I’m so excited to be participating in a fun Red, White and Blue themed blog hop today! I’m sharing one of my favorite Summer party recipes, along with almost 100 other great ideas!

This ice cream cake is a spin off of my number one, all-time most popular post: Copycat DQ Ice Cream Cake I wanted to create a red, white and blue version of it – but my dilemma was, not wanting to lose what makes the DQ cake so great… the layer of gooey chocolaty cookie goodness! I thought about how easy it would be to get vanilla flavored cookies and dye them with food coloring or use blue moon ice cream with vanilla. But, I wanted to use chocolate – because what would an ice cream cake be without chocolate?

Red White & Blue Ice Cream Cake

Vanilla Ice Cream
Strawberry Ice Cream
Chocolate Syrup
Blue food coloring
Red white and blue sprinkles
Whip cream
1 Package chocolate cookies like Oreo or similar brand
Spring form pan

Instructions

Butter the bottom and sides of a spring form pan - for easy removal
Spread one layer of vanilla ice cream across the bottom of pan and then up all the sides to the top
Freeze for a few minutes to harden between layers
Spread a layer of strawberry ice cream on top of vanilla
Freeze for a few minutes to harden between layers
Crush chocolate cookies in plastic bag, then coat them in chocolate syrup and spread across top of strawberry ice cream

Mix blue food coloring with vanilla ice cream to create desired color of blue and spread across top of chocolate mix
