Easy Ice Cream Cake Recipe {Single Serving}
You love the Ice Cream Sandwich Cake, but don’t feel like making a whole cake? Make a single serving Ice Cream Cake! It’s much cheaper than Dairy Queen or Baskin Robbins birthday cakes, and it’s so easy! Give this DIY ice cream cake a try, and I bet it will be your new favorite!!
Don’t miss our No Bake Ice Cream Cake for birthdays and celebrations (and there’s reason to celebrate: it only costs $4 compared to $30!)
Get creative!! Crumble up Oreo cookies to make the crust, center or topping. Or, you can use your favorite cookie (Girl Scout cookies are great for this!} or candy bar. I used chocolate and caramel ice cream toppings, but you could use hot fudge, shavings from a chocolate bar – or even melt some white chocolate. Go with what your family loves, and this will be a huge hit!
Did I mention how easy this was to make? Just unwrap ONE ice cream sandwich, cut in half with a knife you’ve run under hot water, place on a plate and drizzle your favorite topping as a center layer (if desired) – I used caramel and chocolate topping. Add the second half on top and a dollop of non-dairy whipped topping (such as Cool Whip). Add whatever treats to the top (I drizzled caramel on it) and enjoy!
