Holiday Ice Cream Cake SERVE S 8 This no-bake frozen " cake " must be on our holiday table-it is a family favorite and I can't think of the holiday without it. Put it together a month ahead of time and stash it in the freezer. There are only two ingredients: good peppermint ice cream and store-bought chocolate wafer cookies. I guild the cake and serve it with warm hot fudge sauce, because Christmas only comes but once a year. 1 box plain chocolate wafer cookies 1 quart peppermint stick ice cream, softened Hot fudge sauce (optional) Whipped cream (optional) Chopped walnuts (optional) 1. Line a loaf pan or round or square cake pan with plastic wrap and leave at least 2 inches of an overhang. 2. Place a layer of cookies in the base of the pan. Don't worry if they do not fill in the entire area. Spread a layer of ice cream over the cookies. 3. Repeat, making layers of cookies and ice cream. Make the top layer cookies. 4. Bring the overhanging edges of plastic wrap over the top of the pan to cover and press on pan with your hands to compact the layers. nhhomemagazine.com | November/December 2022 35 5.
