Yummy Summer Dessert

Do you have a special family BBQ planned and need to bring dessert but don’t want to labor in the hot kitchen for an hour? Well, here is a great idea for you that is sure to please the whole crowd – young and old – and you won’t even have to turn on the oven!

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

2 boxes of ice cream sandwiches

1 tub of Cool Whip

1 jar of Peanuts or other nuts

Chocolate, caramel, or strawberry syrup

Other toppings to taste

Take a 9x13 cake pan and cover the bottom with unwrapped ice cream sandwiches. You may have to cut them to get a perfect layer of ice cream. Smooth half of the tub of Cool Whip over the sandwiches then add toppings: peanuts, chocolate, caramel, strawberry etc. Once that is complete, add another layer of ice cream sandwiches and finish the cake with another layer of Cool Whip and your favorite toppings.

Put it into the freezer for a few hours until the cake gets harder (the sandwiches tend to melt a little from being out of the freezer). Once it is firm, cut it into pieces and serve! YUMMY!
