Jun. 19, 2008 - Oreo and Fudge Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
Today we made Lily's "cake" for her party on Saturday. I decided to make her the same cake as last year. It is from www.Kraftfoods.com and can be found here. They even have a how to video to help you make this.
This year I doubled the recipe and had the girls help me.
Here is the recipe and directions:
Gather all your supplies: 2 boxes of 12 ice cream sandwiches each, 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding, 1 cup hot fudge ice cream topping, oreos, milk, 16 ounces of cool whip. Then lament the fact that you forgot the oreos and move on. I decided to change the name of the recipe to Fudge Ice Cream Sandwich Cake.
Mix the ice cream fudge topping with 2 cup of the cool whip in a large bowl.
Add the dry power of the instant pudding mixes and don't breathe deeply, or you'll inhale the powder! I found the mixture to be too thick so I kept adding milk so it would be a good spreading consistency.
Meanwhile, have the kids unwrap all 24 sandwiches and make sure to point out that the cake will be 6 sandwiches long by 4 sandwiches high. The big kids who walked through as we did this got a quick reminder of 6 x 4 . :)
Don't forget to have the kids lick the wrappers to maximize the cost value ratio. ;)
Stack all 24 sandwiches as tall as the kids can do it and watch them squeal when the top two look like the letter T. This is when you comment that it also looks like the cross that Jesus died on. :)
Ok, now lay out the first layer of 6 and have the 5 year old in your house count them. Spread the first layer of the "mortar" and tell the 3 year old again to stop licking the sandwiches! I hope that freezing might kill any germs that were spread in the making of this cake. :)
Ok, add all the rest of the layers. Pride yourself that no one ate very much of the "bricks". You can use broken pieces just fine.
Make sure and have spatulas available to "clean" out the mixing bowl!
The recipe, that I tore out the magazine, said don't worry about the cool whip being perfect. Repeat that to yourself over and over again as you ice the cake with softened cool whip.
Place in the freezer and set up for several hours.
Clean up all the mess while the kids run off giggling and count your blessings!
