Ice Cream Cake Recipe?

[MindytheOrganist]

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.
