Preparation time: 20 minutes
Freezing time: 5-6 hours
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:
- 2-3 packets of ice cream powder (choose a flavor you like)
- 200 ml of milk for each packet
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 apple, diced
- Berries (blackberries, raspberries, currants, blueberries) - your choice
- 1 sprig of fresh mint for decoration

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ice cream
Start by preparing the ice cream base. In a large bowl, add 200 ml of milk for each packet of ice cream powder. This step is essential as the milk will help to homogenize the mixture, giving it a creamy texture.

2. Mixing the ingredients
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture for about 10 minutes. You will notice how the mixture becomes thicker and fluffier, just as good ice cream should be! Make sure not to leave the mixer unattended to avoid splashing milk.

3. Adding the fruits
Once the mixture is well homogenized, add the sliced fruits: kiwi, apple, and berries. They will not only bring a burst of color but also a fresh and invigorating taste. Gently fold with a spatula to avoid crushing the fruits.

4. Initial freezing
Pour the mixture into a cake mold or a container that you can cover. Place it in the freezer for about 2 hours. This step will help to initially firm up the ice cream, preparing it for decoration.

5. Decorating the cake
After two hours, remove the ice cream cake from the freezer. Use whipped cream to decorate the surface, creating an elegant look. Then, carefully place the remaining fruits on top for a stunning visual effect.

6. Final freezing
To achieve the perfect texture, return the cake to the freezer for another 3-4 hours. This will allow the ice cream to firm up well, getting ready to be served.

Serving
When you are ready to serve the dessert, take it out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. This will make the slices easier to cut. You can accompany the ice cream cake with slices of watermelon or caramelized fruits for a contrast of flavors and textures.
