Ice-Cream Cake Roll

Submitted by Queen Dana

"This was published in the feb 2009 issue of Family Circle. Try to use good quality ice cream, when I make this I usually use vanilla instead of mint. The freeze time is not included in the prep time; I've gotten away with only freezing for 2 hours."

Easy recipe, bakes in 10-12 minutes, and comes very close to the ice cream cake roll I used to buy but can't find anymore. Thank you!

This is a great cake roll I filled mine with Peppermint Stick ice cream soooo good. Will be making this for dessert for Christmas Eve. Thanks for a easy and delicious recipe

This recipe is easy to follow, the texture of the cake was just right. It is also perfect for any variation of ice cream alternatives. I used peanut butter ice cream, and a caramel drizzle. My guests loved it.

Absolutely disgusting. The cake was dry because there is no butter or any fat in the recipe. The cake cracked all over the place and the instructions were not very thorough. Do not recommend to any unless you are into gross things like this dessert. I suggest to look for better recipes on websites or cookbooks that are reliable like dorie Greenspan, serious eats, smitten kitchen, etc. Please don't waste your time with this.
