I just had the best kitchen accident ever!! I made a Keto Melted Ice Cream Cake (actually, it’s more like sweet bread to be honest)!
Why is it an accident? Well, I started to take a spoonful of the Keto Birthday Cake Halo Top Ice Cream. I wasn’t too fond of the taste or the flavor. I was just about to put it back in the freezer when I was interrupted. I forgot to put it back in the freezer and it melted! Ice cream never tastes the same after it’s completely melted and then put back in the freezer. Those little pints of Halo Top Ice cream are not cheap either!
I remembered a non keto recipe we made a long time ago. It was a melted ice cream cake recipe that was made in a bundt pan. It was made with only 3 ingredients!! It was a mixture of 2 cups of vanilla flavored ice cream along with 1 box cake mix and 3 eggs. I remember it being incredibly good so I decided to make a Keto melted ice cream cake out of my melted ice cream! I wasn’t about to let that ice cream go to waste. Not. A. Chance!
Baking anything keto tends to be a bit of a challenge. The flours that are keto friendly can either be too dry or too grainy. Plus, you always need to add some baking powder to make it rise and some eggs to bind the ingredients. It shouldn’t be that hard, right?!
First thing I want you to know is that I used the regular Keto Halo Top Ice Cream. Not the dairy free Halo Top Ice Cream. There is a difference and each blend would come out different in the recipe. Make sure you get the regular not diary free option if you plan to make this birthday cake sweet bread.
The other thing I need to mention are the sprinkles. These sprinkles are not keto friendly. They do make keto friendly sprinkles but they are not as vibrant in color. You can make this recipe without any sprinkles at all if you choose. The sprinkles are totally optional!

Bake the Melted Ice Cream Cake sweet bread for the time suggested. Do a toothpick test to make sure it’s done. Poke a toothpick in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean, it’s done. If not, continue baking it at 5 minutes at a time until it’s done.

- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup butter, room temperature

While the cake is baking, add the glaze ingredients to a bowl and mix it with a hand mixer on high until it’s fully combined.
Frost the cake while it’s still slightly warm.
Here are a few photos we took!
It was fantastic! In fact, it was so good, that we made another!! This is the next cake we made in the mini bread loaf pans. The cake was put on the top rack of the oven and that’s what gave it that golden brown soft crust on top! It was delightful! You don’t need sprinkles but the sprinkles are fun!
