Cake/Ice Cream Desserts From a Freezer Tray

This is less of a recipe and more of a starting point for frozen dessert creativity.

Mix ice cream with a splash of sherry, pour it into a freezer tray, and freeze for about 3 hours. That’s it.

The sherry adds a subtle warmth and prevents the mixture from freezing rock-hard, keeping the texture scoopable.

From there, the recipe invites you to toss in whatever sounds good: crushed cookies, chopped pecans, almonds, chocolate chips, fresh berries, or crumbled cake.

Think of it as a blank canvas for a semi-homemade frozen treat that’s a step above plain ice cream but requires almost zero effort.

Variations

• Chocolate Pecan: Stir in chopped pecans and chocolate chips before freezing.
• Almond Amaretto: Swap sherry for amaretto and fold in toasted sliced almonds.
• Berry Shortcake: Crumble leftover cake into the mix with fresh strawberries or raspberries.
