Let's Cook: Ice Cream Cake

Each week, I try to make a treat for DJ's students & staff just as a way to say thank-you for all they do every week. Other than students, he has never had a professional staff working alongside him in the video department, and we are so grateful for their willingness to step in when he needs to leave to pick up a girl, or go in late. They can pick up the slack when family life happens, and we try to not let it get in the way as best as we can, but gosh, we are so thankful for those 3 people that work with him every day. And again, the students that come to film.

So far this year we've made brownies, chocolate chip cookies, rice krispy treats, or just brought in candy. 

This week, they're having ice cream cake! And this one was so fun to make!
Adalyn was a huge help in making this cake! She had so much fun and she requested it for her birthday! 

Here's what you'll need: 
2 bags of Reese's cups, or another candy of your choice. You could use chocolate chips, snickers, milky way... there are so many possibilities. 
1 jar of caramel sauce, and 1 jar of hot fudge. 
2 containers of Cool Whip

24 Ice Cream Sandwiches

Here's What You'll Do:
Open and chop the peanut butter cups. We used almost 2 bags, but had a few left over. 
In a rectangle baking dish, open and lay your ice cream sandwiches down. We broke them to fill in the gaps on the side. This does not have to e pretty. No one is going to see it at all! 
Spread 1 container of cool whip across the top of the ice cream sandwiches. 
Drizzle on the caramel and hot fudge sauce. I did have to heat up the fudge so it would drizzle. Then, sprinkle on the candy.
And repeat. We added another layer of sandwiches on top. 
More cool whip. 
More peanut butter cups. 
And more sauce!

You can cover with foil and place back in your freezer for a few hours or overnight to freeze everything together. 

It's literally the simplest dessert ever and so yummy too!
