Ice cream is one of the treats we like to eat year round. Homemade ice cream, store-bought ice cream, frozen yogurt, “healthy” Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream…we don’t discriminate in our ice cream love.
The ice cream monsters in our house stage mini revolts when there is no available ice cream to snack on, or if there is ice cream in the freezer that is off limits.
Ok, so revolt might be a strong word. They do give me “the look” though when I say the ice cream has other plans. Yes, even ice cream goes on my list of “do not eat unless mom gives the ok”.
I decided to make a batch of these Homemade Chocolate Chip Brownies (minus the chocolate chips) as a crust on an easy ice cream cake.
Making a Neapolitan Brownie Ice Cream Cake:
Preheat the oven and place a 9 inch piece of parchment or a cardboard cake circle in the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Mix together the brownie batter and spread it in in the pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove and cool completely.
Set a carton of strawberry ice cream on the counter. Let it soften for 15-20 minutes. Just long enough to be able to stir it and then pour it on the cooled brownie. Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes.
While the strawberry layer is freezing, repeat with the vanilla ice cream. Stir and pour it on the frozen strawberry layer.
Place the cake in the freezer for at least 5-6 hours, or until completely frozen.
Place a knife under hot water and dry it off. Run it around the outside edge of the cake and the pan. Open the springform pan and lift the sides off.
Cover the top of the ice cream cake with Cool Whip, and then add some pink sprinkles and little chocolate curls on the top. Cut into slices and enjoy any time of day.
This Neapolitan Brownie Ice Cream Cake didn’t last long around here once everyone knew it was fair game. In fact, I’m pretty sure I saw a few slices being eating for breakfast one morning.
There are no rules in our house about what you can and can’t eat for breakfast. I bet you wish you lived in our house.

This.looks.heavenly! And a perfect no-bake, homemade but looks-much-more-complicated-than-it-is summer dessert. I agree with you — summer just screams ice cream! And we should spend more time eating it than making it 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Well, the brownie layer is baked, so this isn’t quite a no bake dessert. But the brownie layer is so easy to do 🙂 I’m all for eating more ice cream treats for sure!!!
Librarian+Lavender says
I definitely wish I could have this for breakfast. The cake looks gorgeous! I can’t wait to try this, it’s so festive!
Lindsay @ Life, Love and Sugar says
You know I love a good ice cream cake! I love the neapolitan flavor and the brownie – yum!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thanks Lindsay!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
This looks amazing and you and your Neapolitan stuff! I’d pay you to make me that Neo fudge you made for the Bakeoff! That stuff is still just…the best fudge EVER! Your cake is gorgeous and not sure how you could stage and shoot this so FAST before it even melted at all! AMAZING! pinned
Mir says
I love Cake Boss! It’s like a happy cross between a baking show and a soap opera. And you created an awesome cake for them. This is a beaut!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thanks Mir! 🙂
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
Summer definitely screams ice cream! What a beautiful cake, Jocelyn! I am in love with the brownie base. And anything with Neapolitan is a winner in my book!
Amy @ Amy's Healthy Baking says
This is absolutely gorgeous Jocelyn — and congratulations about being approached by Cake Boss reps!! That’s so exciting and such a huge compliment! 🙂 Totally true about ice cream being off limits… My guy and I have a little system. Whenever I need something for the blog (or just don’t want to share!), I’ll write a question mark on the package or on a sticky note to tape to it. It’s his indication that he has to “ask” if it’s okay to eat! Much less annoying that a “Do not touch!” sign, at least to him!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
That’s a great idea! Thanks Amy! 🙂
