Chocolate Crunch Ice Cream Cake
Sorry this picture isn’t the best. 
This was the LAST slice and I got it just in time to take a picture of it.
 It had been sitting out so it melted a little.

To put it simple, ice cream cake is just flat out FUN to eat!!! I LOVE ice cream cake and I’ll admit…I go to lil kids birthday parties only with this hopes of overindulging in a few slices of ice cream cake. My favorite ice cream cake is by Dairy Queen! It’s pure ice cream, none of that cake stuff (I hate the taste of frozen cake!)

If you have never had a Dairy Queen ice cream cake then  picture layers of creamy ice cream, with this crunchy cookie fudgy mixture in between and frosted with sweet, fluffy frosting to top it off!! Very heavenly and very freakin expensive! Or maybe I’m just really cheap.

Here is MY recreation of my husbands favorite Dairy Queen ice cream cake for a fraction of the cost! It combines vanilla & chocolate ice cream, a layer of caramel cookie crunch, a layer of fudge cookie crunch and is frosted with whipped butter cream cool whip frosting!!

It’s super easy to make and super cheap! Be  prepared to make this ice cream cake a day before you want to serve it since it will need time to really freeze.


Watch me make this cake from start to finish!!
