Who wouldn't love a piece of this refreshing ice cream cake on a hot summer night...and I mean who are we kidding, any night is a good time for ice cream. And this is super simple and quick, your family will think you worked all afternoon. Why disappointe them...let them think you did.
Here are the ingredients you will need for this dessert:
1 box of ice cream sandwiches, 12 count
1 large container whipped topping,thawed
2 Hershey chocolate bars
First layer 3 unwrapped ice cream sandwiches on a freezer safe plate or container. Now the original recipe called for Hershey hard shell chocolate and Hershey hard shell caramel topping and to put a layer on top of sandwiches to act as a glue so to speak. I actually melted 1 Hershey chocolate bar and spread a thin layer on top of the ice sandwiches...it worked fine.
Next I did a second layer of 3 ice cream sandwiches in the opposite direction.
I did a total of 4 layers of the ice cream sandwiches and spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on each layer as before putting the next layer of ice cream sandwiches.
Once all your layers are complete, you frost the cake with whipped topping, same way you would do with frosting. I personally put a big dallop of whipped topping on the top, then added some to the sides, it looked like a pile of snow and that was okay.
Now you place the cake in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours before you plan on serving it. Mine was actually in freezer about 6 hours before we served it.
Now before I servered the cake to my family, I took the whay was left of the 2nd Hershey chocolate bar( used about a third for the layers) and did a fine grating of it to cover the top and sides. I waited about 5 minutes before I sliced it, to make it a little easier to cut.
The original recipe called for a criss-cross design using the Hershey hard shell toppings. Maybe next time I will try that...You could probably also use some crumbled Oreos for the top, the possibilites are endless....oh so yummy! Enjoy....
