Death By Chocolate Ice Cream Cake is just that, so much chocolate, you are going to love it. Creamy homemade No-Churn Ice Cream with a delicious decadent Chocolate Ganache.

Death by Chocolate Ice Cream Cake will definitely become one of your summer favorites, fast and easy.

Nothing better than making a dessert and knowing that you don’t have to turn on the oven.  I have been dying to make an over the top Ice Cream Cake for a while now.

So last weekend I got my chance when my daughter’s best friend came over for lunch.  She loves food and like me, especially desserts.  So I knew this  Chocolate Ice Cream Cake would be perfect.

The girls met 9 years ago when they took swimming lessons together.  They hit it off immediately and to tell the truth I found a very good friend in her mother.

Be sure to watch the Video!

Lasagna is usually the Pasta of choice for these visits and a Super Tasty Dessert.  Although forget the Nutella, probably one of the few Italians or Italian kids who doesn’t like Nutella.

This Death by Chocolate Ice Cream Cake is practically all homemade, from the Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream to the Chocolate Glaze.

I guess if you really want to go all out you could make your own Chocolate Sauce, but I used a really good store-bought instead.

To start I lined an eight inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, it was so easy to remove the cake.  Then for the base I used a simple chocolate wafer cookie.

I started my Ice Cream layers with a No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream, believe me using no-churn ice cream is so much easier than waiting for a store-bought to soften.

Just pour your no-churn ice cream on top, it doesn’t stick to the cookie base when you try to spread it like it would with store-bought.

I then drizzled a good amount, so don’t be shy of some chocolate sauce on top, poured half of my Chocolate No-Churn on top, again a good drizzle of chocolate sauce and finished with the last half of the Vanilla.

I froze it over-night and just before serving I made my Chocolate Glaze and poured it over the Death by Chocolate Ice Cream Cake. So what are you waiting for? Slice it up and enjoy!

      Absolutely divine!. I was looking to make a home-made ice cream cake for my hubby’s birthday and found your recipe. I followed your advice to make the ice cream at home even though I was thinking of getting store ice cream.
      Best advice ever….this is the creamiest, smoothest ice cream I’ve ever had. I opted for cappuccino flavour instead of chocolate by adding some instant coffee during whipping and just did two layers, vanilla and cappuccino. Used chopped Oreos in the middle of the layers.
      We usually get birthday ice cream cakes from DQ but this is WAY better than anything we could have gotten from there! Big Hit, thank you!
