Preparation

Step 1

Line a 13-inch x 9-inch pan with foil; set aside. In a large bowl, combine condensed milk and chocolate syrup; fold in whipped cream. Pour into prepared pan; cover and freeze for 6 hours.

Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using a greased and floured 13-inch x 9-inch baking pan. Cool for 10 minutes; invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Transfer to a serving platter.

Remove cream mixture from the freezer; carefully invert onto cake and remove foil. Spread whipped topping over top and sides. Return to the freezer for 2 hours.

May be frozen for up to 2 months. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting.

Just before serving, drizzle with additional chocolate syrup; garnish with mint and cherries.
