This is the first ever ice cream cake from Salt & Straw and they teamed up with The Rock for this awesome Dwanta Nice Ice Cream Cake. There is also the Dwanta Naughty Ice Cream Cake, but I got the Nice one only as they are super expensive. Yes, extremely expensive costing at $89 for each which with tax is just under $100.

Naughty and Nice 

  • Naughty – Caramel, Chocolate & Whiskey Ice Cream
  • Nice – Peanut Butter, Jam & Coconut Ice Cream

I purchased the Nice one because it is based on The Rocks favorite cheat meal. As a start, I figured I will go ahead and give it a try. I really wanted the Naughty one but hopefully next time around I will get it. I purchased it directly inside the store as they were sold out very quickly online. Once you walk in the store you pick up the cake from the freezer and that’s it. There is no cutting or anything as you can’t buy by the slice you could only buy the entire cake which is quick grab and go. With tax and $1 tip my price came to be $99.12 for just one cake.

Dwanta Nice Ice Cream Cake

Absolutely delicious which is in 7 layers, but the jam part of the ice cream cake starts to get annoying. The jam part is so sweet and there are two layers of it which I really think one would be enough as it is just super sweet. Let’s get to the ice cream layers:

  1. Candied coconut streusel kissed with sugar and spice
  2. Oregon marionberry jam
  3. Bananas Foster ice cream
  4. Peanut butter chocolate ganache
  5. More Bananas Foster ice cream
  6. More Oregon marionberry jam
  7. Coconut cake

Everything is perfect except that the coconut cake at the bottom is too thin which I think double the size would be better. And again, the jam is extremely too sweet and there are two layers of it. If those two layers are fixed everything would be perfect.

Quality 

Even though the price is to the moon I really think it’s worth it as the ingredients are cleaner than most. Sure, it costs about double or triple ice cream cakes than most stores, but the ingredients make up for it. Delicious from start to finish and happy with the purchase. Hopefully, next time around I can get the Naughty one.

The Taste

All of the 7 layers connect to one another in a matching way. The bananas in the ice cream are kind of silent and when mixed you just understand how evenly the taste becomes. The coconut on top has a baked taste that is very sweet but there is no spice taste. The coconut cake at ate bottom has a sweet coconut and vanilla taste and the chocolate ganache is just all over the ice cream cake. The ganache balances out the entire taste and mixes with all layers evenly and perfectly. I really think the ganache and jam makes the bananas silent in taste but deliver delicious flavor.

5 Stars

Love the container it comes in as it works as a cutting board for the ice cream cake. Even though it says it is for 20 people, I really think it is for 8-10 people. Regardless of that, 5 Stars Ice Cream Cake just not really that affordable.

Check out the Naughty as I just couldn’t resist anymore.
