THE Ice Cream Cake

These are the spectacular ice cream cakes that I made for Isaiah's birthday party. I searched around a lot on the internet but couldn't find a recipe that I liked exactly, so I sorta made this up. It turned out wonderful. The sliced picture above is another cake made with butterfinger crust which we made a few days ago because we liked the cake so much and poor Isaiah was so distracted at his party that he didn't get a piece of cake himself. So of course we made another one for him the next day...
Above are the two finished cakes.
Above is my mess as I make the cakes.

Need:

Cake
Ice cream
1 bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
1 C heavy whipping cream
1 tub cool whip
1/4 C butter, melted
1/2 bag oreos, crushed

I made the actually cake from boxes (Duncan Hines)
Just follow the recipe. Cool and slice horizontally in half, to make thinner pieces of cake .

Crust is just the butter and the oreos pressed into a spring form pan. Freeze 15 min.

Gnash: heat cream, pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Cool to room temp.
Pour a cup full on crust, spread, place one layer of cake on this and freeze 15 min.

Pick any ice cream flavor, we used cookie dough. Thaw in fridge till soft but not runny. Spread some on frozen cake. Place layer of cake. Spread with more gnash. Freeze 15 min.

Continue layering cake, gnash and ice cream, freezing in between. Vary the thickness how you like it. We sprinkled crushed butterfingers on the ice cream on the second cake!! great idea!!

To serve, remove from freezer, thaw for 10 - 20 min depending, just don't let it get drippy.
Spread with thawed cool whip. Run butcher knife under hot water to cut easier and serve immediately!!!

ENJOY!!
