Ice Cream Cake Recipe?

Has anyone tried to make a gluten-free ice cream cake? I thought of using Betty Crocker's gluten-free chocolate cake mix and topping it with ice cream, but not sure how I could get the ice cream at the right consistency to spread without it getting runny. Ideas?

Icing it would pose another problem, unless I went completely nuts and tried a fondant (sp?) covering. Wow! Probably watching too many of those wedding cake shows!!!! :)

That sounds really good and I bet it would work with any gluten-free cake. Here's a recipe I found: Open Original Shared Link The first review of the recipe tells how to ice the cake with ice cream.

ETA: Let us know if you try it!

The day before:

Bake the cake and put it into a plastic freezer container. Freeze.

When ready to decorate:

Pour ice cream topping over cake and sprinkle on gluten-free cookie crumbs if desired.

Soften the ice cream a little and slice it. Place slices onto frozen cake smoothing over cracks.

If your container is larger than the cake, you can place ice cream slices on the sides. A 1/2 gallon will frost a 9x13" cake.

Refreeze several hours or overnight until hardened.

If you use M&M's to decorate it, they will "melt" onto the ice cream, not so pretty. I have used chocolate chips, broken candy bars, etc.

This isn't exactly an ice cream "cake", but it's delicious. My kids request it as their birthday cake. I haven't made it gluten-free yet, but the only change to be gluten-free would be the crust.

16 oz. Oreos finely crushed (or gluten-free substitute)

1 stick butter/margarine - melted

Mix together and pat into a 9 x 13 pan.

1 carton ice cream (whatever flavor you prefer)

Either slice the ice cream and place on top of crust, let melt slightly, and

blend edges together. Or just let the ice cream melt enough in the carton to

be able to spread it.

Place into freezer to harden. Once hardened:

1 jar hot fudge sauce spread over top of ice cream

Place into freezer again to set the fudge sauce.

8 oz. Cool Whip

Top the fudge sauce with Cool Whip and place into freezer again

Once it's all hardened together, it's delicious!

I'm still new to gluten-free (daughter diagnosed); but as far as I can tell by research, everything except the oreos would be gluten-free already.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
