July 19, 2020 By Dana Vento Leave a Comment

Easy Ice Cream Cake from Front It’s sweltering outside.

Maybe it’s snowing?

Either way, you are craving ice cream and cake! 

In about 5 minutes you can create a decadent easy ice cream cake with simple ingredients. 

You don’t need to be a pastry chef to make this recipe. 

All you need is a stop at your local grocery store and 5 minutes. 

In any event, you can make this decadent easy ice cream cake as big or small as you want. 

Think leftovers! 

For that reason, it is really important that you make a little room in your freezer. 

After all, easy ice cream cake is better than anything else you have hiding in your freezer (unless it’s some frozen vodka, lol!)

Decadent Easy Ice Cream Cake with Simple Ingredients

A Cut of Easy Ice Cream Cake

What do you get when you take ice cream sandwiches and turn it into a dessert? 

An easy ice cream cake!

This is the most simple to make a dessert with outstanding results.

You'll be able to make this decadent easy ice cream cake with simple ingredients up to an hour before your guests arrive or a day before.

The ingredients are easy to find, and there is NO baking required, not even a brownie base!.

Perhaps best of all, you can make this whole dessert in about 5 minutes and it presents like it took hours.

Change up the flavors, ice creams, toppings to match your occasion.

Use this easy ice cream cake for birthdays, holidays, parties, celebrations, graduations, and any time you just want a really yummy treat.

While there is icing, you won't believe what kind!

So, for me, desserts are not about 3 million steps from start to finish. 

What about you? 

I have a life, with a job, 3 kids, and a cat, and if the dessert is not going to be able to be made in under 15, chances are it's not getting made in my house. 

However, I only make pretty desserts, that is desserts that present as 'visually pleasing to the eye.'

That said, this easy ice cream cake is a winner from start to finish and there's no baking required. 

Nope, not a layer of brownies or cake! 

As a result, this easy decadent easy ice cream cake makes an appearance in my home over and over!

Ingredients for The Super Easy Ice Cream Cake 

Easy Ice Cream Cake slicedAll in all, you can trade out any ingredient for the one you prefer. 

Remember, I post recipes that are versatile in nature. 

We all have our own tastes. 

If you are reading my recipes, know that I respect that and hope that you change it up to suit your tastes! 

To that end, if you do, leave me a comment and tell me what your twist so I can add that to my post with credit to you! 

Toppings and Icing 

A Cut of Easy Ice Cream CakeI used whipped topping for this recipe. 

However, you gotta make sure that it is defrosted properly (in the fridge and whip it a bit with a fork before you use it). 

Again, you can use all the different flavors of whipped topping, just make sure the flavored toppings jive with the flavors of the ice cream. 

Caramel sauce in my opinion is a must on any and every one of these super easy ice cream cakes. 

Easy Ice Cream Cake side viewNaturally, I chose the easy way and bought the pre-made in the ice cream aisle. 

I could have made it, but, I just like to keep this easy ice cream cake, simple and fast! 

Also, I used Magic Shell Chocolate, because it freezes hard without freezing and is even better frozen.

Don’t forget the sprinkles, because a cake is not a cake without the fanfare of sprinkles. 

Did I mention you could make this all sugar-free too by using the sugar-free sauce and sugar-free ice cream sandwiches? 

Containing the Super Easy Ice Cream Cake 

Ice Cream Cake sliced and closeI recycle a lot of my containers, whether for gardening or shipping leftovers and in those cases, for making my ice cream cake. 

Since this ice cream cake was for a party of 5, the plastic, lidded container that held mini croissants from Walmart worked perfectly. 

Remember, you will make the cake about an hour before (at least) or a day ahead and let it in the freezer to set up again! 

Ice Cream Sandwiches 

Ice Cream Cake sliced and closeHere’s where you get to go crazy, choose the flavors of ice cream sandwiches you love. 

For me, it was all about the unicorn ice cream sandwiches and the cookie ice cream sandwiches. 

In any event, it is critical to constructing a cake that does not slide to lay one layer horizontal and the next layer vertically. 

Keep your whipped topping in the refrigerator until it’s time to prep this. 

Stacking The Ice Cream Cake 

Ice Cream Cake as a whole cakeUse any ice cream flavors you can find, and then you will place a layer of ice cream sandwiches down. 

Then top the sandwiches with cool whip. 

Next a squeeze of whatever toppings you are using, caramel, chocolate, fudge, butterscotch, etc. 

ice cream cake up close with chocolateIf you are dropping on some chips, do it now. 

Now it’s time for the next layer of ice cream sandwiches vertically stacked. 

And repeat the whipped topping, sauces and chips (chocolate) if you have opted to use them. 

Do this one more time, and then once you spread the whipped topping across the top of this layer, follow it through on the sides of all the cake. 

Drizzle with your chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and sprinkles. 

Return this to the freezer and serve it frozen. 

Allow this to freeze back up for at least ONE hour before serving or up to a day ahead! 

Keep any leftovers frozen and covered. 

Enjoy!  ~ DANA XO 

I can’t wait to see what you do with your version of my recipe.
