Everyone will love it!
Peppermint Ice Cream Cake!
It’s hard to beat Peppermint ice cream…
But if you add Oreo cookies, Cool Whip and chopped chocolate peppermint bark, it goes to a new level!
The first layer is crushed Oreo cookies…this is a little messy so instead of using a food processor, which I would have to clean, I put the cookies in a large plastic bag and crushed them with a rolling pin, so I could toss the bag away when I was finished
Transfer cookie pieces to a freezer container, I used a plastic Sterilite container I got at the grocery store
This layer is sort of a jumble, but once the cake is all put together, it won’t matter at all!
Gently spread the softened ice cream into a smooth flat layer over the cookies
Top with Cool Whip
Garnish with chopped chocolate peppermint bark, and sprinkles,
or use crushed peppermints or candy canes, holiday M & Ms, anything you like!
Freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.
