Notes

  • The pints of ice cream can all be the same flavor, or pick 2-4 different flavors, if you'd like!
  • Nutritional information provided does not include the optional toppings.
  • If you’re not planning to eat the cakes within 24 hours of making them, place them in an airtight container or plastic freezer bag to prevent freezer burn on the ice cream.
  • The ice cream cakes will stay good in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag for 2 months.
  • When making the cupcakes, if you do not have four muffin tins, simply prepare the cupcakes in batches, either 12 at a time with one muffin tin or 24 at a time with two muffin tins.
