⭐ Tips for Best Results

  • Softened Ice Cream: Allow ice cream to soften slightly so it spreads evenly over the cake without melting.

  • Chill Cake First: Ensure cake is fully cooled before adding ice cream to prevent melting.

  • Serving Tip: Use a warm knife to cut clean slices.

  • Make Ahead: Assemble cake layers in advance and freeze; add hot fudge right before serving.
