Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Jump to Recipe

This Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwich Cake is a beautiful and simple dessert that will always steal the dinnertime show. 

 

This strawberry ice cream sandwich cake is made from layers of rice crispy treats and strawberry cheesecake ice cream. The cake is decorated with swirls of whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

Life has been busy.  Very busy.  Jonathan and I are preparing for three trips to four states in two weeks. We are also buying our first house and packing in preparation for moving day.  When life gets this crazy we have to make sacrifices but we are careful to protect the time we sit down together as a family to share dinner.  This is my favorite time of the day!

This summer one of the treats we are enjoying with family dinner is this simple and delicious strawberry ice cream sandwich cake.

How to Make Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

This cake is really simple to put together. Make layers of ice cream and freeze in cake pans.  Make layers of rice crispy treats in cake pans.  Put it all together and pretty it up a bit!

Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwich Cake is a beautiful and simple dessert that will always steal the dinnertime show.

 

The result was a fun Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwich Cake.  Chewy and creamy  – full of one of my favorite ice creams.  Watching Jack try to figure out how to eat it without getting brain freeze was the perfect end to a lovely family dinner.

Can’t get enough great fruit this spring?  Give this elegant Red White and Blue Fruit Salad a try.  It is a runaway hit!

This patriotic fruit salad is full of our favorite berries and thick homemade whipped cream. It is the perfect treat for a BBQ, picnic, or brunch.

Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwich Cake is a beautiful and simple dessert that will always steal the dinnertime show.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 12
Author Mirlandra Neuneker

Ingredients

  • 6 cups of Signature Kitchens® Crispy Rice Cereal
  • 6 Tbsp. salted butter
  • 1 bag of Signature Kitchens Mini Marshmallows 10.5oz
  • 2 cartons Signature SELECT™ Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream 1.5 quart size
  • Fresh strawberries and whipped cream to garnish if desired

Instructions

  • Prepare two 9” cake pans by lining with wax paper or parchment paper.
  • Take one large square of the paper and press into each pan so the pans are lined with additional paper hanging over the edges. You may butter the paper for easier release if you like.
  • Measure the cereal and set aside.
  • In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl combine the butter and marshmallows. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until melted. Whisk the mixture together until smooth.
  • Stir in the cereal and divide evenly between the two cake pans. Butter your hands or a spatula and use to press the mixture flat.
  • Cool in the refrigerator for a few minutes until firm.
  • When firm, use the corners to lift the cereal layers out and set back in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the cake.
  • Use a large square of plastic wrap to line the cake pans again with the corners hanging over the edge.
  • Put 1 carton of ice cream in each cake pan: place scoops evenly in the pan and use a spoon to firmly press the ice cream down until you have formed one even layer. The cake pan will be about half full. Freeze the ice cream layers until they are solid and you are ready to serve the cake.
  • When Ready to Serve: Peel the plastic wrap off one of the layers of ice cream. Place on a platter to form the first layer. Peel the paper off of the cereal layer and place it on top of the ice cream. Repeat with the next layer of ice cream and then the next cereal layer.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and fresh strawberries as desired.
  • Cut into wedges and serve right away or freeze up to 30 minutes before serving.
  • Tip: This cake is best served right after assembly. It is harder to eat if it has been frozen solid for many hours.

    I adore this photo. It looks like something to serve a fairy princess. The subtle strawberry flowers around the base add the perfect touch. I’m not exactly a fairy princess, but I love a good strawberry cheesecake ice cream and I am very eager to try this cake.

    I’ve been following your moving adventure on Facebook. That’s what convinced me to look at this recipe. I know you are too busy for anything too fussy right now. Your cake looks delicious and I think my girlfriends will love it when I have them over. And, I’ve never heard of cheesecake strawberry ice cream. I will find it this week. It sounds like a perfect flavor combination!
    Thanks for sharing this recipe.

    Congratulations on reaching 150,000 followers on Pinterest! This cake would be the perfect way to celebrate – there’s just an extra special creaminess to Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream that I bet goes great with the crunchy rice cereal. Do you remember when Albertson’s had that Candy Bar ice cream? I thought that was about the best in the world. Have you ever tried making this cake with a chocolate ice cream?

    My two favorites: Rice Crispy treats, and ice cream!!!! Yaaaaay! I’ve already sent your cake to a woman who can’t have wheat with a birthday tracking her down! lol.

    You’re going to have content on Facebook, and I’m not on Facebook. Is there an alternate way to view this? Are you going to put it on YouTube (I hope)?

    Thanks for all you share, Mirlandra!

      Wonderful! I’m so glad she will have something great to enjoy. Birthdays without wheat can be rough 🙁

      The long term plan has been to make more polished videos that are hosted here on the blog (like the Margarita ones). The ones I’m doing on FB are more casual and I use them as a place where readers can ask me questions while I’m cooking. However, your question is making me think about the options! I’m going to talk to Jonathan (he is my tech guru) and see what we can pull off. I did do some quick research just now and it looks like I can download the live videos off of FB and put them elsewhere. Now I just need to figure out our options on this end. Maybe we can fit it into the big redesign! Thanks for the suggestion and for popping in to say hi!!!
