How to Make Pool Party Ice Cream Cake

  1. Prepare your 9x13 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently soften 2 pints of your favorite ice cream flavor (vanilla or Neapolitan recommended).
  3. Spread the softened ice cream evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  4. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the blue icing. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of your favorite vanilla frosting and 2-4 drops of blue food coloring. Mix until you achieve your desired shade of blue.
  6. Once the ice cream is partially firm, spread the blue icing evenly over the ice cream layer.
  7. Crush 1 package (14.1 oz) of graham crackers into medium-sized crumbs.
  8. Evenly sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the blue icing.
  9. Crush 1 package (10.75 oz) of chocolate wafers into medium-sized crumbs.
  10. Sprinkle the chocolate wafer crumbs over the graham cracker layer.
  11. Freeze the ice cream cake for at least 45 minutes, or until the icing is firm.
  12. Once frozen, gently lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Pool Party Ice Cream Cake!
