Description

Semi-Homemade Ice Cream Cake. Looks impressive, but could not be simpler!


Ingredients

Scale

For Filling

  • 4 Cups Sliced Strawberries
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 3 TBS Lemon Juice

For Cake

  • 1 Pound Cake (I used a frozen pound cake, but can be fresh!)
  • 1 Pint Vanilla Ice Cream

For Frosting (Whipped Cream)

  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 TBS Powdered Sugar
  • 1tsp Vanilla 

Instructions

Strawberry Sauce

  • Add strawberries, sugar and lemon juice to deep saucepan. 
  • Heat on medium until it begins to boil. 
  • Reduce heat and simmer until thickened (usually 15-20 minutes). 
  • Remove from heat and cool in refrigerator.

Whipped Cream

  • Add cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to stand mixer with whisk attachment. 
  • Beat on med-high until stiff peaks form.
  • Set aside in refrigerator. 
  • (Can mix by hand, just keep whisking!)

Assembling Cake

  • Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap – make sure there’s plenty on the sides, this helps when you’re ready to get it out of the pan. 
  • Cut pound cake to fit into the pan (normally trimming the dark edges will accomplish this).
  • Then cut into thirds lengthwise.
  • Place a layer of pound cake in the pan.
  • Then add 5-6 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
  • Top with half of the strawberry sauce. (Make sure it is cooled!)
  • Set in freezer for 30 minute.
  • Repeat with remaining cake, ice cream and sauce, ending with the 3rd piece of pound cake. 
  • Cover with plastic wrap and set in freezer for 2-3 hours.
  • Once completely frozen, invert pan onto serving plate and remove cake. 
  • Carefully peel off the plastic wrap (if needed use a sharp knife to clean up edges).
  • Take the whipped cream and frost, then place back in freezer for about 20 minutes.
  • Garnish with berries and serve! 

Notes

  • You can use any fruit you like, fresh or frozen.
