Servings: 8
Equipment
- 1 Loaf pan
- 1 ice cream scoop
- Parchment Paper, sheet
Ingredients
- 1 1.5Q Vanilla ice cream
- 1 1.5Q Strawberry ice cream
- 1 pack Graham crackers, honey
- 1 pint blueberries
- 1 pint blackberries
- 1 pint strawberries
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is paper hanging over the sides of the pan. If too large, you can fold parchment paper in the center so it fits in loaf pan snugly.
- Next, add a layer of graham crackers to the bottom of loaf pan. It should take about 12 rectangles to fully cover the bottom of the pan.
- For the ice cream layer, you will need to soften your ice cream. To speed up softening, pop the ice cream tub in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds. This will allow ice cream to scoop out easily into your loaf pan. Scoop out a minimum of 6-8 scoops of vanilla, filling in any gaps, and ensuring you have an even, smooth layer.
- Next, wash and dry your berries. Add in some blueberries and blackberries evenly over the layer of vanilla ice cream, reserving the remainder for the topping. Lightly smash in the berries into the ice cream layer.
- Add your next layer of graham crackers evenly onto the vanilla/berry ice cream layer.
- Now you're ready for the strawberry ice cream, ensuring it is equally softened. Add in the same amount of strawberry ice cream, so a second smooth and even layer is formed. You should now have reached the top of the loaf pan. Fold over the sides of parchment paper over the top of the ice cream loaf cake and pop it in the freezer.
- Prepare the topping by washing, hulling and quartering some strawberries. Mix with reserved blueberries and blackberries.
- Remove the ice cream loaf cake from the freezer and place next to your serving dish. Remove the cake by pulling up on the sides of parchment paper. Remove paper from sides and bottom of ice cream loaf cake. Place on your serving dish.
- For the topping, add the quartered strawberries along with the reserved blueberries and blackberries to the top of the cake. You cake is ready to serve!
- Slice your No Bake Mixed Berry Ice Cream Loaf Cake and enjoy!
Notes
TIP: This recipe uses 1.5Q each of vanilla and strawberry ice cream from Whole Foods (reserving half for future use). Note that 1.5 quarts equals 6 cups or 3 pints of ice cream, so alternatively 1.5 pints per flavor can be purchased if desired.
