Not all freezer meals have to be for dinner! I made an excellent ice cream cake for my husband's birthday that can easily be made in advance. I posted more pictures of this "cake" on my craft blog: sewincrediblycrafty.blogspot.com
1/2 cup fudge ice cream topping warmed
1 tub cool whip divided
1 pkg (4oz) jellow chocolate instant pudding (I used Cookies & Cream)
12 Orea Chocolate sandwich cookies
12 vanilla ice cream sandwiches (When I doubled the recipe I got 12 Cookies & Cream sandwiches plus 12 vanilla sandwiches)
Pour the fudge topping into a medium bowl. Stir in 1 cup whipped topping with a wire wisk until it's well blended. Add in the dry pudding mix, stir 2 minutes or until well blended. The consistency of fudge topping can vary depending on what brand you purchase. If your fudge topping mixture is too thick to spread easily, add in 1/4 cup milk.
Chop Oreo cookies roughly into chunks. Stir into the pudding mixture. Arrange 4 ice cream sandwiches side by side on a 24x12 inch piece of foil; top with half of the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers. Top the pudding mixture with the remaining 4 sandwiches. The layers create a neat striped effect when sliced. Frost the top and sides with the remaining cool whip. It doesn't have to look perfect. Bring up the foil sides. Double fold top and ends to loosely seal the packet. Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. Let stand at room temperature to soften before serving. Makes 12 servings.
