Have you ever been on your way out to a family get-together or a party and have been asked to bring something last minute? If you have, then this is the recipe for you!!! My mother-in-law introduced me to this recipe and I think it’s one of the most clever desserts out there. For as easy and inexpensive as it is to make—it feeds a lot of people and will work for just about any occasion including birthdays, football parties and holidays. My husband and I actually had it at our wedding rehearsal dinner. And did I mention it’s delicious !?!?! Here it goes…
Ingredients:
- Ice Cream Sandwiches (the number depends on how big of a cake you would like to make). I normally buy two boxes for a 9x13 dish.
- Tub of cool whip
- Marchiano Cherries
- Chocolate Sauce
Directions:
In what ever size dish you would like…lay ice cream sandwiches, cookie part down, across bottom of dish (as many as you can fit). Then spread a layer of cool whip. Cover cool whip with another layer of ice cream sandwiches still cookie side flat but lay them the opposite direction. Spread another layer of cool whip. On top place how ever many cherries you would like and then pour syrup in what ever design you would like on top. Freeze until ready to serve.
I hope you enjoy and be creative with this simple recipe. You can mix it up by buying the Neapolitan sandwiches or mixing in different kinds of candy. I think M&M’s would be a good treat inside too!
An ice cream cake makes a great dish to bring to a football party!
