If you want your Swiss roll ice cream to be more authentic like the one from Hudsonville ice cream, don’t use a rich premium ice cream. The store brand ice cream from Aldi or Walmart will do just fine for our purposes.
Here are the step-by-step instructions for how to make Swiss roll ice cream:
Chop one of the Swiss rolls very small. Put the chocolate cake pieces in a medium-sized bowl with the softened ice cream.
Add a squirt of whipped cream to the bowl, and gently stir the ingredients together. If the ice cream is too soft, put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm back up.
Cut the remaining Swiss roll into slices and use it as an ice cream topping. You can also top the ice cream with more whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
This gives you all the flavor of an ice cream cake roll recipe without the work of baking a Swiss rolls ice cream cake! Feel free to make different Swiss rolls ice cream flavors by (for example) substituting the chocolate ice cream for vanilla ice cream.
