00:00 Ice cream cake is the perfect treat for summer,
00:02 and this version is oh so easy.
00:04 Of course you can use whatever flavor you want.
00:06 I'm doing a chocolate ice cream cake
00:07 starting with chocolate box cake mix.
00:10 So you're just gonna prepare your cake
00:11 according to the package directions.
00:14 I love a box cake mix 'cause you don't have to worry
00:15 about wet and dry ingredients.
00:17 It all goes in at one time.
00:18 All right, after you've mixed your cake,
00:20 you're gonna choose the option for a nine by 13 pan.
00:23 This makes it for easy serving,
00:24 and you don't have to worry about any layering.
00:26 Easy as cake.
00:28 Mine goes in at 325 for about 30 minutes.
00:31 I'm gonna let it cool completely before we do the ice cream.
00:34 Cake is out, smells good.
00:35 We're gonna let it cool completely on the wire rack.
00:38 You cannot be putting cold ice cream on a warm cake.
00:41 That one in the middle.
00:43 Now for the ice cream layer.
00:45 If you can find your ice cream in a square carton,
00:48 that's gonna be best.
00:49 Peel the sides away and then cut this whole loaf.
00:54 Now I'm gonna place these two halves
00:56 onto some wax paper or parchment paper.
01:00 See where I'm going?
01:02 Now the cake is gonna be slightly larger than the ice cream,
01:05 so we're gonna trim off some of the edges.
01:07 At this point, I'm popping it back in the freezer
01:09 because it melts really fast.
01:12 And then, once it's hardened again,
01:14 we'll turn it back over onto our serving tray.
01:16 All right, now for the fun stuff.
01:21 So whatever you're gonna serve your ice cream cake on,
01:24 you're gonna place that upside down
01:27 and then we're gonna turn the whole thing over.
01:29 I'm just gonna peel that away.
01:33 She cute.
01:34 I'm gonna kinda smooth out that ice cream a little bit
01:37 and make it look like the top of a cake.
01:39 So we're done.
01:40 Obviously, you'll wanna serve this immediately
01:43 or you can put it back in the freezer just like this
01:46 until you're ready to eat.
01:47 We're digging right in.
01:50 How cute is that?
01:53 To finish it off, I'm gonna do a little chocolate sauce
01:56 and sprinkles.
01:58 That's a whole cake of perfect bites right there.
02:00 You know what cake and ice cream tastes like.
02:04 This is just that.
02:06 Just like it's all melting down into the cake.
02:09 See that?
02:10 The simplicity of this dessert combined
02:12 with the low cost factor makes this something
02:15 you absolutely have to make this summer.
02:18 Listen, we're doing this in a nine by 13.
02:21 That makes for easy.
02:23 (beep)
02:25 (upbeat music)
