Why I Love This Easy Ice Cream Cake

• Customizable: Swap the strawberry ice cream for your favorite flavor.

• Crowd-pleaser: It’s a hit with both kids and adults.

• Quick to make: Minimal effort, maximum reward!

What You’ll Need

• Graham cracker crust or pre-made cookie crust

• Strawberry ice cream

• Fresh strawberries

• Whipped cream or whipped topping

• Optional: chocolate syrup or sprinkles for garnish

How to Make Strawberry Ice Cream Cake

1. Prepare the crust: If using a pre-made crust, remove it from the packaging. For a homemade crust, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and press into a springform pan.

2. Layer the ice cream: Let the ice cream soften slightly, then spread an even layer over the crust.

3. Add the toppings: Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

4. Freeze: Place the cake in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until firm.

5. Serve: Slice and enjoy!

Chef’s Tips and Variations

• For a firmer cake: Freeze the layers separately for 30 minutes before assembling.

• Mix it up: Try adding a layer of crushed cookies or a drizzle of fruit puree.

• Dietary options: Use dairy-free ice cream and whipped topping for a vegan version.
