Couple days back, we all (mom, two sisters, myself & maha) went to our favorite vegetarian restaurant Arya Bhavan for dinner. We ordered chilli parota, paneer pulav, chilli gobi, chinese noodles & paper roast. It was all delcious and finally we came to my favorite part of the meal "DESERT". My sister ordered cassata icecream and i went for a butterscotch milkshake. My sister got her icecream first, and i got the spoon from her and had a bite straight away and it was so yummy. I called the waiter and cancelled my milkshake and ordered cassata. YES I DID!

Notes
2)You can use any number of flavors in icecream. But use minimum of three flavors for best taste.
3)You can soak the cake with any fruit juices too instead of simple syrup.
4)You can top it with any nuts too.
5)Chill it very well before serving, overnight is preferred.
