2 sheets butter paper
1 litre pack vanilla icecream
1 cup canned cherries drained
1 cup fresh strawberries cleaned & chopped

Run cake & biscuit crumbs, butter, cocoa, sugar in mixie for a few seconds. They should just mix well, do not overbeat or it will form a lump.

Spread 1/2 mixture on top of ice cream wafer layer. Press down gently and evenly.

Of the remaining make 4 equal sections along length of horizontal block. Place carefully over crumb base. Spread out cherries over icecream layer. Sprinkle some leftover crumbs on them.

Place next layer of icecream over it. Spread orange segments and sprinkle some crumb mixture.

Place next layer of icecream over it. Spread strawberries and remaining crumbs mixture. Place final layer of icecream over it.

Arrange remaining icecream wafers to cover top of icecream.

Place one more strip of butter paper over it to cover wafers.

Set in freezer for 2-3 hours till well combined.

To serve:

Remove upper layer of butter paper.

Place a serving long dish over mouth of box. Invert with a quick motion.

Hold side strips down with both hands. Or keep weights to hold them down.
