Instructions

For the Funfetti Vanilla Ice Cream Cake

Place a large enough piece of plastic wrap in one of the 2 round baking pans. Set aside (The plastic wrap helps to lift the ice cream out of the pan after it freezes).
Put all your ingredients into a blender except the sprinkles and mix for about one minute.
Pour the vanilla ice cream mixture into the pan and sprinkle the rainbow sprinkles evenly around the mixture. Cover with more plastic wrap and freeze for 4-6 hours.

For the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Place a large enough piece of plastic wrap in the other round baking pan. Set aside.
Put all the ingredients into a blender except the chocolate pieces and mix for about one minute.
Pour the chocolate ice cream mixture into the pan and sprinkle the chocolate pieces evenly around the mixture. Cover with more plastic wrap and freeze for 4-6 hours.

For the Vegan Brownie

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8” round baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder.
Add the rest of the brownie ingredients and continue mixing until well combined.
Next, pour the mixture into the parchment-lined pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set.
Let cool completely before assembling the cake.

Ice Cream Cake Assembly

Melt 1 Evolved Signature Dark Chocolate Bar in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir and set aside for decorating.
Pour 3 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles into a small bowl and set aside for decorating.
Next, place a flat plate on your counter. Take the ice cream cakes out of the freezer. Let them defrost for 5 minutes before assembling.
Carefully unwrap the plastic from the chocolate ice cream and place on the plate.
Next, unwrap the parchment paper from the brownie and carefully stack on top of the chocolate ice cream layer.
Then carefully unwrap the plastic from the vanilla ice cream and place on top of the brownie layer. If the ice cream layers are starting to melt while assembled, place the entire cake back into the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes before resuming decorating.
Take the cake out of the freezer and pour your melted chocolate over the entire top of the cake. Sprinkle the sprinkles in any design you like over the top of the melted chocolate.
Place the cake back into the freezer until you are ready to enjoy.
When ready to serve, take your cake out of the freezer. Let it defrost on your counter for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
