Troubleshooting: Should I Melt The Ice Cream First?
You don’t need to completely melt your ice cream before you get started, but it should be soft enough for you to scoop it out and then spread it on the pan. You don’t want to hurt yourself or break a spoon as you go along!
Do Ice Cream Cakes Have Eggs?
Unfortunately for those with egg allergies, our cake recipe does include eggs. You can always try an egg replacement product, or you can use your favorite allergen-friendly cake instead!
Does Ice Cream Cake Melt?
It definitely does. If you want to serve yours at an outdoor party or barbecue, we recommend that you leave it in the freezer right up until serving — this is especially important on those hot summer days! If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious cake recipes:
