Notes

Store: To store for a longer time, cover the ice cream cake tightly with plastic wrap and then place it in an airtight container, like a plastic freezer bag. It will keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing to make cutting easier.

Ice Cream: Make sure to set the ice cream on the counter for at least 30 minutes. Give it a good stir to make sure it’s at a soft serve consistency, so you don’t rip the cake layers while spreading out the ice cream layer.

More Add Ins: Fold your favorite crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or nuts into softened ice cream for a different spin. You can also drizzle the chocolate between each layer for more chocolate flavor.
