I have a slight obsession with Strawberry Short Cake. This is why I knew I was going to make an ice cream cake using Girl Scout Cookies that gave me the same joy the original did.
Ingredients
- Girl Scout Trefoils Box: These buttery cookies are crushed and ready to add crunch in every bite.
- Vanilla Ice Cream: Softened to creamy perfection, it balances out the berries.
- Strawberry Ice Cream: It gives you that sweet, fruity swoon.
- Fresh Strawberries: Sliced thin, these are sugar-kissed and ready to mingle with the creamy layers.
- Whipped Cream: This fluffy cloud is here to crown your cake with a soft, dreamy finish.
How to Make Strawberry Ice Cream Cake
- Line the outside of a 9 inch round baking pan (or springform pan or pie plate) with plastic wrap.
- Begin creating layers inside the pan. You can start with strawberry ice cream smoothing with a spatula until smooth then freeze for 45 minutes then layer with crushed cookies and strawberries then layer with vanilla ice cream, and whipped topping.
- Top decoratively with remaining strawberries and remaining trefoil cookies and freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours then cut and serve.
How to Store
To keep your strawberry ice cream cake in tip-top shape, snugly wrap it in plastic wrap or foil and give it a cozy spot in the deep freeze. It’ll stay fresh and fabulous for up to two weeks. Remember to let it sit out for a hot minute before serving, so it cuts like butter and tastes like summer.

Help me to understand why you LINE the outside of the pan for the strawberry ice cream cake. Strawberries are coming soon to our area. Looks like a beautiful recipe.
It just helps to release the ice cream cake easily from the pan intact. Totally up to you if you choose to use it or not.
