22 Screamingly Scrumptious Ice Cream Cake Recipes

Here at Brit + Co., we believe in living every day like it’s the best day of the year. One of our favorite party-worthy treats (after sprinkles, of course!) is the ice cream cake. So, in honor of the special occasion of today, we’re bringing you 22 scream-worthy ice cream cakes (yes, they’re that good!). Life is a celebration and cake is always appropriate. Let’s party.

1. Classic Ice Cream Cake: As you can see, this beautiful number is anything but boring. A decadent layer of crushed chocolate-wafer cookies and chocolate-ripple sauce is sandwiched between mint-chocolate-chip and homemade vanilla ice cream. It stacks up be to one stunning cake. (via Kinfolk)

2. Fudge with Cherries: It doesn’t get any better than dark chocolate, ice cream and cherries. (via Call Me Cupcake)

3. Peppermint Ice Cream Cake: Peppermint takes the cool freshness of ice cream to a whole new level. A crunchy Oreo crust and chocolate ice cream are topped off with a Hershey’s-candy-cane-kiss-vanilla-ice-cream concoction. Perfect with a cup of cocoa on a cold day. (via Bakers Royale)

4. Skinny Rainbow with Fresh Fruit: What can we say? This visually stunning rainbow cake belongs on Brit + Co! So colorful. (via Life Love and Sugar)

5. Strawberry Milkshake: Get your strawberry fix from this pretty-‘n’-pink milkshake cake (even if strawberries aren’t currently in season). The cake is flavored with Jell-O and frozen berries, then sandwiched between layers of strawberry ice cream. Scrumptious! (via Taste and Tell)

6. Reese’s Brownie: Money can’t buy happiness… or maybe it can? Find out when you purchase the ingredients and whip up this incredibly pleasing Reese’s brownie ice cream cake. (via Baker’s Royale)

7. Irish Cream Cupcakes: You’re in luck! These pretty green mini cakes arrive just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. (via Bubbly Nature Creations)

8. Peanut Butter Oreo: Peanut butter Oreo ice cream cake is a good idea. On a scale of really, really bad to really, really good ideas, this cake would probably break the scale. You see, Oreos, peanut butter and caramel sauce will always, always come out on top. (via Lauren’s Latest)

9. S’mores Ice Cream Cake: We just can’t get enough of S’mores. (Alas, it’s a weakness.) Fortunately, you can bring the campfire treat inside with a cake that features the flavors you crave — oozing mallow and hot chocolatey fudge atop a crunchy graham cracker crust. (via Bombshell Bling)

10. Sprinkle Cake with Birthday Cake Buttercream and Oreo Crumb: We’re in sprinkle heaven! Make a real statement at your next birthday party with an incredible sprinkled ice cream cake. (via The Moon Blush Baker)

11. Frozen Chocolate Oreo: Take 10. Yep, 10 minutes is all you need to make an impressive cake. The only thing more impressive is how quickly this cake can (and will) disappear. (via The Kitchn)

12. Pretzel Drumstick: Part of us wants to turn over a new leaf for the New Year, another part wants to make this glorious drumstick pretzel fudge brownie caramel super-cake. We’re going for it. Let’s do it together. No regrets. (via Cherry Tea Cakes)

13. Turtle Pumpkin: Pumpkin ice cream. Gingersnap crust. And a secret amazingness known as dulce de leche (which literally means “milk jam,” as in milk candy or caramel). You can’t top this… except maybe by adding chocolate. And candied pecans. (via A Spicy Perspective)

14. Strawberries and Cream: Three words for ya: No. Baking. Involved. That’s right. This decadent no-bake cake is assembly only. It comes together in minutes or even faster if you work with a friend. Henry Ford would be proud. (via A Night Owl)

15. Snickers Peanut Butter Brownie: Hmmm… how can we sum up this cake in one word? Extravagant. It’s loaded with everything except the kitchen sink. And yet… could you drizzle extra chocolate sauce on our slice, please? (via Life Love and Sugar)

16. Classic Milkshake Cupcakes: Can’t take the cold weather? Skip the soup. Make satisfyingly delicious milkshake cupcakes to bring back visions of sunnier days. What flavor do you want? Strawberry? Chocolate? Coke? (We’ll try them all!) (via Bubbly Nature Creations)

17. Banana Split: This over-the-top cake is proof that more is better. It features three ice creams, plus all the deliciousness usually found in a banana split. (via Brown Eyed Baker)

18. Black and White: What’s black and white and possibly better than an Oreo cookie? Only this cake — a brownie ice cream cake that’s so easy, no recipe is even required. (via Bakers Royale)

19. Milo Ice Cream Cake: Before this cake, we’d never heard of Milo, a chocolate energy drink mix (are we in the minority here?). But after a few minutes of mesmerized staring at this cake, we need it. Like yesterday. Because apparently, it’s the magic ingredient. Two layers of chocolate-malt cake sandwich a vanilla ice cream layer that’s loaded with the amazing crunchy Milo crumbles, then topped off with a rich chocolate malt sauce. (via The Sugar Hit)

20. Samoa Cookie: Meet your new favorite way to eat a Samoa — in cake form. Can we just go back to eating already? (via Beyond Frosting)

21. Chocolate with Hazelnuts and Marshmallow Swirl: Right now, we’re interested in just one thing in life: This cake. We don’t know about you guys, but Nutella has pretty much won our hearts over for any recipe that includes the word “hazelnut.” (via Martha Stewart)

22. Tiramisu Ice Cream Cake: Tiramisu translates to “pick me up” in English. Yes, this cake definitely inspires happiness. (Hello? Coffee is a main ingredient!). It is the dessert dreams are made of. (via The Delicious Life)

We’re curious: If we hosted a screaming contest (winner takes home the cake!), which of these ice creams would have you squealing your loudest? (Hypothetically speaking, of course.)

Foolproof Beef Wellingtonby Chef Genevieve LaMonaca

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs beef Tenderloin center cut canon (ask your butcher)
  • 1-2 T Avocado Oil for searing
  • 8oz shallots, minced
  • 1 lb Mushrooms, cremini or button, minced
  • 6 T butter
  • 1 t thyme leaves
  • 1 T minced Parsley
  • Salt and Pepper TT
  • Pastry Dough x 2:
  • Bread Flour 1 1/2 cups plus 1 T
  • Butter 3/4 cup (6oz) cubed
  • Salt 1/2 t
  • Ice cold water 1/4 cup

Directions:

  • Slice off a 2 lb center cut canon from a beef tenderloin or ask your butcher.
  • Pat dry, season heavily with salt and pepper. sear on all sides using a fat with a high smoke point (Avocado oil)
  • Tip: Precooking your beef is the secret to preventing a soggy bottom crust and most of the moisture is removed prior. This will also ensure that your tenderloin is cooked perfect every time.
  • Roast in a 150 oven to an internal temp of 115. Chill
  • TIP: I like to measure my canon lengthwise side to side then the circumference by using butchers twine. This will help me determine the size I need to make my prosciutto bed and pastry sheet.
  • Make your mushroom duxelles. Saute half a pound of minced shallots in 6 T butter then add 1 lb finely chopped mushrooms and thyme, saute, deglaze with sherry wine as necessary, cook until pan is dry, add minced parsley, season and set aside.
  • Add flour and butter to a counter top mixer and using a paddle, combine on lowest speed until the butter is turned into crumbs and all the flour is Incorporated. Pour in your ice water and mix until combined. Place dough onto the counter and form into a ball then flatten/ wrap with plastic wrap and chill.

This post has been updated. (Additional reporting by Dana Sandonato, Chloe Williams and Theresa Gonzalez)

1923 fans are excited for season 2 for a variety of reasons. Not only does it promise to answer our biggest questions from the end of season 1, but I can't wait to see Jacob and Cara Dutton (Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren) totally kick Banner Creighton's butt. They're waiting for Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) to return to Montana to help them, and the new 1923 season 2 trailer proves there's literally nobody else who can do the job. Not that I had any doubt.

Here's what to expect from 1923 season 2 (aside from a super hot Brandon Sklenar).

The new '1923' season 2 trailer shows off Spencer's journey — and Alex's.

So far, Paramount's been teasing Spencer's journey across the country to reach his family, but this is the best look we've gotten at just how difficult his travels are. Not only is he making his way across state lines with no car and no horse, he's on his own AND he's racing against time as the Duttons fight off Banner and Whitfield at the ranch. I am STRESSED, y'all. (Although I have to admit, he looks dang good doing it.)

We finally get a glimpse of what Alex's next chapter looks like too, as she's left alone on the ship after Spencer gets kicked off. Storms are to be expected, but based on the figure who grabs her from behind, it looks like she could be in some serious danger from a fellow passenger. But even the sketchiest of situations isn't stopping this woman from finding Spencer again.

Every moment matters because in '1923,' "everything has meaning."

“Taylor [Sheridan] called us and said, ‘You have to look at every scene and imagine that it could be the most important scene of the episode, even if it’s just you walking from point A to point B,'” actress Julia Schlaepfer told The Hollywood Reporterin May 2023. “Everything has meaning.”

“I would love for Alex to make it to the ranch and meet the family,” she continued. “I hope we get to see some of her own strength come out now that she’s on her own. I want to meet the Dutton women. I think that that would be a lot of fun — and Teonna, we all want to meet Teonna.”

Every moment, and every relationship, makes 1923 stand out against this year's other TV shows, and Brandon Sklenar is "confident" that 1923 season 2 "is going to be absolutely incredible," he told Forbes. “The tone shifts a lot and it’s definitely a bit darker. It’s very beautiful.”

1923 season 2 premieres on Paramount+ February 16 and stars Julia Schlaepfer, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Brandon Sklenar, Michelle Randolph, Darren Mann, Jerome Flynn, Aminah Nieves, and Isabel May. Stay tuned for the latest news!

I can't wait to reunite with the Duttons — and for Spencer and Alex to reunite with each other. Duh! Check out Every Character Returning For 1923 Season 2 while you wait for the new episodes.
