To enjoy this ice cream cake, remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 to 20 minutes. This brief thawing period softens the ice cream just enough to make it easy to slice and serve. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to get clean cuts. Serve immediately after slicing to maintain its frozen texture. It is best enjoyed directly from the freezer.
