Raspberry Almond Fudge Ice Cream Cake

Raspberry Almond Fudge Ice Cream Cake is a sweet cold and creamy dessert. It’s loaded with chopped almonds, fresh raspberries, and chocolate fudge swirls.

We have a week of one hundred degree weather ahead, and this Raspberry Almond Fudge Ice Cream Cake is the perfect dessert to cool you down on hot summer days.  The thing that I love most about this ice cream cake is definitely the delicious combination of the raspberries, almonds, and frozen hot fudge!  But I also am crazy about 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).

This mix may actually be 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!

Raspberry Almond Fudge Ice Cream Cake

Ingredients

• 2 c. crushed graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 c. melted butter
• 1/2 gallon carton vanilla ice cream softened
• 1/2 gallon carton raspberry sherbet softened
• 1 c. roasted almonds chopped
• 2 c. fresh raspberries reserve some for garnish
• 1 1/2 c. hot fudge

Instructions

1. In a 9x13 in pan (or tupperware container) mix together the crushed graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press evenly into the bottom of the pan to make the crust.
2. In a really large bowl, mix together the ice cream and sherbet, then stir in the almonds and gently stir in the raspberries (reserve a few for garnish). Pour mixture into the 9x13 pan but do not over- fill. Save any excess filling in a separate container.
3. Warm hot fudge and pour over the top of the filling. I like to swirl it in a little using a butter knife.
4. Put dessert in freezer and freeze for at least an hour or until ready to serve.
5. Cut and garnish with reserved raspberries.
