Cake and Ice Cream

That sounds good. Those are three things that I like and why not make them one delicious thing. Do you like strawberry shortcake snack cakes?
I don't like snacky cakes so much any more. But there was a time when I was younger, and Little Debbie and me were great homies.
 
Anybody else love these?

I really don't I have a taste for them much anymore, only from time to time. This is more my style. I paid about $16 the other day for three kiwis, an avocado, a mango, some fresh broccoli and red bell pepper, and a box of pineapple and watermelon. Also some tajin chili and lime seasoning for the mangoes and avocado.

If I am eating watermelon, there had better be hot sauce and sea salt!
 
I often separate foods that normally come together, but cake and ice cream is alright with me.
 
I am with you! Cake and ice cream are entirely separate desserts. For me, it is not only a textural mismatch, but also, a temperature mismatch. Room temperature cake and cold ice cream. Yuck.

Yeah. I have to agree on both fronts. The odd contrast in temp does make it weird. Also soggy cake from melting ice cream is just off putting.

Do you like tiramisu?

I can't say that I've had that.

What about ice cream sandwiches? Is that not the perfect cake to ice cream ratio

Ice cream sandwiches are fine. They just are tricky to eat straight out of the freezer.

I like cake, I like ice cream, but I don't like ice cream on cake.

Now ice cream on pie, that's different.

I couldn't agree more about ice cream on pie. That's honestly the only thing I really enjoy mixing ice cream with. Otherwise it has to be on it's own.
 
Tiramisù is a layered no-bake dessert consisting of ladyfingers soaked with coffee and rum, then layered with a whipped mixture of sugar, eggs and the creamy, sweet mascarpone cheese sprinkled with cocoa.

I don't like ice cream with anything, except perhaps an ice cream cone (for tradition's sake). For me, the problem is three-fold.

1. The texture of anything covered with ice cream is weird, I don't like it. It also just... doesn't taste as good as when it's by itself. This goes for pie as well. Cake and ice-cream are both great. Why mix them?

2. The temperature contrast bothers me, which also leads into point three.

3. I don't like melted ice cream. I would much rather my ice cream be solid, and I always try to eat ice cream as quickly as possible before it melts, and start with the melty parts before they melt farther. I don't like milk or cream which might be connected. I also dislike the mess an ice cream makes on a plate. This also goes for ice cream cake and ice cream sandwich. Ice cream Mars or Snickers is alright however as the ice cream part is contained, and you can easily eat it without the ice cream melting.

Edit: I also don't like tiramisu. Both the texture and taste feel a bit weird to me. I never knew what it was made of (thank you @Patrick Bushdiecker!) and I think it's due to the ingredients. I have no idea what ladyfingers is, but I dislike rum, coffee and cream cheese. Cocoa doesn't do much for me by itself. I categorize tiramisu as "adult food" along with quiche (which I hate) and pralines, which isn't a compliment.

I love tiramisu.

My recipe is a bit different. I bake a white cake in three layers. One layer has added coffee to it.

The fillings are mascarpone cheese, kahula, coffee, and whipped cream.

I also love ice cream and will eat it with anything else.

Baked Alaska is a treasure of contrasts. Angelfood cake is filled with ice cream, then covered with meringue and baked hot and fast.

I only tried tiramisu one time when I was working in an Indian restaurant as a dishwasher. I take the low jobs so I can get the scraps. They are quite tasty. But seriously it was probably the best thing I ever had. I also worked in a Brazilian restaurant... as a dishwasher. And they had some really good food there too. The best thing was called feijoada. It is a black bean stew.
 
Do you like waffle cones, or whatever this thing is:View attachment 102472
When I said "ice-cream cones" I meant waffle cones, but just misremembered the names. I don't like very cheap ones like this however, as they are quite bland. I've enjoyed some handmade ones in the past, but it isn't a requirement. The mass produced ones also get soggy, while in my experience, the more expensive ones tend to be hard even when the ice cream is melting against it.
