When the Brown Eyed Baker posted this dessert recipe I was totally captivated by her pictures. It was the first of August and I had children and grandchildren arriving in just a few days. I was in meal planning mode.
What I didn’t know was …
choosing to make this dessert is one of the best recipe decisions I’ve made this summer. Okay, maybe one of the best decisions I’ve made this YEAR!
Ya, it is just that good. And did I say “fast and easy?”
One layer of store-bought ice cream sandwiches, a layer of caramel. A quick freeze. Another layer of ice cream sandwiches, a layer of fudge. Another quick freeze. Add Cool Whip. Freeze.
Chopped pecans or peanuts and a red cherry. You choose.
A 9″ x 13″ pan made 18 servings. There were six of us here that week. We ate it 3 times. And each time we were lamenting how it would soon be gone!
For my Community Bible Study leaders … I plan to make this for our fellowship meal. You can start thinking about it now. 🙂
Thank you Michelle, the Brown Eyed Baker for this over-the-top flavor sensation!
Happy Eating!

*The dessert can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
** I used dark chocolate fudge topping and the dark chocolate isn't as sweet as the milk chocolate and we loved it!

Catherine, this is one of my favorite desserts. I cannot make it because I would eat it all myself! I’m saving up for Bible study- no desserts for me until then, that may be all I eat!!!

Hi Bonnie, when having this in my freezer my only solace was that I had a houseful of big men and boys to serve it to. That certainly kept me from sneaking a bite here and there!
