It's hard to find a summer dessert more refreshing than this easy no-bake strawberry ice cream cake, made with a combination of strawberry ice cream and a purchased 10-inch angel food cake! Layers of cake and ice cream, frosted with a purchased frozen whipped topping, are stored in the freezer until you are ready to garnish and slice. This ice cream cake should keep, covered, in the freezer for 1 to 2 weeks. I've never been able to find out exactly how long it will store, because it's usually gone in a few days!
Ingredients
- 1 prepared angel food cake , 10 inch
- 2 pintss strawberry ice cream
- 1 frozen whipped topping , thawed

Remove packaging from the ice cream; slice about 1 inch thick. Place ice cream slices on bottom cake layer, filling the gaps with ice cream and leaving the center unfilled. Press ice cream pieces together to form a solid layer the same size as the cake layer. Repeat with second cake layer and remaining ice cream. Top with final cake layer; freeze until ice cream is firm again, about 1 hour.

Lemony Marshmallow Glaze
Tried this when I didn't have any confectioners' sugar. I poured this over an angel food cake and had a few tablespoons left over. My husband almost ate the entire cake and spooned the leftover glaze onto his slices. Would also recommend this for pound cake, sponge cake, and cookies.
Peppermint Buttercream Frosting
An easy, mint-flavored frosting. You can substitute 4 to 6 tablespoons creme de menthe syrup for the peppermint extract and milk, if desired.
Chili-Topped Potato Soup
Soup favorites, chunky chili and cheesy-smooth potato soup, balance each other in this marriage of spicy and mild.
