No Bake Ice Cream Cake Recipe {Dairy Queen DIY}

July 4, 2015 by Wendy

No Bake Ice Cream Cake Recipe {Takes 10 Minutes & Costs $4}

If your family loves ice cream like mine does, or if you’re a big fan of Dairy Queen or Baskin Robins birthday cakes, this ridiculously easy, fast and cheap DIY ice cream cake will be your new favorite!!

Price breakdown: Why spent $25-$35 for an ice cream cake?  Even at Walmart an ice cream cake costs $10 – $30 or more!

  • 12-pack of ice cream sandwiches: $3.88
  • non-dairy whipped topping: $0.10
  • chocolate syrup: $0.10
  • cake board: I made my own, or you can use a plate!
  • total = $4.08

Not bad for a cake that serves 12!  Much better than paying $30 at Carvel, and you can customize your cake in a zillion different ways!

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 the ice cream sandwiches (that part took the longest!) and arrange them on a plate or cake board. Add a center layer (if desired) – I used caramel and chocolate topping.  Then add a top layer and “frost” with non-dairy whipped topping (such as Cool Whip).  Add whatever treats to the top (I drizzled caramel on it) and serve!

Store in the freezer until ready to serve. I usually prepare it right before serving, but it will keep nicely in the freezer.

Tip: use a sharp knife (be careful!) and rinse in HOT water between cuts to slice through the ice cream easier.
