Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Mixture
- 16 oz Cool Whip
- ½ gallon Vanilla Ice Cream
- 1 cup Red and Green Sprinkles
Cake Layer
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (reserve one cake for top decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grab an 8×8 inch baking pan to assemble your ice cream cake.
- Mix Cool Whip and Ice Cream: In a large bowl, combine two-thirds of the Cool Whip with the half-gallon of vanilla ice cream. Stir gently to blend, then fold in about half of the sprinkles to incorporate festive color into the ice cream mixture.
- Prepare the Cake Base: Crush all the Christmas Tree Cakes except the one reserved for the top into small pieces. Evenly spread the crushed cakes on the bottom of the 8×8 pan to create a flavorful base layer.
- Add Ice Cream Mixture: Pour and spread the Cool Whip and ice cream mixture evenly over the crushed cake layer, smoothing the top for an even finish.
- Ice the Cake: Use the remaining Cool Whip as icing to cover the top of the ice cream layer completely, creating a smooth and creamy finishing layer.
- Freeze Overnight: Cover the assembled cake with aluminum foil and freeze it overnight to allow it to set firmly.
- Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the cake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Use a knife warmed under hot water to slice cleanly through the frozen layers.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Top the cake with the reserved Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake for decoration, add remaining sprinkles if desired, and serve immediately to delight your guests.
Notes
- Allow the cake to soften slightly before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
- Using a hot knife prevents the ice cream from sticking and cracking the layers.
- You can substitute sprinkles colors to match different occasions.
- Ensure the cake is well covered with foil in the freezer to avoid freezer burn.
- Reserve one Christmas Tree Cake specifically for the top decoration to enhance presentation.
