Categories     Dessert

Time 6h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pint raspberry sorbet
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 pint blueberry ice cream
Whipped cream, berries, sparkler candles, if desired

Steps:

  • Spray 8-inch round cake pan (or springform pan) with cooking spray; line with a parchment paper circle on bottom and parchment paper strips around side.
  • Soften raspberry sorbet at room temperature about 10 minutes or until just spreadable. Spread evenly in bottom of pan; place in freezer for about 1 hour or until firm.
  • Repeat this step with vanilla ice cream - the idea is that the white is in the center of the red and blue - freeze again until firm, and finish with the final layer of blueberry ice cream; freeze the whole cake for several hours - at least 4 - until very firm.
  • Once the entire cake is firm, gently lower the bottom of the pan into a bowl of warm water to loosen the parchment paper and lightly melt the edges of the ice cream cake. Place a cake plate over the top of the pan. Gently turn the cake pan and plate upside down, and shake gently to loosen. It should plop onto the cake plate. OR, if you use a springform pan, gently release the form (after dipping in warm water to loosen), and place the cake onto a cake plate, while leaving the springform base in place for easier transfer. Either serve immediately, or refreeze the whole cake until ready to serve. Decorate with whipped cream, berries and sparkler candles.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the cake pans
One 15.25-ounce box red velvet cake mix (plus required ingredients)
27 rectangular ice cream sandwiches
2 cups very cold heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon blue gel food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
Silver star sprinkles, for decorating

Steps:

  • Grease two 9-inch square metal cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare and bake the red velvet cake in the greased cake pans according to the package instructions. Cool the cakes in the pans on wire racks for 15 minutes, then unmold the cakes onto the racks and let cool completely. Trim off the tops of the cakes to yield two 1/2-inch-high cakes.
  • Arrange 9 of the ice cream sandwiches into a 9-inch square on a platter, trimming the sandwiches as needed to form the square. Top with one of the cake layers. Arrange another layer of 9 ice cream sandwiches on top of the cake layer. Repeat with the remaining layer of cake and 9 ice cream sandwiches. Chill in the freezer while you prepare the topping.
  • Combine the cream, sugar, food coloring and vanilla if using and beat until stiff peaks form. Using an offset spatula, generously frost the cake on all sides with the whipped topping. Decorate the cake with sprinkles as desired. Place in the freezer until ready to serve.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE ICE CREAM CAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING



Red, White and Blue Ice Cream Cake With Whipped Cream Frosting image

Such a pretty cake and so easy to make. Everyone raved about it, but as a warning when making, be sure to take the cake out of the freezer at least a half hour before trying to cut and freeze as the cake layer freezes HARD!! Prep time does not include time to soften ice cream. When it came to frosting, I was worried about having enough for decorating so doubled the frosting amount and while I had a lot left over, don't think it would have been enough for frosting and decorating without it

Time 43m

Yield 1 8" Cake, 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup salted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg whites
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon water
blue gel food coloring
1 1/2 quarts vanilla ice cream, X2
red gel food coloring
1 teaspoon plain gelatin
1 tablespoon cold water
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • CAKE:.
  • reheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Prepare an 8 inch cake pan with a circle of parchment paper in the bottom and grease the sides.
  • To make the cake batter, beat the sugar and butter together until light in color and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Don't skimp on the creaming.
  • Add the sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
  • Add the egg whites and mix until well combined.
  • Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl, then add half of the dry ingredients to batter and mix until well combined.
  • Add the milk and water and mix until well combined.
  • Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  • Spread the cake batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs. Set the cake aside to cool.
  • When the cake has cooled, lined two 8 inch cake pans with clear wrap that covers the bottom and sides of the pans.
  • Remove the dome from the top of the blue cake layer, then place it in the bottom of one of the cake pans.
  • Soften the cartons of ice cream. I let mine sit out for about 15-20 minutes, then added all but about a quarter of the ice cream to a large bowl. Use a rubber spatula to stir it well until it all comes together to a consistency similar to soft serve ice cream. Add half of the ice cream to another bowl and set it in the freezer for a few minutes while you work with the other half.
  • Add the white vanilla ice cream to the top of the blue cake layer and spread into an even layer. Set the cake/ice cream in the freezer to freeze completely.
  • Remove the remaining half of the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and color it with red gel icing color.
  • Add the ice cream to the other prepared cake pan and spread into an even layer. Freeze until firm.
  • Once both ice cream layers are firm, remove the blue cake layer/white ice cream from its pan and place on a cardboard cake circle or serving platter. Keep in mind that it will need to fit in your freezer.
  • Remove the red layer from it's pan and set on top of the white ice cream layer. Place cake back in the freezer.
  • STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING:.
  • Add gelatin to cold water in a bowl.
  • Set this over a saucepan with boiling water until the gelatin is clear.
  • Cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile whip the cream until it is medium thick.
  • With the mixer still on, pour gelatin into the center of the cream.
  • Continue to whip. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Continue whipping until cream is in soft peaks.
  • At this point you can add food coloring, keeping half white and half red.

Tips:

  • For a smoother ice cream cake, make sure the ice cream is softened before spreading it onto the cake layers.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round cake pan. Just make sure to line the pan with parchment paper so the cake doesn't stick.
  • To make the ice cream cake ahead of time, assemble it and freeze it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it thaw in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before slicing.
  • For a fun and patriotic presentation, decorate the ice cream cake with red, white, and blue sprinkles, whipped cream, and berries.

Conclusion:

This red, white, and blue ice cream cake is a perfect way to celebrate Independence Day or any other patriotic holiday. It's easy to make and always a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you're looking for a festive and delicious dessert, give this ice cream cake a try.
