I’ve always been a huge fan of ice cream. I used to not be super particular about the brand or flavor of ice cream. Then I started being a little pickier about what I ate – it was only the BEST ice cream. Everyone raved about Blue Bunny® ice cream (have you seen all the flavors they have??), but I hadn’t ever tried it. Until now….

Then, life got a little bit better, because Blue Bunny ice cream is kind of the best. We hit up our local Walmart and spotted something new: A Blue Bunny ice cream cake – ready to go and gorgeous (you can find them online or in store!).

I grew up with an ice cream cake, so this Blue Bunny® ice cream cake intrigued me. Plus, it was vanilla bean. MMMM!

Also, I think I might have the cutest shopping buddy in the whole world. If I had to guess what she was thinking here, I’d definitely put my money on, “ICE CREAM IN MY MOUTH NOW!”

And this one – you can’t see, but I might’ve snagged a few extra flavors of Blue Bunny® – because decisions are hard and adulting is awesome, so I bought all of them. Done!

First things first, I had to check out this Blue Bunny® ice cream cake. If you wanted to serve it as is, that would totally work. It was READY to go, and oh-so-pretty! It had vanilla bean frosting, a layer with blondies, and whipped cream frosting the entire cake.

I’m crazy. I decided that much Blue Bunny® goodness needed a good home. A yummy cake home. A peanut butter cake home. You feel me?

Also, no judgement …. I might’ve had a few (ok more than a few) bites of the new 2017 Blue Bunny® flavors. Cookies and Cream had my heart for that minute, but their 2017 line up looks incredible, that includes: Bunny Snacks™, Salted Caramel Pretzel, Chocolate Vanilla Twist, Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Ok, onto this cake – because I’m really proud of how pretty it turned out and it was NOT that much work. Wow your guests at your next party with very little work. I’m all about that!

Are you ready for the steps?
1. Bake cake of choice (peanut butter cake recipe will be listed below)
2. Buy Blue Bunny® ice cream cake of choice. (There are two flavors to choose from!)
3. Combine baked cake with Blue Bunny ice cream cake.
4. Frost with stabilized whipped cream. (Here’s Ashlee’s recipe for stabilized whipped cream!!)

And VOILA – DONE!

You can go as crazy or easy as you want.

I went a little nuts and evened out my layers of ice cream to cake – totally not necessary, but I did it. I also used my stabilized whipped cream to pipe little decorations around the edges. Last, I cut up the full-sized blondie that came on the Blue Bunny® ice cream cake into small pieces and used them as decor on the piped edges.

And there you have it! EASY PEASY!

One of my favorite parts were the sneaky pieces of blondie hiding inside the ice cream cake. So chewy and subtle – it was really quite delicious. And the flavor combinations are endless – what would you try??
