Ingredients
Strawberry Sauce
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries, chopped, 3 or 4 reserved for garnish
- 2/3 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, optional
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 quart ice cream or frozen yogurt
- 2 7-ounce packages crunchy ladyfingers
- 3/4 cup crumbled amaretti and/or chocolate wafer cookies
- 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
- To make Strawberry Sauce: Combine strawberries, orange juice, sugar, vinegar, if using, and 1/2 cup water in medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and cook over medium-low heat 7 minutes, or until strawberries are soft. Dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup water, and stir into strawberries. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes, or until mixture thickens, stirring often. Transfer to blender, and puree until smooth. Cool.
- To make Cake: Remove ice cream from freezer to soften while preparing ladyfingers. Dip 12 ladyfingers in strawberry sauce until softened. Cut in half, and use to line inside rim of 9-inch springform pan, standing ladyfingers vertically, edge to edge, rounded tops up.
- Dip and cut 12 more ladyfingers in half diagonally, and fit in bottom of springform pan, laying ladyfingers side by side, pointed ends toward middle, like spokes in a wheel. (Refit any broken ladyfingers.) Spread half of ice cream over bottom layer of ladyfingers. Top with half of Strawberry Sauce.
- Repeat layering with remaining ladyfingers, ice cream, and Strawberry Sauce. Top with crumbled cookies and slivered almonds.
- Wrap Cake in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and freeze at least 4 hours.
- To serve: Remove from freezer, release springform rim, and let Cake stand 10 minutes. Dip large knife in hot water; wipe dry, then slice into 12 wedges.
