Preparing Chocolate Ganache:

1. Take the chocolate chips in a glass bowl.
2. In a sauce pan, take heavy cream and bring it to a boil.
3. Pour the heavy cream on the chocolate chips.
4. Add salt.
5. After a minute, whisk it thoroughly until you get a creamy chocolate ganache.
6. Set it aside to cool down little bit.

1. Crumble the cake and divide into 6 equal portions.
2. Tightly roll each portion into a ball. Keep them aside.
3. Scrape ice cream from the box using a spoon.
4. Before serving, cover each prepared cake-ball with scraped ice cream all around. Keep the ice cream covering as thick as you would like. Be quick so that the ice cream does not melt. Refrigerate the ice cream covered cake-balls immediately.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 until all the cake-balls are covered. Do not refrigerate for a very long time. See notes below.
6. Lay a bed of chocolate ganache in each dessert plate.
7. Take cocoa powder in a wide-bowl.
8. Roll each ice cream covered cake-ball in cocoa powder such that it is coats the ice cream all around.
9. Place each prepared ball on the bed of chocolate ganache.
10. Sprinkle some chocolate shavings on top of the ball, place some strawberry slices and fresh mint leaves.
11. Serve immediately.
