The Delicious, 4-Ingredient Ice Cream Cake

Sweet Treats

First things first, Thank God It's Friday!

Now, onto the sweet treat for today: Food Network's Ice Cream Sandwich Cake...

Warning: this cake is so delicious it will start a raging party in your mouth.

Before I start rambling about how incredibly yummy (and easy to make) this cake is, I must give credit where credit is due. My aunt, Lori, whipped up this masterpiece for my grandma's birthday in May...

Meet my beautiful grandma and adorable little cousin.

The cake was obviously devoured, so I needed the recipe. Much to my amazement, there is NO BAKING INVOLVED! Without further ado...

Fungredients:

• 10, 3.5-ounce rectangular vanilla ice cream sandwiches
• 1 pint ice cream flavor number one (ie. strawberry), slightly melted so it's easy to spread
• 1 pint ice cream flavor number two (ie. chocolate), slightly melted so it's easy to spread
• 3/4 cup finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies (or any cookie if you want to get creative)
• Chocolate shell topping

(For those of you who don't know what chocolate shell syrup is)

Recipe:

-Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with aluminum foil (leaving an overhand on all top-edges of the pan).

-Arrange 5 ice cream sandwiches snugly on the bottom of the pan.

Yummy!

-Spread the first flavor of ice cream (we used strawberry) in an even layer on top of the ice cream sandwiches.

-Press the remaining 5 ice cream sandwiches on top of the strawberry ice cream.

-Spread the second flavor of ice cream evenly over the second layer of sandwiches.

-Top with an even layer of crushed cookie and press gently.

-Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze until the cake sets (minimum 2 hours).

-Take cake out of the freezer, uncover, and lift the foil to remove the cake from the loaf pan. Invert the cake onto a platter (cookie crumb side down).

-Remove the foil and spread chocolate shell topping over the cake. Serve immediately or cover and keep frozen!

Our finished product!

Melty ice cream layers with a cookie crust!

Not only does this cake taste amazing, but you can get pretty creative and customize the cake by changing the ice cream flavors and type of cookie crust. You can even top the cake with some crumbled candy or sprinkles! Next time, I am going to layer some Cookies&Cream ice cream with Health Bar ice cream, use Oreos for the crust, and top with crushed Health Bar. Can you say YUM?!
