Twix Ice Cream Cake

Another recipe from HERE! I don't eat ice cream much, hardly ever. It actually makes me incredibly sick. But, this was very tempting. I'm not very good with temptation. I kept looking at her blog thinking how delightful this looked and kept trying to talk myself out of it. I finally decided I'd make it and just eat a small portion...This picture was taken before it was frozen.

TWIX ICE CREAM CAKE
Recipe By: Holly Lofthouse

1 (1.5 quart) Vanilla Ice cream, slightly softened
1 (16 oz) jar of Caramel Sauce
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions: In a 9x13 glass dish spread out the ice cream evenly. Cover and place in freezer. Freeze to set for 2 hours.
While the ice cream is setting start making the cookie topping. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars in a medium bowl. Stir in vanilla and flour until well mixed. Spread dough into a foil-lined 8x8 baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes or slightly golden. Remove from heat and let stand until completely cooled.
Once Ice cream is all set and cookie topping is completely cooled, take ice cream out of freezer. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over ice cream. Break apart the cookie topping into big chunks and sprinkle evenly over caramel.
Melt chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl. Heat at 30 second intervals until melted. Stir and then drizzle over the cookie topping. Re-cover and place back into freezer for 6 hours or overnight to completely re-freeze. Slice into squares and serve! : )

***edited to add the next time I make this I won't put the chocolate chips on top. It was hard to cut through once they were frozen. Next time I will just use choclate fudge sauce and pour it over the top each time I dish it out***

Mint Dessert

Mom's recipe again....This is like Wingers Asphalt Pie.

30 crushed oreos
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 gal mint chocolate chip ice cream
1 can fudge topping
8 oz cool whip
caramel topping

Blend oreos with melted butter. (this is the hardest part) Press in bottom of 9x13 inch pan. Freeze 20 minutes. Spread ice cream over oreos and freeze again. Heat topping and spread on ice cream. Spread cool whip over chocolate and sprinkle with 2 tbsp oreos. Top with caramel sauce and more fudge topping. Keep frozen.

Not Fried Fried Ice Cream

My friend Danene gave me this recipe this past Monday because I needed something for a Cinco De Mayo party. Look out Los Hermanos.

1 container vanilla ice cream
2 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes
1 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Stir the above together (except ice cream) and bake at 350 for 5 minutes. In the meantime, spread slightly thawed ice cream into bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan. Once mixture is cooked, spread over the top of the ice cream. Re-freeze. Serve with honey, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce or any other ice cream toppings.
