Notes

Ensure Proper Cake Texture: When making the cake portion of the ice cream, be sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly to achieve a smooth batter. Microwave the cake in a greased mug for the specified time, ensuring it cooks evenly. The texture of the cake should be moist and springy, providing a delightful contrast to the creamy ice cream.
Attention to Magic Shell Preparation: When preparing the magic shell, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in short intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval until smooth. Be cautious not to overheat the mixture, as overheating can cause the chocolate to seize. A smooth and well-mixed magic shell adds a deliciously crunchy layer to the ice cream.
Layering and Topping Technique: When assembling the ice cream layers in the loaf pan, ensure even distribution of the crumbled cake and magic shell drizzle between layers of the cream mixture. This creates a balanced distribution of flavors and textures throughout the ice cream. Additionally, gently press the Crunchkins onto the top layer to ensure they adhere well and provide a crunchy topping after freezing.
