How to Make a Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Cake

Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars 12 bars
- Whipped Topping
- optional: sprinkles/colored icing/etc.
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and place four strawberry shortcake bars across the bottom (make sure to remove the popsicle sticks first!).
- Spread a layer of whipped topping over the bars and repeat the layers until you're out of bars. Your last layer at the very top should be whipped topping.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the pan and place it in the freezer for several hours, until set.
- Once the cake is set, flip it out onto a serving platter (make sure it's one that fits back into your freezer) and use the remainder of whipped topping to "ice" the cake. If you're adding sprinkles or other decorations, do so now. Return cake to freezer for at least 2 hours to set.
- Slice with a large sharp knife and ENJOY!

Yay for Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Cake!!! P.S. I love ice cream cake. Not like. Not strongly like. Loooooooove. Or lurve, if that’s even stronger. Not sure though, hip lingo isn’t really my thing. Infinity love. (infinity) x (infinity) + 1. It’s a serious kind of feeling I have for this food.

Every year growing up I asked for an ice cream cake on my birthday. And it was the beeeeest. There were never leftovers, because who can control themselves in the face of ice cream cake? Not this gal. So when I recently realized I could make ice cream cakes at home in like 4 seconds with two ingredients? Oh, hello happiest girl alive! Where did you come from? Oh, you know. The kitchen. Wheeeeeeeee!

YUM!! Such a fantastic dessert!! I would LOVE a slice!
This is so fun and so easy! The kids go crazy for it!
So original – I love it. Strawberry shortcake is my favorite so this is awesome.
Do you mean cool whip ? Or homemade whip cream ? Thank you
cool whip 🙂
Could I make this the night before?
absolutely! just stash it in the freezer until you’re ready to enjoy 🙂
Is there an easy way to get popsicle stick out of popsicles/strawberry shortcake bars ?
Wiggle and pull 🙂
Ok thanks! Im making this today for my son’s birthday! Im hoping I don’t mess this up 😩 He loves the strawberry shortcake ice cream bars ,so I’m hoping he loves this. I’ll check back in to let you how it goes. (Fingers crossed)
Not going so good with getting the sticks out 😩 Is there anyone with more ideas of how to get the popsicle sticks out of the bars ? Please Help !!
Hmmm, I’ve never had trouble. Maybe let them sit out a few minutes and soften a bit?
what size cool whip? 8oz ?
Yes, 8 ounces. 🙂
is there a way to add a layer of cake to this ?
Love your recipe! I read a comment “ can you add a layer of cake”. I have added a layer of pound cake, even lemon pound cake and just today I tried a layer of blueberry pound cake. I also add fresh berries on cool whip layer. Absolutely delicious. I often make 2 loaf pans, people always ask for more! Lol
Made this for dessert for friends and everyone loved it. I added pound cake levels and it was delicious! If you add fresh strawberries on top, wait until just before you serve. If you freeze them with the “cake” they are too hard. Thanks for an unusual shortcake recipe.
Love the idea of adding a pound cake layer!
