Lizzy's Ice Cream Cake Recipe

I absolutely LOVE ice cream cakes! Continue reading to learn how to make one from Lizzy the lizard and her little sister, Lily.

“Hey Lizzy here, again!” I announce happily. “I'm here about to make a delicious ice cream cake to celebrate my birthday! This recipe came from the Taste&See LCA cookbook. It's recipe was given by Sarah Anderson ”

“It's actually not her birthday yet,” grumbled the lizard next to her. “I'm Lily, by the way. Lizzy is always forgetting about me.”

“Okay so in order to do this I need, 1 package of Oreo cookies (crushed), 2/4 c. Margarine, 1/2 gal. vanilla ice cream, ½ gal. chocolate ice cream, and 1. lg. ctn. Cool Whip.”

“WE need!” Lily corrects. “Anyway, first WE need to mix the cookie crumbs and margarine together and pat it firmly into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan.”

Lizzy grabbed the bag of crushed Oreos and dumped it into the pan.

“Uh Lizzy, what are you doing?”

“I'm patting down the crumbs.”

“Ugh, don't do it with your tail . . . that's like . . . so unsanitary or something.”

Lizzy looks at the cook book.

“Cut the ice cream into slices and place them on top. You could also add some cookie crumbs in between the layers if you want,” she read.

“Yeah well, unfortunately, you dumped all the cookie crumbs onto the bottom,” Lily pointed out.

“The last step: freeze the cake until firm. Then top it with Cool Whip and refreeze.”

“You can eat the leftover ice cream!” Lizzy exclaimed, happily diving into the cartons.

Lily shakes her head and then puts the pan in the freezer.

“So how long do we have to wait?”

“I don't know.”

“Let's sing a song!”

“Uh . . . no.”

“Oh come on, you're no fun,” Lizzy pouted.

Finally the cake is good and ready to eat.

“OOOOH! BRAIN FREEZE!!!!!” Lizzy yells, running around the kitchen.

Lily just laughs.
