This classic Canadian bar has been updated into the ideal summer dessert to celebrate our nation’s birthday. The chewy crust, creamy ice-cream and ganache topping are a perfect combination of flavours to end a summer backyard BBQ.

You’ll want to make this cake at least a day before you plan to serve it, as the ice cream needs to harden in the freezer for at least 12 hours before serving.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
