Raspberry Almond Fudge Ice Cream Cake

When summer heat strikes, cool off with this decadent Raspberry Almond Fudge Ice Cream Cake. The fresh, juicy raspberries pair so beautifully with crunchy almonds and frozen “hot” fudge.I love how easy it is to throw together, how pretty it looks, and how it can feed a crowd (or hide in your freezer and be there for you whenever you need it). We often make this for our friends or family who celebrate birthdays during the summer. It’s beautiful, rich, fun to eat and share with others.

Tips for Making Raspberry Fudge Ice Cream Cake

This ice cream cake mix will make more than your 9×13 inch pan can handle. In the past I have just saved some of the leftover filling in a container to eat like ice cream. This time I made it in a large 9×13 size tupperware container. It has sides that go up much higher than my glass pan and I was able to get all the filling in. Not to mention, it stored better in a tupperware container in the freezer and worked nicely to have the removable lid. I will definitely be making it this way from now on!
