Preparation

Step 1

For the ice cream cake:

Place a large bowl and beaters or whisk attachment into the freezer to chill for about 10 minutes.
Line an 8-inch springform pan with plastic wrap (you can use a 9 inch pan if that's all you have, but cake will not be as tall).
Combine the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt in the chilled bowl, and using the whisk attachment of a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the cream to stiff peaks.

Carefully pour the sweetened condensed milk and melted butter into the bowl, then gently fold into the whipped cream. Then quickly and gently fold in the sprinkles.

Spread the ice cream evenly in the prepared pan and freeze for several hours, or until firm.

After cake has been in the freezer for at least 2 hours, prepare the chocolate frosting.

For the frosting:

In a heatproof mixing bowl set over a simmering pot of water, melt the butter and chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth.

Remove from the heat, cool slightly, and then place the bowl in the refrigerator until solid, about 20 minutes.
Remove bowl from refrigerator and allow to come up to room temperature.
Using a hand mixer, beat on medium until light and fluffy.

Remove cake from the freezer; quickly unmold and place on a serving plate. Frost evenly with the chocolate frosting. Decorate with additional sprinkles, if desired.

Return to freezer to firm up the frosting until ready to serve.
