Vegan Brownie Caramel Ice Cream Cake

It has been heat each day right here in Minnesota, and though I’m considerably getting used to it, ice cream nonetheless all the time sounds good.  I like a dish of standard ice cream, however this week I made a decision that what sounded actually good was an ice cream cake!  I all the time cherished Dairy Queen ice cream truffles rising up, particularly that gooey fudge within the center and crunchy cookies (as a result of I’m an enormous texture particular person).  So now once I make an ice cream cake I like add ins!  This time I made a Vegan Brownie Caramel Ice Cream Cake and it turned out superior!

I had a couple of pints of vegan vanilla ice cream readily available and somewhat than simply scoop it right into a bowl with toppings like I normally do, it grew to become this cake. Do I normally make my very own ice cream?  Sure.  However I used to be gifted this ice cream, and I really feel like if you find yourself making a cake with ice cream it’s a lot simpler to make it with retailer purchased for one much less step. I used vanilla however truthfully if you’re a chocolate lover I really feel like this may be superior with chocolate as properly!  For the crust, I made a decision to make it brownie, and what I ended up doing was one batch of brownie batter, half of which grew to become the crust, and the opposite half was to be crumbled into the cake.  It labored out completely, and Eric and I loved a couple of of the leftover scraps that did not make it into the cake as I waited for it to arrange.

I made a decision to make a date caramel to swirl into the cake. It was both that or fudge, however truthfully date caramel is my favourite and I already had different chocolate parts to this cake. Date caramel is very easy to make in a excessive pace blender, for mine I simply used dates, cashew butter, maple syrup, sea salt, vanilla and water and it got here out beautiful!  The final factor of the cake was including in chocolate chunks for an additional addition to texture parts.

This cake turned out heavenly!  That is excellent for summer time, and I believe I might have loved this rather more than an ice cream cake as a child for my birthday.  Perhaps you’ve a birthday developing, and you might make this Vegan Brownie Caramel Ice Cream Cake for it (or have another person make it), or you might make it as a result of ice cream cake is wonderful!  Both means, you need to positively give this a strive if you’re craving one thing candy!
