  • 3 pints of your desired SweetPea ice cream flavor

Ingredients for making plant-based ice cream cake arranged on a wooden counter.

Directions:

  1. Prepare your favorite cake mix and bake in two 8-inch round cake pans. When they’re finished baking, let those cakes cool! Once cool, pop out the cakes onto two different plates and set aside to cool further.
  2. We’re serious, let them cool to room temperature.
  3. Use one of the 8-inch round cake pans and line it with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Then spread your SweetPea ice cream into the pan in an even layer. (Feel free to use multiple flavors!) Cover with plastic wrap and place it into the freezer to set. (about 30 minutes)
  4. While your SweetPea ice cream is setting in the freezer, gather any extra toppings you want to use and place them in a bowl. Get out your frosting too.
  5. Once your 8-inch round pan filled with SweetPea has set, remove it from the freezer. Gently pull on the plastic wrap or parchment paper lining the pan to coax the layer of ice cream out of the 8-inch round. Once out, place it on top of one of the cake sheets you made earlier. Then place the remaining cake layer on top of it. The result should be a layer of SweetPea plant-based ice cream sandwiched between two layers of cake.
  6. Frost the whole thing with the wild abandon of a drunk paint-splatter artist. 
  7. Decorate with the extra topping you placed into a bowl earlier. If you want some decorative fudge drizzled on top, add that too!
