Layers of fudge and candy make this easy Reese’s Ice Cream Cake a stunning summer dessert for any party! So easy to customize with your favorite candies!
Every year our daughter asks for an ice cream cake for her birthday. Over the years she has requested this vanilla mint chip ice cream cake and this chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream cake. We have so much fun making and devouring these easy cakes together.
Layering ice cream sandwiches, hot fudge, Cool Whip, and candy bars makes an even easier cake for summer parties! Plus, they can be customized to your flavor satisfaction.
We like to use hot fudge and peanut butter cups because that’s how we roll around here. But just think of all the combos you could do! Caramel and Snickers. Marshmallow and Three Musketeers.
The hardest part about this cake is unwrapping all the ice cream sandwiches and layering them in the pan before they start to melt.
I suggest just getting 8 sandwiches out of the freezer at a time. Unwrap those and spread a layer of fudge, Cool Whip, and candy bars and then freeze it for a few minutes before you start on the next layer.
Once you have it all layered together, cover it and put it back in the freezer. Yeah, more waiting time is involved in this recipe. I mean you could just grab a fork and dive in, but the layers wouldn’t be as pretty.
After a few hours everything freezes together so that you can cut out pretty squares of frozen goodness!
We like to drizzle ours with more chocolate and sprinkle it with some mini Reese’s pieces. More candy is never a bad idea in my world! A big slice of this Reese’s ice cream cake is a great way to cool off on a hot summer day!
Looking for some more easy frozen treats to enjoy this summer? Check out these little chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream bites! I’m pretty sure I could demolish the whole batch in no time at all. Feeling ambitious? Make your own homemade ice cream sandwiches and then layer them together in a pan to make this cake. Think of all the fun combos you could do then! I’m also loving these pretty tutti fruity frozen yogurt bars. A granola crust and lots of fruit frozen in each bar makes them a healthy option for hot weather snacking!
