Happy 4th of July!
I’m listening to fireworks go off outside and wishing my husband were here to celebrate this evening with me. It’s a holiday that makes me appreciate him and the things that he does in serving his country even more than usual. But alas, he is out trying to keep our highways safe and drunk drivers off of them. I am truly lucky to be loved by such an honorable and wonderful man. I could not ask for more.
While thumming through a magazine of recipes that I borrowed from a dear friend, I found a recipe for “Oreo and Fudge Ice Cream Cake.” Everything about that sounded wonderful so I thought I’d try it…. and it was amazing.
Here’s the recipe… if you are an ice cream cake fan, I encourage you to try it. I was very pleasantly surprised.
12 ice cream sandwiches (Doug wanted peanut butter and I wanted Mississippi mud, so we did 1/2 and 1/2)
1 tub cool whip
8 Oreo Cookies (crumbled… I actually used more than 8.. just put in cookies until I was tired of crumbling them up 
)
1/2 cup hot fudge (warmed up)
3.9 oz chocolate pudding mix
Lay out a long sheet of foil. Lay 4 ice cream sandwiches in the middle. Mix togheter pudding, cookies, 8 oz cool whip, and hot fudge. Layer on top of sandwiches. Layer 4 sandwhiches on top, followed by another layer of cool whip mixture. Top with last 4 sandwhiches. Frost top and sides with remaining cool whip. Lightly wrap up in foil and freeze for 4 hours.
Definitely worth trying….. here’s to ice cream and a ton of calories
