 STEP 1: 

To make this cotton candy ice cream cake, I started by cutting 12 Twinkies in half.

I sprayed a 9 x 13 inch baking dish well with cooking spray.

I placed the Twinkies in the baking dish spreading them out as evenly as possible.

 STEP 2: 

I scooped a tub of softened cotton candy ice cream over the Twinkies.

Then I spread the ice cream out evenly and gently pressed it down to fill the gaps in between the Twinkies.

 STEP 3: 

I spooned some Cool Whip over the ice cream.

I spread the Cool Whip evenly over the ice cream.

Then I covered the baking dish and placed it in the freezer.

 STEP 4: 

When I was ready to serve the ice cream cake I removed it from the freezer.

I sprinkled some pieces of blue and pink cotton candy on top.

I also topped it with some cotton candy coloured sprinkles.

Then the cotton candy ice cream cake was ready to slice and serve.

This colourful no bake treat is the perfect dessert for hot weather.

The Twinkies add a delightful cake element to this cotton candy ice cream dessert.

This easy 5 ingredient no bake dessert is perfect for when you are short on prep time.

Just whip it together and keep it in the freezer until ready to serve.

FAQS:

How should I store Cotton Candy Ice Cream Cake?

Store your ice cream cake in an airtight container in the freezer and consume within 2 weeks for optimal freshness.

Can I make this ahead?

You could prepare this ice cream cake up to a few days before your event and store it in an airtight container in the freezer. Wait to top with the cotton candy and sprinkles until right before serving.

Why should I put the cotton candy on top right before serving?

I placed the cotton candy on top of the cake right before serving because it will dissolve on top of the Cool Whip once it is placed in the freezer. It will still look and taste fine after freezing but won’t have the classic fluffy cotton candy look.
