5 Minute Ice Cream Cake Recipe | Easy DIY Ice Cream Cake (1)

Everybody needs a go-to dessert and I’m pretty sure I just found mine! This oh-so-easy ice cream cake comes together so fast it can hardly even be called a recipe, and yet the pretty stripes make it an impressive showstopper. Because the only thing better than a delicious dessert that only takes minutes to throw together is one that LOOKS like it took all day!

For this version I used chocolate chip mint ice-cream and layered it twice, but if you wanted to get even fancier you could do two different flavors of ice-cream. The mint was a great combo with the Oreos but I’m sure you could substitute your own favorite flavors with just as much success. I used my silicone loaf pan which made the cake pop right out, but as long as you line the pan with foil you should be good with a standard loaf pan as well.
