Ooey Gooey Cake Ice Cream is the combination of two favorite treats – ooey gooey cake and vanilla ice cream!
Ooey Gooey Cake Ice Cream was inspired by my ice cream crawl through New York City last year! Â My youngest daughter lives in Manhatten and I take every chance I can to go visit. Â In fact, I’m headed there in less than two weeks so watch for some more NYC posts. Â You can check out all my favorite places for ice cream in NYC here. Â I’ve got some new ice cream places to check out on this next visit.
This delicious banana ice cream was inspired by a previous trip too.
One of the ice cream places I like to visit while in NYC is Ample Hills Creamery. Â It’s been voted New York’s top ice cream. Â They have so many fun, creative flavor combinations. Â One of my favorites is The Munchies, I’ve got a great copy cat recipe for it.
Today’s recipe for Ooey Gooey Cake Ice Cream was another fun flavor I tried at Ample Hills and it combines two favorite treats. Â Ooey Gooey Cake and vanilla ice cream. Â If you’ve never had ooey gooey cake, you really should. Â You can find my recipe for it here. Â We love it in the summer with fresh berries on top. Â For the recipe I made an ooey gooey cake following the directions on that post and then cut it into bite size pieces. Â You won’t need the whole cake for the ice cream so you’ll have cake leftover to share or eat by itself.
I popped the cut up pieces into the freezer for about 20-30 minutes to harden them up so they didn’t fall apart when I mixed them into the ice cream.
For the ice cream part, I used my favorite homemade vanilla ice cream recipe. Â It’s the best and I use it as my starting point for lots of my ice cream recipes. Â I’ve heard from many of you how much you love it too.
I use my favorite 2 qt. Cuisinart ice cream maker and when the ice cream is almost finished, I put the chilled bits of cake into the ice cream maker and let them churn right it.
Then I put the ice cream into my Tovolo Ice Cream Tub, I love this thing.  It keeps ice cream at just the right texture and temperature.  I always sprinkle a few more pieces of cake on top for good measure.
After the ice cream is set up, just scoop away! Â I love the chunks of ooey gooey cake throughout the vanilla ice cream.
I can’t wait to discover some fun new ice cream flavors on my upcoming trip. Â If you have any NYC ice cream must try ideas for me, leave me a comment and let me know!
