Peach Melba Ice Cream Cake

Serves 8     20 minute prep + 5 hrs of chill time

1 ring shaped angel food cake (about 13 0z)                                1 pint frozen raspberry sherbet, slightly softened

¼ C raspberry pie filling

FRUIT TOPPING:

2 med. sized fresh peaches, cut into small chunks      1 C fresh raspberries          ½ C raspberry pie filling

1.       Place the cake, top side down, on a plate. Using a long serrated knife, slice a ½ inch layer from the top of the cake, lift the slice off in one piece and reserve.

2.       Using a small serrated knife, cut a trench in the cake ½ inch in from the inner and outer edges to within a ½ inch from the bottom. Carefully remove the center without breaking through the bottom or sides.

3.        Spoon 1 cup of the sherbet into the trench. Spread evenly with the back of a spoon, around the trench. Drizzle with the pie filling and top with the remaining sherbet. Replace the reserved cake top onto the cake and gently press down.

4.       Freeze for 1 hour, then wrap loosely and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

5.       Make the topping: In a med. bowl, gently mix the peaches, raspberries, and pie filling.

To serve, remove the cake from the freezer and invert it onto a serving plate. Spoon the topping into the center and serve right away.

*I added about a cup of blueberries to the fruit mix cause everything is better with a blueberry on it!
