  • Fill the carrot portion of the mold with orange chocolate and the stem portion of the mold with the green chocolate. Let it set up for 20 minutes, remove the ice cream cake from the freezer, then pop out the chocolate carrots and place evenly out on top of the cool whip layer of your ice cream cake.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • The chocolate carrots are optional but an adorable touch! If you don't want to make them, that's fine. You could substitute carrot shaped sprinkles.
  • If you wanted to make the chocolate carrots but don't want to mess with food coloring, buy orange and green candy melts instead. They melt the same way and require less work.
  • You want to let the cake thaw slightly before slicing into it so it's not too hard when you go to cut it.
