Bell-Anderson Bomb-Bastic Ice Cream Cake

Adapted from another recipe and re-magicked by Stefanie Octave, Condo AP Bookkeeper
  • 16 ice cream sandwiches
  • 2 (8 ounce) containers of Cool Whip whipped topping
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar chocolate fudge topping, room temperature
  • 1 box of devil’s food cake cookies
  • 1 small box of chocolate instant pudding (prepare as on box)
  • 2 standard Hershey Bars
Directions
  1. Place ice cream sandwiches & cookies side by side in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cut, shape and chisel if necessary to fit the bottom of the dish. Just make certain that the bottom is completely covered with CHOCOLATE!!!
  2. Make pudding as stated on box (Mix with two cups of milk)
  3. Next mix pudding with 1 tub of Cool Whip. 
  4. Drizzle ice cream sandwich/cookie layer with half of the hot fudge topping (warm in the microwave for 35 seconds or so if necessary), then cover the fudge layer with the whipped cream/pudding topping. Yummmmm…try to resist the temptation of taste testing…….
  5. Cover and put in freezer for an hour or so - during this stressful hour or so of WAITING – watch a little bit of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or perhaps do some Yoga -after an hour or so- mix 1 tub of Cool Whip with the 95% of the remaining hot fudge warmed up a bit (leave 5% of hot fudge topping for decorating)
  6. Remove cake from freezer and top with cool whip/chocolate fudge topping. Drizzle remaining hot fudge on cool whip/hot fudge topping and swirl a bit with spoon!
  7.  *Bedazzle* with rainbow sprinkles and frame this masterpiece with Hershey chocolate squares (see picture)
  8. Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving. Keep unused portion covered and frozen.
  9.  Hold on to your boot straps – loosen your belt and enjoy this Bell-Anderson family recipe!!!!
  10.  Suggestions – use different pudding flavors/ice cream sandwich flavors/caramel topping instead of chocolate….be creative =) ENJOY!!!!
And now for the photograpic evidence:
