Gluten free ice cream cake made with a simple vanilla semifreddo. It only takes 4 ingredients, and there’s no ice cream machine required!
I’ve got gluten free ice cream fever. It’s summertime, baby. And it’s steamy hot! We gotta beat the heat, or it’s gonna beat us. This ice cream cake is made from a vanilla semifreddo, which means what you think it means. That it freezes semi-solid. You know what that means? Smooth, creamy ice cream cake, in whatever shape you like. And since we control the sugar, it only has 1/2 cup in the whole recipe.

This is not to suggest that I do not adore the easy gluten free vanilla ice cream we made. Or the gluten free chocolate mousse ice cream (all without a machine). I do. Adore them. But this one is just, well, lower in sugar so it’s less sweet but still totally decadent.
And making it is as easy as 1-2-3-4. The egg yolk and sugar mixture is cooked gently over a double boiler until it becomes pale and thicker, and then beaten until it doubles in volume. Whipped cream is whisked in, and then
Whipped cream is whisked in, and then whole big beautiful mixture is poured into a loaf pan (lined with plastic wrap, so you can lift it right out).
This ice cream cake has all sorts of possibilities (and flavor combos coming your way). Carvel has nothin’ on us. Stay cool, friends!
HELLO! I’m Nicole! I make gluten-free food enjoyable & affordable. If they can make it with gluten, we can make it without. That’s a promise!

[…] in the U.S., you can get in a lot of trouble if you don’t serve this dessert with some gluten-free ice cream. A la mode is, like, the law in the summertime. Don’t be a law breaker. Serve this cobbler up […]

Now way! Gluten-free Ice Cream cake?! Love this recipe… I honestly didn’t think this was possible and now am so inspired to try it. Thanks so much for this must-try summer treat :)
Sigh….now I have to make the crushed cookie center…layer…top with whipped cream frosting and possibly find a good shaped pan to make it fancy….I’m gonna weigh 400lbs if you keep this up lady!!!!! But I’ll be smiling and full of GF Goodness! I have both your books & pre-ordered the 3rd. My family bows to your greatness!
I’ve always wanted to try making semifreddo. Thanks for the recipe!
OMG – every day it just gets better and better. Love this recipe. Thank you, thank you for sharing it with us! :)
I had no idea this could be done!!! Unfortunately, I am also lactose intolerant, but I will be trying this with coconut cream rather than whipping cream… I’ll let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed :) If it doesn’t work at least my family will be able to eat the original version. Looks so great!
I see an actual ice cream cake in my future! Haven’t been able to eat on in years, so this is exciting stuff!
I love you <3
