OK. Who remembers ice cream logs? Not the overpriced Baskin Robbins rolls, but the ones they sold in the grocery store. The simple ones. The cheap ones. OMG! I loved those things. I always asked for that instead of a cake and ice cream separate. Something about the mixture that made it so perfect.

You’re probably saying, then make your own! Sure. I’ve seen recipes for log rolls, but I don’t have a jelly roll pan. Plus, it wasn’t the log that made it yummy, it was the combination. So, me? I don’t care about shape. I care about taste. Plus, I had leftover cake from my skateboard cake and didn’t want to waste it.

Voila! Ice cream cake! Check it out! A dessert for $2 bucks!

Ice Cream Cake:

Leftover chocolate cake. It doesn’t matter the pieces or shapes. Boxed brownies could work too, if you want something more rich.

2-3 cups Ice Cream, softened slightly (flavor is your choice) – $2.00

Using a glass bowl, mash down the chocolate cake pieces to create layer one. Use your hands. Then, using a firm plastic spoon or paddle, place about 2 cups of ice cream and mash into place. Using your hands again, mash the top layer of cake. Cover bowl with tight lid or plastic wrap.  Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.

And there you go…for almost no money and very little effort, you’ve got a seriously delicious dessert!

GRAND TOTAL: $2.00
