Blue bell ice cream cake recipe

I’ve always been a huge fan of ice cream. I used to not be super particular about the brand or flavor of ice cream. Then I started being a little pickier about what I ate – it was only the BEST ice cream. Everyone raved about Blue Bunny® ice cream (have you seen all the flavors they have??), but I hadn’t ever tried it. Until now….

Then, life got a little bit better, because Blue Bunny ice cream is kind of the best. We hit up our local Walmart and spotted something new: A Blue Bunny ice cream cake – ready to go and gorgeous (you can find them online or in store!).

I grew up with an ice cream cake, so this Blue Bunny® ice cream cake intrigued me. Plus, it was vanilla bean. MMMM!

First things first, I had to check out this Blue Bunny ice cream cake. If you wanted to serve it as is, that would totally work. It was READY to go, and oh-so-pretty! It had vanilla bean frosting, a layer with blondies, and whipped cream frosting the entire cake.

Also, no judgement …. I might’ve had a few (ok more than a few) bites of the new Blue Bunny® flavors. Cookies and Cream had my heart for that minute, but their 2017 line up looks incredible, that includes: Bunny Snacks™, Salted Caramel Pretzel, Chocolate Vanilla Twist, Chocolate Chip Cookie.

I went a little nuts and evened out my layers of ice cream to cake – totally not necessary, but I did it. I also used my stabilized whipped cream to pipe little decorations around the edges. Last, I cut up the full-sized blondie that came on the Blue Bunny® ice cream cake into small pieces and used them as decor on the piped edges.
