This cake has transformed over the years but can always be relied on for a simple, fast, and delicious cold treat! My favorite part about this cake is the fact that you can create your own flavors based on your favorite ice cream, candy, and cookies. Also, the size of it is easy to adjust based on the size of the crowd you are feeding.
We reach for this easy ice cream cake recipe for birthdays! It is just our family of four when it comes to “day of” celebrations and I can create the perfect size just for us.
Let’s get to the “how-to” portion of this blog entry. There is nothing I hate more than having to scroll through a long explanation to get to the recipe I am looking for!
How to create an Ice Cream Dump Cake…
You will need:
Ice Cream Sandwiches
Your favorite ice cream
Hot Fudge, Caramel, or favorite gooey topping
Favorite Whipped Topping
About a cup and a half of your favorite cookie crushed into small pieces
Your favorite candy to top everything off
How to:
Layer 1: Lay out your first layer of ice cream sandwiches.
Layer 2: Spread softened ice cream over the ice cream sandwiches.
Layer 3: Spread whipped topping over the ice cream.
Layer 4: Top whipped topping with crushed cookie and gooey topping.
Next, do it all over again starting with the ice cream sandwiches. As you spread the whipped topping make sure you cover the entire cake. After you have sprinkled the cookie and gooey topping over the top. Start to drop your favorite small candies over top of the cake. This can also be sprinkles or nuts.
This is also a super fun dessert to make with your kiddos!
