Carrot Garden Ice Cream Dessert

By ccavaletti

Ingredients

• 1 pkg (15-1/2 oz) Oreo cookies
• 1-1/2 qt vanilla ice cream
• 1 carton (8 oz) frozen
• 1/2 c canned vanilla frosting
• Orange paste food coloring
• 2 to 3 pieces pull-apart green apple licorice

Preparation

Step 1

Finely crush half of the cookies; coarsely crush the remaining cookies.

In a bowl, beat ice cream, whipped topping and finely crushed cookies until blended. Spread into an 8-inch square dish; sprinkle with coarsely crushed cookies. Freeze until firm.

Tint frosting orange; pipe carrot tops in rows over dessert. Cut the licorice into 1-in pieces; separate strands, leaving one end intact. Insert into carrots to form carrot tops.

We made this for Easter 2016.
