A Red White And Blue Ice Cream Cake that actually holds its shape. Built with smart layering, make-ahead timing, and tested shortcuts so you avoid melting, uneven layers, and messy slices.
Blueberries, raspberries and/or sprinkles, for decorating (optional)
Instructions
Prepare cake mix in 13 x 9-inch pan per package instructions. Allow to cool to room temperature completely, then cover and freeze at least 1 hour.
Allow ice cream to sit at room temperature 20 to 25 minutes or until soft and spreadable. Spread ice cream in even layer over cake. Cover and freeze at least 1 hour.
Place cream in bowl of stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Whip at medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Reduce speed to low and gradually add powdered sugar until all sugar is incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and continue whipping until medium peaks form. Add food coloring and vanilla and mix until well combined.
Spread whipped cream in even layer over ice cream. Cover and freeze at least 1 hour.
After it's fully frozen, allow the cake to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes for easier slicing. Decorate with berries or sprinkles, slice, and serve.
