Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

  I have a husband. 

His name is John. 

He's what you'd call a man-child.

He would live off ice cream sandwiches and Coke if I'd let him.

He wishes he had a bike so he could ride around with a cape saving the neighbourhood from villains.

You think I'm kidding, but I'm not.

All he wants for Christmas this year (and every year): a super power.

He blows things up for a living.

His greatest fear: zombies.

Naturally, he spends his free time plotting out his contingency plan if there's ever a zombie invasion.

Again, I do not kid.

It may not surprise you that last week he requested an ice cream sandwich cake for his 28th birthday.

(Begin rant: I make a million delicious things and this, the easiest and most boring thing ever is his favourite cake!?! End rant.)

It's kind of a weird time of year to be making things with ice cream but he's a weird kind of guy so I just go with it.

Despite his quirks, I like him. 

I'd make him an ice cream sandwich cake everyday if he wanted.

He's worth it.

Plus, if he ever does get his super powers or zombies do attack I want to make sure I'm an ally.

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Serves: 6 or 1 man-child

(An original recipe that I'm sure I borrowed from somewhere)

1 box ice cream sandwiches (12ea)

½ cup heavy cream

2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp vanilla extract

2 skor bars, roughly chopped (or your favourite kind of candy bar)

chocolate sauce (optional)

Directions:

1. Beat the heavy cream with the vanilla and sugar until stiff peaks form.

2. Arrange ice cream sandwiches on the bottom  of a 9'' x 5'' loaf pan. I use 2 full ones and 2 with about 1/4 cut off of them. Top this with 1/3 of the whipped cream and sprinkle with 1/3 of the chopped candy bar. If using, drizzle with chocolate sauce.

3. Repeat 2 more times, using the remaining ice cream sandwiches, whipped cream and candy bar.

4. Freeze at least one hour or until very hard. (If leaving longer than 1 hour wrap in plastic wrap.)

5. To serve, allow cake to thaw on the counter for about 5 minutes. Remove from loaf pan and slice.
