Ice-Cream Filling

This filling is best made the same day as assembly. It can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead and held at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Re-whip briefly before using if it has deflated slightly.

Once assembled between cake layers, store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. The filling will remain stable but may become slightly firmer when chilled. Bring to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best texture.
