ice cream cake with candlesTaste a flavor from my freezer, you will surely ask for more. ~Jack Pretlusky

You know those recipes you make up in your head?

The ones that sound so good, but need serious work before they even come close to what you imagined? (Like that artichoke and spinach potato dish that may never make it to print!)

This is not one of those.

This came together just right, and is maybe even better than I thought it would be.

It’s an ice cream cake, so you can make it well in advance of any special occasion – and it’s way cheaper to make at home than to buy.

It’s chocolate and caramel surrounding peanut butter ice cream. 

What more is there to say?

Oh – just this: you can use caramel sauce from a jar, but if you have time try this one from Cake Central. You can store any extra in the fridge.
