Lulu Powers Ice Cream Cake Flower Pots

I adore all things Lulu.

In fact celebrity caterer Lulu Powers book,   

Lulu Powers From Food To Flowers has become my

entertaining bible. Endless great recipes and cool ideas to wow your guests with.

Anyhoo,  Lulu Powers blog had this fabulous idea 

for ice-cream.

I’m re-posting it today as I  plan on using it this weekend 

for a party I’m throwing….

 July Is National Ice Cream Month

Thanks to President Ronald Reagan, we now have an excuse to consume
even more ice cream in this month than any other months in the year. In
1984, President Reagan deemed July the National Ice Cream Month and hey,
I’m not complaining! In celebration of this steamy month, I’m whipping
up my Ice Cream Cake Flower Pots.
They’re easy with a touch of whimsy.
And most of all they’ll keep you cool on these hot summer days.

• 4-6 3” or 4” terracotta flower pots
• 1 Devils Food cake mix, baked and crumbled into pieces
• Your favorite ice cream
• 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup water
• Mix-ins: mini oreos, crushed oreos, heath bars, M&M’s, Reese’s pieces, any chocolate or caramel candies.

Put chips, cream and water in heavy small saucepan. Cook on low
stirring until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat. Place cake at
bottom of pot, layer some ice cream then chocolate sauce. Continue
layering with cake, ice cream and chocolate. The number of layers will
depend on how big your pots are. Mix-ins can go in anytime or on top.
Have fun with it and share your own creations with me via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LuluPowersFoodtoFlowers  TIP:
Run a short straw through the middle of the pot and feed a flower threw
it. Voile! Your edible flower pot is complete. Just be sure to eat it
before it melts!
