Best 4 Red White Blue Ice Cream Cake Recipes

RED, WHITE AND BLUE ICE CREAM "CAKE"

Steps:

• Spray 8-inch round cake pan (or springform pan) with cooking spray; line with a parchment paper circle on bottom and parchment paper strips around side.
• Soften raspberry sorbet at room temperature about 10 minutes or until just spreadable. Spread evenly in bottom of pan; place in freezer for about 1 hour or until firm.
• Repeat this step with vanilla ice cream - the idea is that the white is in the center of the red and blue - freeze again until firm, and finish with the final layer of blueberry ice cream; freeze the whole cake for several hours - at least 4 - until very firm.
• Once the entire cake is firm, gently lower the bottom of the pan into a bowl of warm water to loosen the parchment paper and lightly melt the edges of the ice cream cake. Place a cake plate over the top of the pan. Gently turn the cake pan and plate upside down, and shake gently to loosen. It should plop onto the cake plate. OR, if you use a springform pan, gently release the form (after dipping in warm water to loosen), and place the cake onto a cake plate, while leaving the springform base in place for easier transfer. Either serve immediately, or refreeze the whole cake until ready to serve. Decorate with whipped cream, berries and sparkler candles.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE

Steps:

• Grease two 9-inch square metal cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare and bake the red velvet cake in the greased cake pans according to the package instructions. Cool the cakes in the pans on wire racks for 15 minutes, then unmold the cakes onto the racks and let cool completely. Trim off the tops of the cakes to yield two 1/2-inch-high cakes.
• Arrange 9 of the ice cream sandwiches into a 9-inch square on a platter, trimming the sandwiches as needed to form the square. Top with one of the cake layers. Arrange another layer of 9 ice cream sandwiches on top of the cake layer. Repeat with the remaining layer of cake and 9 ice cream sandwiches. Chill in the freezer while you prepare the topping.
• Combine the cream, sugar, food coloring and vanilla if using and beat until stiff peaks form. Using an offset spatula, generously frost the cake on all sides with the whipped topping. Decorate the cake with sprinkles as desired. Place in the freezer until ready to serve.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 18x12-inch half-sheet pan with shortening or cooking spray or line with cooking parchment paper.
• In medium bowl, stir cake mix, butter, vanilla and eggs until well blended (batter will be thick). Spread in pan (you may need to use greased hands to spread evenly). Bake 12 minutes or until set but still soft. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack.
• Meanwhile, line 12x9-inch pan with cooking parchment or waxed paper. In large bowl, stir ice cream, blueberries and strawberries. Spread in pan. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
• Cut cake into 6 rows by 4 rows for 24 (3-inch) squares. Remove ice cream from freezer. Cut into 4 rows by 3 rows for 12 (3-inch) squares. Sandwich 1 ice cream square between 2 cake squares. Serve immediately, or wrap individually in plastic wrap or foil and store in freezer.

• Place 4 ice cream sandwiches, side by side, on 24-inch-long sheet of foil; cover with blue pudding mixture. Repeat layers once, using red pudding mixture. Top with remaining sandwiches. Frost top and sides with remaining COOL WHIP. Loosely fold foil to make packet.
