Low Calorie Ice Cream Cake

Brandon turned 27 last week and since we’ve been dieting I decided to try to make him a healthier ice cream cake. I mean, you’ve gotta have some kind of cake on your birthday right??

So he’s not really one for healthy dessert alternatives, and was not that excited to try this cake. I did try my best to keep that in mind when making it and really only taking out the calories that were, I guess necessary? I don’t know.

Anyways, it was a success 🙂 He really liked it!

He really likes cookies and cream, so I used Halo Top cookies and cream and vanilla ice creams and made a cookies and cream graham cracker crust. The result was super delicious and only like 170 calories per serving.

I used about 1 tablespoon of butter for the crust. I do feel like mine was a little more crumbly than I wanted so I’d recommend adding more like 1.5-2 tablespoons.

You can also find the cookies and cream cookie butter that I used with the link below. It’s super great for making lower calorie foods taste amazing!

Toggle ingredient group

• Low Calorie Whip Cream

Instructions

1. Set out both ice creams to thaw for about 20 minutes before you start.
2. Crush the graham crackers and mix together with 1 Tablespoon of the protein cookie butter powder and the oat flour.
3. Melt the butter and add the the graham cracker mix.
4. Press cracker and butter mix into the bottom of a 6 inch spring form cake pan. If you want your cake to be taller go with a smaller pan, if you want it thinner go with a larger pan. A spring form pan is important to get your pieces to cut properly.
5. Spread the vanilla ice cream onto the top of the crust. If you want to make sure the layers don't mix, you can freeze this layer for 30 minutes before doing the next step.
6. Mix the other tablespoon of the cookie powder into the cookies and cream ice cream then spread the mixture on top of the vanilla ice cream.
7. Sprinkle with dark chocolate, if using, and freeze for about 4 hours or until hardened.
8. Remove the spring form, cut into 6 pieces, and serve with whipped cream.
9. Enjoy!
