Get your favorite summer cake shipped right to your door.
If there’s one dessert that perfectly encapsulates all the magic of summertime, it’s ice cream cake. Eating a slice of the layered, frozen creations is one of our favorite ways to beat the heat.

Though everyone has their favorite, not all ice cream cakes are the same. Some are loaded up with mix-ins like cookie and candy pieces and chocolate crunchies, while others are all about showcasing different flavors of ice cream. No matter which camp you fall into, we found delicious ice cream cakes you can buy online right now. Whether you buy one to enjoy all by yourself or you send it over to your cookout hosting-friends, these eight frozen desserts are the total summer treat!
According to the owners of Sugarhill Creamery, people travel all across New York City to get their hands on a scoop of the shop’s blueberry cheesecake-flavored ice cream. The luscious choice, which contains swirls of velvety cream cheese inside it, also makes up the filling of this creamy frozen dessert. Like traditional cheesecakes, this one-of-a-kind treat also features a crunchy graham cracker crust and is topped with a thick gelée made from, you guessed it, blueberries! If you're someone who loves to end all your summer cookouts with a refreshing fruit dessert, be sure to place an order now!
Slice into this wake-up stack for a creamy surprise. These funny desserts — which are the brainchild of South Carolina's only chef-driven ice cream truck, Life Raft Treats — are a nice handheld alternative to traditional ice cream cakes. This waffle cake serves eight to 10, and features delicious waffle ice cream with a sweet berry jam center. Even better — the "maple syrup" is really caramel and the berries and butter are really white chocolate. The brand's ice cream "chicken drumsticks" are also quite the hoot!
Everything's better when it's smaller, including ice cream cake! You'll find 12 mini ones inside this nostalgic set from Williams Sonoma, which contains two distinct flavors: Baked Alaska and Creme Brulée. Both versions come with a fluffy layer of genoise sponge cake at the bottom and a golden brown topping made from either torched meringue or crunchy caramelized sugar. The Baked Alaska flavor also contains two layers of classic vanilla and strawberry ice creams, while the Creme Brulée has a delicate crème anglaise one.
At Brooklyn-based scoop shop Malai, ice cream is more than just a once-a-season treat, it's a catalyst for showing off globally-sourced ingredients in new and unexpected ways. The shop's artisan ice cream cakes are the perfect example of this; like this cake inspired by the founder's favorite dessert, gulab jamun, which combines cardamom flavored, saffron syrup-soaked cakes with the shop's signature Rose with Cinnamon Roasted Almonds ice cream.
You probably grew up eating Carvel ice cream cakes like the one pictured above. We know we did! The triple-layered desserts are always a hit with kids and the chocolate crunchies found inside them are by far one of the best mix-ins ever created. This Lil' Love version can feed up to five people and features vanilla and chocolate ice creams on the inside and a creamy whipped icing pipped around it.
Instagram's favorite sprinkle explosion cake got a summer makeover. Just like the OG, this multicolored dessert features a fun surprise at its center made up entirely of frozen funfetti-flavored ice cream. The bakery also offers a six pack of ice cream sandwiches, if you prefer to eat the frozen dessert housed between two sugar cookies.
Okay, okay, you caught us. Though these pies from Graeter's Ice Cream *technically* aren't ice cream cakes, it's still totally worth spending your money on this summer. If the pie's silky French Pot ice cream filling (the company's most famous dessert and the only shop in the world with a French Pot Freezer) and crispy chocolate graham cracker crust aren't enough to convince you to add it to your cart, maybe this will: you can choose two of three mouth-watering flavors to ship. Between Black Raspberry Chip, Buckeye Blitz and Butter Pecan Turtle, it will be the hardest decision you make all summer.
This Carvel ice cream cake is made with layers of rich decadent chocolate and sweet vanilla ice cream, irresistible chocolate Crunchies, and topped with gourmet icing. This delicious ice cream cake is the combination of a chocolate and ice cream lovers dream. A perfect dessert for a birthday celebration or weekend treat.
