Favorite Recipes From Midweek Manna

ICE CREAM CAKE

Ingredients:
2 boxes of full-size Ice Cream Sandwiches (any flavor)
1 large tub of Cool-Whip
Your choice of toppings (nuts, sprinkles, crushed Oreo, crushed peppermint, crushed candy bars, etc.)

Preparation Instructions:
Unwrap the ice cream sandwiches and line the bottom of a 13” x 9 “ baking dish (glass works best). You may need to cut the sandwiches to fit on one end of the pan. Spread a layer of Cool Whip on top of the ice cream sandwiches. Repeat the above steps and sprinkle with your favorite toppings. Freeze until firm. This is just as good as the pricey ice cream cakes you purchase in the store! You may also add sprinkles on the middle layer as well. Be creative and customize your cake for various holidays.
