Madhuram,
You have a nice collection of eggless recipes. I am a vegetarian too and I love your blog. I am very much surprised to see a recipe with Jello on your blog. I hope you know that Jell-O is made of gelatin and is not vegetarian. You can find more about gelatin here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin

This is just a friendly note from a big fan of your blog. Thank you for the wonderful recipes.

Thank you very much for your concern Priya. As far as I know the Jell-O jelly crystals alone have gelatin and not the pudding mix. For the ice cream cake I have used the pudding mix only. Please feel free to let me know if my understanding is incorrect.

Hi Madhu
I saw this recipe long back and wanted to try it since then.. Last friday i baked some dates and walnut cake at home. The cake came out good in taste and texture but sank in the center. I now want to try this recipe of your which has been enticing me for a long time now. I had a few questions
1. Can I use my date and walnut cake instead of muffin crumbs. If yes, do i need to freeze the cake first so get the crumbs (dry/powdery) consistency? I have stored my cake in the refrigerator in plastic container right now.
2. Do you think i can use chocolate chip ice cream instead of vanilla as I have a big bucket of chocolate chip ice cream lying in my freezer for a long time now?

Hi Yojana, you can use any cake/ice cream combination. If you have cut the cake into pieces and its moist you can simply line the pan with the pieces without any gaps and start layering the ice cream. If you have not cut it and the cake is very moist I would suggest freezing it for an hour or so and then use a processor to get crumbs.

I got Readymade Graham Cracke crumbs. can i use those to form the bottom lining instead of muffin or oreo crumbs ?

Do I have to follow any special directions if use them like bake or freeze them separately ?

Deepa, if you are referring to only the crumbs then I would suggest you to add some melted butter to the crumbs, so that they hold together. Or you can use the ready made graham crackers or oreos pie crust which is also available in the baking aisle. If you are using the pie crust, you need not to do any other prep, simply start assembling the pudding and ice creams

Hi Madhuram

For this cake can we try with a ceramic ware instead of the metal bake ware ?

Deepa.

Deepa, check if the ceramic is freezer safe.

Madhu, I am curious what food processor you use! –Deepa

For this cake, I didn’t use a food processor. I crumbled the muffins in my Magic Bullet Blender. Recently I purchased Kitchen Aid’s 7 cup food processor, yet to use it though.
