Three Simple DIY Ice Cream Cake Formulas for Your Enjoyment
In the scorching heat of summer, there's nothing quite like a cool, creamy treat to refresh and delight. That's why we've rounded up three delicious mini ice cream cake recipes that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a party or simply want a fun, homemade dessert, these mini ice cream cakes are sure to impress.
The Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
For a fun twist on a classic, try our Ice Cream Sandwich Cake. This dessert is a layered masterpiece made with 8 ice cream sandwiches, whipped cream topping, crushed Oreos, and rainbow sprinkles. To make it, lay a large sheet of aluminum foil on a quarter baking sheet, arrange 4 ice cream sandwiches side by side, place another 4 on top, coat with whipped cream, garnish with crushed Oreos and sprinkles, freeze, and serve. If the ice cream begins to soften, simply freeze the cake until it's firm again.
Oreo-Crusted Ice Cream Cupcakes
These Oreo-Crusted Ice Cream Cupcakes are a delightful treat that's easy to make and even easier to enjoy. To create the crust, combine crushed Oreos and melted butter, then place cupcake liners in silicone baking cups or a cupcake tin, and press the crust mixture into the bottom. Fill the liners with softened chocolate and strawberry ice cream, top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles, and freeze. For a more compact crust, we recommend crushing Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor.
Basic Stacked Ice Cream Cake
If you're looking for a simpler option, our Basic Stacked Ice Cream Cake is the perfect choice. This dessert can be made with layers of the same ice cream, or you can get creative with different flavors. Each cupcake gets about 1/4 cup of ice cream. To serve, use a large, sharp knife to slice the cake, and wipe the knife with a damp cloth or paper towel before each slice.
No matter which recipe you choose, these mini ice cream cakes are a hit for any gathering. And the best part? They can be made in advance and stored conveniently in small formats, making them practical for serving and presentation. So why not give one of these recipes a try and indulge in a cool, creamy treat today?
