It’s getting HOT out there. Time for some cool and refreshing summer treats. Let’s try this homemade iced cream cake.
How To Make A Very Simple Homemade Iced Cream Cake
Now, there are a million and one ways to make an iced cream cake. You can use actual homemade iced cream or you can use store bought. The flavor is also totally up to you.
I personally don’t like iced creams as much that have nothing in it like plain vanilla or chocolate. Instead, I picked Ben and Jerry’s, “Half Baked”. It is a chocolate and vanilla base with chunks of brownie batter and chocolate chip cookie dough. Absolutely delicious.
When it comes to toppings, you can use anything you like, Oreo crumbs, M&M’s, cool whip, whipped cream, caramel etc.
I used a Carvel iced cream cake as my inspiration for this. So I chose oreo crumbs for a little bit more crunch and also some cool whip. No frosting over the top though.
Once you have all your components, it’s just a matter of layering. I did not take a picture of this but in between the cool whip and Oreos in the middle and the top but I just added a layer of iced cream before I added the top layer of cool whip and Oreos. Then stuck it back in the freezer overnight.
Pans For Homemade Iced Cream Cake
For this homemade iced cream cake, I used a square springform pan. You can use another pan but a springform pans work great because you can take off the sides, eliminating your need to transfer the cake. This is good because frozen treats are pretty fragile. I used a 6 inch springform pan for this but you can use any size that you would like.
And that’s it! That’s how to make a refreshing and decadent homemade iced cream cake. Leave me a comment for any questions that you might have and also let me know your favorite Father’s Day Treats.
