Shh! Â My youngest daughter has a birthday coming up and I’ve decided to surprise her with a Salted Caramel Ice Cream Torte. Â
Birthday Cake Time
By the time a child hits his or her mid 20’s, they’ve had every birthday cake imaginable.  And since my daughter’s favorite two things in the world are Blue Bunny Ice Cream and caramel, I decided to forgo a traditional birthday cake and make a frozen birthday torte.
It’s a good thing I had decided on caramel before I wandered down the ice cream aisle at Walmart and opened that freezer door. Â My eyes instantly landed on Blue Bunny Red Velvet – my favorite flavor. Â I had to remind myself that I was skipping right over my birthday this year (it always falls a few days after my daughter’s), so I grabbed the Caramel Fudge Brownie. Â It’s the perfect flavor for Caitlin’s birthday torte.
An ice cream torte sounds fancy, but it’s not that hard to make. Â Actually, it’s much easier than baking a birthday cake. Â It’s also the ultimate looks-like-I-fussed-but-I-didn’t dessert. Â All the hard work has been done by Blue Bunny. Â All I have to do is make a shortbread cookie crust and start the layering process.
For this dessert, I searched high and low for my tart pan with a removable bottom. Â I finally found it way up in the cabinet over the refrigerator. Â If you don’t have a tart pan, you can use a pie pan OR a deep dish pre-made cookie crust. Or, you can buy the one below by using my affiliate link at no extra cost to you.
How to Make an Ice Cream Torte
Use a food processor to crush the shortbread cookies into fine crumbs. Add 1/4 cup of melted butter and pulsed a few times.
Press the cookie crumbs into the tart pan. Add the softened Blue Bunny ice cream, cover it and place in the freezer overnight. Â Before serving, drizzle with caramel. Lightly sprinkled a dash of sea salt over the caramel. Â Ta-da! Â It’s so easy, but oh, so good!
Salted Caramel Ice Cream Torte
Ingredients
- 1/2 Gallon Blue Bunny Caramel Fudge Brownie Ice Cream
- 1 package shortbread cookies (11.2 oz)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Caramel Ice Cream Topping
- Sea Salt
Instructions
- Remove Blue Bunny Ice Cream from the freezer for about 10 minutes to soften.
- Place shortbread cookies in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs.
- Add melted butter and pulse a few times to combine.
- Press cookie crumbs into a tart pan with removable bottom (or use a pie plate).
- Spread ice cream over cookie crust. You probably won't need the entire carton.
- Press down, cover and place in freezer overnight.
- A few minutes before serving, remove torte from the freezer, drizzle with caramel topping and sprinkle with a dash of sea salt.
Notes
If you're using a tart pan with a removable bottom, hold the bottom of the pan with one hand and gently push up. The sides should slide right off.
It’s a good thing I didn’t need the entire carton of Blue Bunny Caramel Fudge Brownie Ice Cream for my torte. Â I could have sworn that I had hidden it behind the chicken nuggets AND the frozen ground beef. But someone found it.
This Torte is so Good and so Easy!
I do believe this is one of the best recipes I’ve ever created. When you bite into the torte, you immediately taste the lightly salted caramel, followed by a burst of caramel fudge brownie ice cream and the crisp, not-too-sweet shortbread crust. Â Y’all, this is some seriously good stuff. The flavors compliment each other beautifully.
Blue Bunny is definitely my family’s favorite ice cream and Red Velvet is my #1 choice. Â To keep up with the latest, join me in following Blue Bunny on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest & Instagram.
