Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream by It Bakes Me Happy

Hi all! While I’m down in Miami having loads of fun and eating tons of food at BlogHer food, my good pal Emily is taking over the blog to share her delicious ice cream recipe!

Easy, no-churn Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream is bursting with roasted strawberry flavors and chunks of delicious pound cake.

Hello This Gal Cooks readers! I’m Emily from It Bakes Me Happy, I’m a self professed chocoholic with a serious sweet tooth and an ever growing love of spending time in the kitchen. Today I am so excited to be sharing this Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream with you all, it’s the perfect dessert for the hot summer days that lie ahead.

I love a good scoop of chocolate ice cream pretty much anytime of the year, but in the hot summer months I am partial to something a little more fruity. This strawberry shortcake ice cream is smooth and creamy, with bits of pound cake and a delicious roasted strawberry swirl. Plus the best part about this recipe is how easy it is to make – it’s no cook and to top it all off you don’t need an ice cream maker!

A couple of months ago I made a double batch of our favorite pound cake and stashed a couple of slices away in my freezer knowing that I was going to make some variation of a strawberry shortcake ice cream soon and boy am I so glad that I did. I just loved the different textures and flavors packed into each bite of this ice cream, I hope you will too!
