Can ice cream cake be healthy? Perhaps if it’s made with dark chocolate. I make this ice cream cake frequently, but this is the first time I’ve attempted it with Hershey’s special dark cocoa. It really makes it richer and more delicious. This easy ice cream cake is always a hit and it makes a 9×13 pan. People are always amazed that it’s homemade. The recipe has been adapted from William Sonoma so you know it’s good.
I start by mixing the dry ingredients and liquid ingredients separately. I used special dark cocoa. Pour the batter in a 9×13 pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes.
Look how dark and delicioius this looks. Cool completely, about thirty minutes. Soften ice cream for about 15 minutes of your choice and drop by scoops onto the cooled cake.
Smooth ice cream with a large spoon or spatula. Freeze a few hours OR you can go ahead and place the whipping cream on top if you work quickly (place it back in the freezer while you make it).
Whip cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
I am all for it! Healthy ice cream cake. The cut view of the cake is gorgeous. We would love every bite of this. I have tried the dark Hersheys before but need to go and get some more! Yum. Thanks for sharing at Tasty Tuesday. (I always check out all the fab desserts first!)
Me too, try the naughty nice brownies with it. yummy and healthy 2.
I love Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Cocoa and Chips!! I use this cake recipe too — love the ice cream cake. Thanks for sharing the dark chocolate version.
How did your stromboli go? I’d love to hear about it. Are you using the dough for other items? Once you get the hang of it, you’ll love it and use it for everything. I’m hooked for life.
