About

This makes a rather stunning cake, but you can make the ice creams and serve them individually or together in glasses or even cones. You will need a plastic mould, about 25 cm (10 in) long, 10 cm (4 in) deep and 10 cm (4 in) wide. If you do not have time to make the honeycomb, you can buy it instead.
