Kids love ice cream, 365 days out of the year. So why not share this festive Halloween Kit Kat Ice Cream Cake at your next Halloween party?
A few weeks ago I shared a Family Spice fan favorite recipe, my Candy Show Kit Kat Ice Cream Cake. I updated the pictures and created a new video for it. Shortly after I posted the recipe, I was at the store and found the orange and white Halloween kit kats and new I had make a new Halloween kit kat ice cream cake.
My daughter’s birthday is in October, so you would think that my family thought I was crazy to make ANOTHER kit kat ice cream cake a few after making the regular version. But, no. My kids were totally willing and able to enjoy the Halloween version.
It was my husband who rolled his eyes and thought I was crazy. It’s okay. I’m used to that!
The assembly is basically the same for the halloween cake. The main difference is that the orange and white kit kats are only found in the Halloween bags and they are mini sized. This makes them only 3-inches tall verses the normal chocolate kit kats are a bit taller. So I filled the halloween cake with 1.5-quarts of ice cream instead of 2-quarts.
I also picked out the blue M&Ms to keep everything in fall colors: red, orange, yellow, brown and a little green. I added Whoppers and mixed bag of candy corns and pumpkins, and then I was done.
With all of the different flavors and colors of oreos out there, you could switch out the classic oreo with some of the other fun versions.
You can add food coloring to vanilla ice cream or do what I did, and use the green mint chocolate chip. Overall, I think it screams halloween, fun and of course, we all scream for ice cream!
I kept leftovers of this cake in the freezer, since we didn’t have a big party to share the sugar and calories with friends and family. I kept it partially wrapped in plastic wrap so the ice cream wouldn’t dry out. Every time I looked in the freezer, a little wedge would be missing!
My kids thought they were so sneaky…
