better than store bought ice cream cake
My kids love ice cream cake from dairy queen and carvel. Well they did until i made this lol. Aside from the fact that store bought ice cream cake is ridiculously exxpensive, the places to buy them are just too far from my house. One of the two grocery stores i shop at always has ice cream on sale either at a two for price (2 for 6.00) or a buy one get one price (5.99 for both in this case) I always have the other ingredients on hand since we love topping our ice cream off and my children love oreo cookies. So i decided to make my own ice cream cake. We always complain that the store bought cakes dont have enough of the cookie crumb in them and that its never chunky so you can taste the oreo middles. And we always end up adding some marshmellow topping. This way I made it our way and my entire family is addicted. And to make it easy for my seven year old to get himself a slice, I slice it and then individually wrap them in saran wrap and then in freezer paper and place them in the freezer drawer. He has just the right amount available to him at any time.
