Fudge Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

I have not made this ice cream cake in years.  Years!! What is my problem?  How could I have deprived my children for so long?  I honestly don't know, but I am rectifying the situation now.  With this cake.  It is so easy, and seriously, who doesn't like ice cream sandwiches?  With an Oreo fudge filling? Topped with whipped topping, more Oreos, and hot fudge sauce? Yeah.  Everyone wants this cake. I originally found this recipe in a Kraft Foods magazine quite a few years ago, and have adapted it.  

Fudge Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

24 ice cream sandwiches (you can get creative and use different flavors)
4 cups whipped topping
1 cup hot fudge, warmed
2 packages (4 serving size each) instant chocolate pudding mix
2-4 Tablespoons milk
24 Oreo Cookies, chopped

Layer 12 of the ice cream sandwiches on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Place in the freezer.

In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups of the whipped topping and the warm hot fudge until blended.  Add the pudding mixes and stir until combined.  Stir in enough of the milk to reach a spreadable consistency.  Stir in about 2/3 of the chopped Oreo cookies.  Remove the pan of ice cream bars from the freezer, and spread the fudge mixture evenly over the top.  Layer the remaining 12 ice cream sandwiches on top of the filling.  

Spread the remaining 2 cups of whipped topping evenly over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 of the chopped Oreos, and drizzle with extra hot fudge sauce, if desired.  Freeze until solid.  Makes 24 servings.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
