Baked Alaska with a biscuit base

For a tasty twist on this retro classic, make a biscuity base instead of a standard sponge. Just make in the same way that you would a cheesecake base.

Ice cream sandwich

Let's face it, there's no finesse when it comes to eating or preparing this tasty sweet treat. Simply scoop a generous portion of ice cream onto a Digestive biscuit, then place another on top. You can finish with another layer if you're feeling super greedy. Voila – an ice cream sandwich!
