Ingredients

1/2 ga Vanilla ice cream
1 quart Chocolate ice cream
1 pint Orange sherbet
1 pint Lime sherbet
1 pint Raspberry sherbet
1 1/2 cup Whipping cream
1/4 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 Egg Whites, stiffly beaten
2 cup Crushed sugar wafers

Directions

1
Line the bottom of a 10-inch angel food cake pan with wax paper and place in the freezer to chill thoroughly.
2
Ensure all ice cream and sherbet varieties are frozen solid for easy scooping.
3
Using a small scoop or spoon, form the vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, orange sherbet, lime sherbet, and raspberry sherbet into small bite-sized balls.
4
Arrange the scooped balls on a cookie sheet and return to the freezer until firm.
5
In a large bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
6
Gently fold the sugar and vanilla extract into the whipped cream.
7
Carefully fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the whipped cream mixture to lighten it.
8
Remove the chilled pan from the freezer. Spread 1/2 cup of the crushed sugar wafer crumbs evenly over the bottom.
9
Spread a thin layer of the whipped cream mixture over the sugar wafer crust.
10
Arrange a mixed layer of the frozen ice cream and sherbet balls over the cream.
11
Spoon more whipped cream mixture into the spaces between the balls to fill gaps, then sprinkle with more sugar wafer crumbs.
12
Repeat the layering process (cream, ice cream balls, crumbs) until the pan is filled and all ingredients are used.
13
Cover the pan tightly and freeze overnight, or for at least 8 hours, until completely solid.
14
To serve, run a warm knife around the edge of the pan. Invert onto a chilled serving plate and remove the wax paper.
15
Optional: Soften 1 quart of vanilla ice cream and spread it over the top as a frosting, then freeze briefly to set.
16
Sprinkle additional crushed sugar wafers over the top for decoration.
17
Let stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes until it reaches the consistency of thick cream cheese, then cut into wedges.
