Ice Cream Dream Cake

By srumbel

What do you need to do to transform your humble ice cream sandwiches into Ice Cream Dream Cakes? It's just too simple! Layer them in a bread pan with whipped cream, top with chopped chocolate and freeze. Who couldn't do that? I am busy thinking of all the possibilities like cookies and cream or mint chip ice cream sandwiches. Don't tell anyone it is made with ice cream sandwiches, and see if they recognize them on their own!

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream whipped to peaks with 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
• 6 ice cream sandwiches (3.5 ounces each)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips, chopped - I used Hershey Kisses
• Stabilized Whipped Cream
• 1 cup of Heavy whipping cream
• 1-2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 heaping teaspoon softened cream cheese (Sherri@madefrompinterest used a small kitchen spoon)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Line an 8½-by-4½-inch loaf pan with a piece of wax paper or parchment, allowing the paper to hang over both long sides.
In the bottom of the pan, arrange 3 of the sandwiches in a single layer, cutting them to fit as necessary. Spread with half the whipped cream. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and whipped cream.
Sprinkle the top of the cake with the chopped chocolate chips or Hershey's Kissses. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 week.
Holding both sides of the paper overhang, lift the cake out of the pan and transfer to a platter. Discard the paper and serve.
Notes
Next time I will pipe the whipped cream on the top layer for an even more beautiful presentation!

For whipped cream that holds it's shape try our Stabilized Whipped Cream. We found a simple secret that makes it lasts for weeks. Bet you won't guess what it is!

Stabilized Whipped Cream
1.Beat the cream cheese on low adding a little cream at a time.
2.When all the cream is incorporated add sugar and vanilla extract.
3.Beat on high.
4.For a soft peak, beat until a soft peak forms when pulling the beaters straight up out of the mixture.
5.For a stiff peak, continue beating at high speed. You will know when the cream is is done when you pull out the beaters and it sticks to the beaters.
