Today is my Hubby’s birthday and I used his favorite ice cream to make him a Birthday Ice Cream Cake. It was super easy and no baking required! All you need is ice cream, cookie crumbs, plastic wrap, a bowl, and a freezer.
Hubby’s Birthday Ice Cream Cake
Ingredients:
1 pint pistachio ice cream, softened
1 pint chocolate ice cream, softened
1 box vanilla wafer cookies, crushed
Directions:
1. Lay two sheets of overlapping plastic wrap inside of a small mixing bowl. Fold the excess plastic wrap over the edge of the bowl. This will act as a handle to help you remove the cake from the bowl when it is frozen.
2. Spoon the pistachio ice cream into the bowl about one-third of the way up.
3. Cover the ice cream with a layer of cookie crumbs.
4. Cover the cookie crumbs with a thin layer of chocolate ice cream.
5. Cover the chocolate layer with cookie crumbs.
6. Use the remaining pistachio ice cream to completely fill the mixing bowl to the top.
7. Freeze your ice cream cake for approx. 4 hours.
8. Dip the outside of the mixing bowl in hot water for a few minutes to help release the cake.
9.Gently pull the edges of the plastic wrap to release the cake from the bowl. Invert the mixing bowl onto a serving platter, and then remove the bowl and the plastic wrap from the cake. Voila!
10. Decorate with icing, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream.
11. Enjoy!
La Bonne Vie!
