SERVES: 6

PREP: 5 Min

You don't need to turn on your oven to make an angelic dessert! Our recipe for Ice Cream Angel Squares is the perfect no-bake dessert for those warm-weather months.

What You'll Need

2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 (10-1/2-ounce) angel food cake loaf
1 (3.5-ounce) jar macadamia nuts, chopped (see note)
1 quart vanilla ice cream
3/4 to 1 cup chocolate sauce
3/4 to 1 cup caramel sauce

What to Do

Dissolve coffee granules in 2 teaspoons hot water.
Beat butter at medium speed with an electric beater until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add coffee, and beat until spreading consistency.
Trim crust from cake. Cut cake into 6 (2-1/2-inch by 1-inch) squares. Spread frosting on top and sides of squares; roll in nuts. Top with ice cream, and drizzle with sauces.

Notes

We love the rich, buttery flavor that the macadamia nuts give to this angelic dessert, but dry-roasted peanuts will work just as well. You'll want to use 3/4 cup of chopped peanuts in place of the jar of macadamia nuts.
