Vanilla Ice Cream Dot Cake

A frozen twist on the viral dot cake trend. Homemade vanilla ice cream is layered between slices of funfetti cake, coated in colorful dot sprinkles, and frozen until perfectly scoopable.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare and bake the funfetti cake according to the package directions. Let cool completely.
2. Using a drinking glass or 3-inch round cutter, cut 4–6 circles from the cake. Carefully slice each circle in half horizontally to create thin cake layers.
3. Add the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the InstantChill™ Mixing Bowl.
4. Select the Ice Cream Program and set for 20 minutes.
5. Optional: When there are 3 minutes remaining, add 1–2 tablespoons of rainbow nonpareils through the Mix-In window on the lid.
6. Once the program is complete, assemble the dot cakes right away. Place one cake layer into the bottom of the same drinking glass used to cut the cake rounds. Add about 2 tablespoons of vanilla ice cream and spread into an even layer.
7. Add another cake layer, followed by another 2 tablespoons of ice cream. Continue layering cake and ice cream until the glass is full, finishing with a layer of ice cream on top.
8. Transfer the glasses to the freezer and freeze for 2–3 hours, or until firm.
9. Spread the rainbow dot sprinkles onto a small plate. Remove the cakes from the freezer and carefully turn each glass upside down onto the sprinkles, gently pressing the exposed ice cream into the sprinkles until coated.
10. Turn the glasses upright and enjoy straight from the glass.
