Easy Berry Ice Cream Cake
Easy Berry Ice Cream Cake features a fudgy brownie base layered with vanilla and strawberry ice cream.
Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 prepared 8-inch brownie or individual brownie bites homemade or store-bought
Ice Cream Filling
- 1 liter vanilla ice cream softened
- 1 liter strawberry ice cream softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
Topping
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- Fresh mint leaves optional
Instructions
- Line a 9 × 5-inch loaf pan with two overlapping sheets of plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to lift the cake out later.
- Trim the brownie so it fits the bottom of the loaf pan, then press it firmly into place.
- Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the brownie layer.
- Freeze for about 2 hours or until the vanilla layer is firm.
- Spread the softened strawberry ice cream evenly over the vanilla layer.
- Gently fold or scatter the sliced fresh strawberries throughout the strawberry ice cream layer.
- Freeze for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until the Easy Berry Ice Cream Cake is completely firm.
- Lift the cake from the pan using the plastic wrap overhang.
- Top with frozen mixed berries and garnish with fresh mint if desired.
- Let the cake stand for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Chocolate ice cream can replace vanilla for a richer dessert.
- Add crushed cookies between the layers for extra crunch.
- Decorate with whipped cream just before serving if desired.
