If you've recently hosted a birthday party, don't toss the cake scraps just yet.

"I always love to have my cake and eat it, too!" said Elisabeth Mincin, an American recipe developer and food photographer at Waiting for Blancmange. She's based in Britain.

"This recipe was created as an idea for using up leftover cake and is a great way to repurpose some store-bought cake slices, giving them a whole new life as a fun ice cream," she said.

Combine heavy cream, condensed milk and vanilla along with that leftover cake you've been holding onto and make this special treat. (Liz Mincin | Waiting for Blancmange)

Instructions

  1. Add the cream, condensed milk and vanilla to a large bowl. Using a handheld electric whisk or a standing mixer, whisk together the ingredients until thickened to the consistency of whipped cream.
  2. Crumble up your cake and add to the cream mixture, folding to incorporate.
  3. Pour the mixture into a long baking tin or other freezer safe container and place in the freezer until set — usually at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Let sit out of the freezer for about 15 minutes before scooping for the easiest serving!
