Easiest Ever Ice Cream Cake

 I have not tried this recipe yet, but I know that I will.  ~~Shelly

It comes from the blog:  A Beautiful Mess.


You'll need:
a baking pan,
wax paper
ice cream sandwiches (I used around 10 for this square pan)
ice cream for the filling (I used chocolate)
chocolate chips or frosting for the top
5-10 cookies,  (Oreo cookies are great)
and sprinkles. (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Line your baking pan with wax paper, this will allow you to easily remove your cake once it sets.  Fill the bottom layer with ice cream sandwiches.  You may need to cut a few into smaller pieces to fill out the edges of the pan.

Next add a layer of ice cream. You don't have to get the ice cream perfectly smooth. You actually want to work quickly here as you don't want all the ice cream to melt as you work. Then top the layer of ice cream with another layer of ice cream sandwiches.

Cover your cake and pop it back into the freezer.  Chop up whatever cookies you choose.  I highly recommend birthday cake Oreos.  If you are using melted chocolate, go ahead and melt the chocolate and have it ready.

Now top the cake with the melted chocolate and toss on the cookie pieces and sprinkles.
Cover and place the cake back in the freezer.  Once set, you are ready to serve!

VARIATION
Add a 
peanut butter layer by mixing up some Nutella & PB and smearing it between layers.
