This show stopping dessert isn't hard at all and is lots of fun to make and assemble. The Jelly Roll recipe is from Joy of Cooking.
Jelly Roll
Whisk together in a bowl:
3/4 cup sifted cake flour
3.4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Beat in a mixer
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
Beat until pale and yellow. Slowly incorporate the dry mixture. Set aside. Beat in a mixer:
4 large egg whites
1/4 tsp tartar
slowly add:
1/4 cup sugar
Beat until stiff peaks form. Add some of the egg whites to the yolk mixture and stir to lighten the batter. Then slowly fold the rest of the egg whites in. Spread into a 10X15 greased, papered jelly roll pan 20-25 minutes. When done, let cool for a minute than invert onto a towel. Roll the cake up tightly and set aside to cool. When cool, carefully unroll and spread:
3/4 cup strawberry jam
Roll the cake back up and then roll in parchment paper to hole it until it sets.

Assembly:
Make the Jelly Roll, fill it and roll it up in parchment paper. Make the ice cream custards. Put everything in the refrigerator for at least eight hours or overnight. Put the honey ice cream custard in the ice cream machine. While it freezes, line a large bowl that you're using as a mold with plastic wrap. Slice the jelly roll-- you need to either slice it very thinly or make two of them. Arrange the jelly roll slices very tightly at the bottom of the lined bowl. Position a plastic container trimmed of rims in the bowl so that when the second flavor goes in it makes a pattern. Pour the first ice cream in when it's at soft serve consistency and freeze the mold overnight. Then make second flavor, remove the mold and pour the ice cream in. Freeze that overnight. Spread the praline paste on the base and freeze again. A couple of hours before serving, unmold and put in the refrigerator to enjoy. Slice with a sharp knife. Bon Appetit!
This would have been so much easier to remove had it been upside down. Note to self:
