I saw a post on Saturday for a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake where the ice cream, when melted, takes the place of the wet ingredients, except for eggs. I found the recipe and made the cake, but now I have a question; does it need to be refrigerated? Do the "spoiling" qualities of the ice cream "cook out" or remain? I don't want to make anyone, especially my family, sick. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

And, just in case you are interested, I used Coffee Fudge Brownie ice cream with chocolate frosting. It was YUMMY!!!

Ice cream is generally what? Eggs, milk and sugar? If you put eggs and milk in a cake and baked it, then you wouldn't have to worry about putting it in the fridge.

So my uneducated answer, would be that it is fine left out.

Thanks for your uneducated guess...LOL I thought the same thing.
