This Strawberry Ice Cream Cake using Girl Scout Cookie Trefoils takes Strawberry Short Cake to the next level. Easy and soooo good! If you love this, you will also love my Berry Ripple Ice Cream and my Animal Cookie Ice Cream Cake.
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.
Using Trefoils was a brilliant way to make this happen. It tastes like the most incredible shortbread cookie you have ever devoured. It is quite a match for mascerated strawberries, whipped cream and strawberry and vanilla ice creams. And if you want to take things even further, you can make the ice cream from scratch.

This recipe is a snap to make, and doesn’t really require a recipe. I have a guideline below that you can use to make yours but remember, this is all about fun. You don’t need to follow the rules with this ice cream cake. As long as you are having a blast in the kitchen with your kids and Girl Scouts, you are making a winner in my book.

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.
