Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  • Make Funfetti cake as directed on the box. Allow cake to completely cool before assembling the ice cream cake.
  • In a stainless-steel bowl, whip together, heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks have formed.
  • Place parchment paper at the bottom of the cheesecake pan. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream.
  • Place one 8” round Funfetti cake into the cheesecake pan.
  • Spread softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cake into the pan and smooth the top.
  • Place remaining cake on top of ice cream layer.
  • Spread remaining whipping cream over top of cake.
  • Place cheesecake pan in the freezer for at least 6 hours to overnight for best results.
  • Remove cheesecake pan from the freezer. Place cheesecake pan upside down on a cake stand. Unsnap the lock and slide pan off. Remove parchment paper from the top of the cake.
  • Decorate however you desire. Place cake back into the freezer until you are ready to serve.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Keep your leftover Funfetti ice cream cake tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Slice the cake with a warm knife to ensure clean and even slices every time.
  • Take your vanilla ice cream out of the freezer about 15 minutes before you need it to allow it plenty of time to soften.
