6. Spread the softened ice cream over the cake in 1 even layer.
7. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Let the cake stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
9. Whip the cream with the sugar in a chilled medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
