wedges.
