Rainbow Sherbet Ice Cream Cake By Kelly Miller • April5,2017 • Updated March 5, 2020 • 2 Comments 1.2K 31 Jump to Recipe This Rainbow Sherbet Ice Cream Cake is SO EASY! Frozen pound cake slices, softened raspberry, lime, and orange sherbet, and whipped topping – this is perfect for spring! I’m going to be completely honest with you here, and if you haven’t figured this out so far as a Mostly Homemade Mom fan you’ll know it now – I’m OBSESSED with desserts that are super easy, but look super impressive. I don’t know about your situation right now, but I have 3 little boys, a husband, a house to take care of, and full time at home job to keep and I just don’t have time to mess with things that are going to take a while in the kitchen. Can I hear an AMEN?! I will often find something at my local grocery outlet that I immediately pick up because I just know there’s something creative I can use with it. I’ve used frozen Sara Lee pound cake in quite a few recipes around here, so I snagged it on a good deal just waiting for inspiration. And this amazing Rainbow Sherbet Ice Cream Cake turned out absolutely perfect! Seriously, the only skill involved is slicing the pound cake and leaving the sherbet on the counter to soften. That’s it, I swear! Because the frozen pound cake come packaged in a foil container, you just pack it back into the foil container with the layers of ice cream, and pop it back into the freezer – no other dirty dishes besides the serving plate. If you have a kiddo’s birthday coming up in your family, I guarantee they would LOVE seeing this come out with candles on top! This cake is super easy to customize with your favorite sherbet flavors. I have always had a soft spot for classic orange sherbet, so whichever is your favorite flavor, you could certainly just use all of that flavor instead – you just wouldn’t have the rainbow effect.

Michelle says June 28, 2018 at 1:48 pm Hi Kelly My kids love sherbert and I am thinking about trying this for their birthday. It seems simple, and that is what I need. I am wondering how it fits back into the container the cake came in? Is there that much extra room? Reply
Kelly Miller says June 29, 2018 at 2:20 pm There is a bit of extra room in the original foil package, but the top layer will sit on top of the container a bit – it still works really well! I hope your kids love this cake, my Wesley saw me commenting here and asked me when I was going to make it again for him – ha! 🙂 Reply
