I cannot wait for Friday! We are having a house full of people to celebrate the holiday and my Mom’s 70th birthday. If you are expecting a crowd, here is a great recipe for you to make with your kids:

Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Cake

  • 1/2 gallon of your favorite flavor of ice cream (mint choc chip tastes great with this recipe)
  • 1 package Oreo cookies (not Double Stuff)
  • 1 container 8 oz Cool Whip
  • 2 jars 14.5 oz. Dove DARK Choc Ice Cream Topping/Sauce

This cake is messy to make, but worth it! Your guests will be begging for the recipe. Grind up the cookies in the food processor or blender in batches until they turn into fine crumbs. Prepare for a nice pile of chocolate crumbs to fly and fall everywhere. (Try not to devour the cookies as you prepare the cake, please!) Pour 3/4 of the cookie crumbs into the glass 13X 9 inch dish. Mix 1/2 of 1 jar of ice cream topping into the crumbs to moisten them and press into pan. Spread ice cream over the crust. (You may want to soften it a bit first by leaving it out on the counter.) You may or may not need to use the entire 1/2 gallon of ice cream. Leave a little room on the top for the topping. After you have spread the ice cream out evenly, spread the carton of cool whip on top, followed by 1 jar of the choc sauce on top. Finally sprinkle the rest of the cookie crumbs on top. I like to put red, white and blue sprinkles on top and stick little toothpick flags in the cake for decoration.
