IT HAS IT ALL! Ice Cream Cake...

Written by Kim

Now, if you love ice cream and you love chocolate and you love crunchy Oreo cookies, this is your dessert! It has it all!  This recipe is a copy cat of those expensive cakes. I love to use the homemade fudge sauce because it is like the best you’ve ever eaten, but of course you can buy sauce at the grocery store, too. I’m not sure how many jars you would need, but I’d guess a minimum of two to cover the cake. I bought 2 half gallons of ice cream for this and had some of each left over. I probably used 3/4 of a half gallon container.
