Red White & Blue Ice Cream Cake

I’m so excited to be participating in a fun Red, White and Blue themed blog hop today! I’m sharing one of my favorite Summer party recipes, along with almost 100 other great ideas!

This ice cream cake is a spin off of my number one, all-time most popular post: Copycat DQ Ice Cream Cake I wanted to create a red, white and blue version of it – but my dilemma was, not wanting to lose what makes the DQ cake so great… the layer of gooey chocolaty cookie goodness! I thought about how easy it would be to get vanilla flavored cookies and dye them with food coloring or use blue moon ice cream with vanilla. But, I wanted to use chocolate – because what would an ice cream cake be without chocolate?
