Holiday Ice Cream Cake
This no bake frozen “cake” must be on our holiday table; it is a family favorite and I can’t think of the holiday without it. Put it together a month ahead of time and stash it in the freezer. There are only two ingredients, good peppermint ice cream and store-bought chocolate wafer cookies. I guild the cake and serve it with warm hot fudge sauce….Christmas comes but once a year.
Ingredients
- 1 box plain chocolate wafer cookies
- 1 qt peppermint stick ice cream, softened
- Hot fudge sauce (optional)
Directions
- Line a loaf pan or round or square cake pan with plastic wrap and leave at least 2 inches of an overhang.
- Place a layer of cookies in the base of the pan. Don’t worry if they do not fill in the entire area. Spread a layer of ice cream over the cookies.
- Repeat, making layers of cookies and ice cream. Make the top layer cookies.
- Bring the overhanging edges of plastic wrap over the top of the pan to cover and press on pan with your hands to compact the layers.
- Wrap the pan tightly in aluminum foil and freeze until ready to serve.
- To serve:
- Remove the foil and invert the pan onto a serving dish. Remove and discard the plastic wrap.
- Cut the cake into slices and serve with warm hot fudge sauce and or whipped cream and nuts.
