Description

This Funfetti Ice Cream Cake is a delightful, no-bake dessert perfect for celebrations and summer treats. Featuring a crunchy chocolate cookie crumb crust, a creamy strawberry ice cream layer mixed with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles, and topped with more whipped cream and vibrant candies, it’s a festive and fun dessert that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Ice Cream Layer

  • 4 cups strawberry ice cream
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Topping

  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup Nerds candy (or your favorite colorful candies)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and place in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to set.
  2. Make the ice cream layer: In a large bowl, soften the strawberry ice cream until it is spreadable but not melted. Gently fold in 1/2 cup whipped cream and 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust in the springform pan.
  3. Add the topping: Evenly spread the remaining 1/2 cup of whipped cream over the ice cream layer. Sprinkle the top with additional rainbow sprinkles and Nerds candy to create a festive look.
  4. Freeze the cake: Place the assembled cake in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the cake from the springform pan and slice into 8 servings. Serve immediately for a refreshing and colorful dessert experience.

Notes

  • Make sure the ice cream is softened enough to spread easily but not melted to maintain layer structure.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cake without damaging the layers.
  • Feel free to substitute strawberry ice cream with other flavors to customize your cake.
  • The cake must be frozen completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and keep the layers intact.
  • Can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 days while maintaining quality.
