Tips to Make Easy Flag Themed Ice Cream Cake:

  • Make sure the crust is completely cool before assembling the cake.
  • The ice cream needs to be soft and melty — almost soupy — so you can easily spread it.
  • Consider adding the jam to a bowl and stir it up a little so it breaks down a bit.
  • Use frozen yogurt instead of ice cream if you prefer. You could even use raspberry or strawberry ice cream or frozen yogurt instead of vanilla.
  • Swap out strawberries for raspberries, or blueberries for blackberries if you prefer. Use raspberry or strawberry jam instead of blackberry jam.
  • If you’re using frozen whipped topping, make sure it’s thawed so you can easily spread it.

Enjoy the summer season and try this easy flag themed ice cream cake for your next celebration.

Easy Flag Themed Ice Cream Cake is a fun and festive dessert! Easy Flag Themed Ice Cream Cake will be a hit at your next summer party!

Ingredients

  • 3 pints vanilla ice cream, thawed so you can spread it
  • 9 whole graham crackers, divided
  • 3 tablespoons toasted almonds
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/3 cup blackberry jam
  • 3 cups whipped topping
  • 9 fresh blackberries, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Add 6 whole graham crackers, the almonds, and brown sugar to a food processor. As it runs, add in the melted butter. Mix until combined.
  3. Press the graham cracker mixture, firmly and evenly, into the bottom of an 11x8-inch baking dish.
  4. Bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
  5. Spread 1-1/2 pints of ice cream evenly over the crust.
  6. Spoon the blackberry jam evenly over the first layer of ice cream.
  7. Coarsely crumble the remaining graham crackers over the jam to cover it.
  8. Add the remaining ice cream over the crumb layer. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and freeze for at least 2 hours.
  9. Just before serving, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top ice cream layer.
  10. Arrange the blackberries and raspberries on the cake to resemble the flag. Place the blackberries where the stars would be, in the left corner, and use the raspberries to form the stripes.
  11. Serve immediately.
