Indulge in the ultimate dessert with this Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream Cake! A creamy, fruity, and fun treat perfect for any celebration or just a sweet indulgence.

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Blender or food processor (if making raspberry puree)

Ingredients
  

  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • For the Ice Cream Layers:
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream softened
  • 2 cups raspberry sorbet or raspberry ice cream softened
  • For the Raspberry Swirl:
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries or raspberry puree
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar optional, to sweeten

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Crust:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated and crumbly.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating a firm, even crust. Place the pan in the freezer to set while you prepare the ice cream layers.
  • Make the Raspberry Swirl:
  • In a blender or food processor, blend the fresh raspberries with honey or sugar until smooth. If you prefer a more textured swirl, pulse until just combined and slightly chunky. Set aside.
  • Assemble the Ice Cream Layers:
  • Take the softened vanilla ice cream and spoon it over the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly to form the first layer.
  • Next, add a layer of the softened raspberry sorbet or ice cream, spreading it over the vanilla layer.
  • Add the Raspberry Swirl:
  • Drizzle the raspberry puree over the top of the raspberry ice cream layer. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the raspberry puree through the ice cream to create a marbled effect.
  • Freeze:
  • Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and freeze the cake for at least 4 hours, or until it’s firm and fully set.
  • Serve:
  • Once frozen, remove the cake from the springform pan and place it on a serving platter. Slice and serve immediately for a refreshing, creamy treat!
