Homemade Ice Cream Cake

Every year for my birthday my parents would always get me a Carvel Ice Cream Cake.....holy amazing!! So of course I wanted keep the tradition going when we had our little boy! So this year he was turning 4 and I figured I would start this year! Every other year I just made cupcakes or a regular cake. Well then I got this idea in my head to MAKE the ice cream cake! Personally I think it turned out great and was so simple!!

 

Let's get started!!

 

You will need a tray to build it on {or whatever kinda of container you wanna use}, Cool Whip, Ice Cream Sandwiches, Chocolate Syrup and Caramel Syrup. An then icing for writing/decorating the top and sides! 

 

First start with your first layer on ice cream sandwiches.....spread them out to make as big a you need/want it. I actually started this small and then added some to the sides to make it a little bigger

 

Then drizzle some chocolate syrup and caramel syrup over the tops of the sandwiches

 

 

{Here is where I added a few to the sides to make it a little bigger} Then all you do is keep layering on top in the same pattern. Sandwiches, chocolate syrup and caramel syrup

 

Side view......YUM!!!

 

Drizzle, Drizzle!!

 

I only did 3 high, but I guess you could do more if you wanted ;)

The top layer you don't drizzle any syrups

 

Now start putting your cool whip "icing" on the top.

 

Looks so Yummy!!! It took me all I had not to jump right into it ;)

 

Please don't mind my awful decorating/writing skills! LOL!!

 

After everything was completed I just tossed it in the freezer till we were ready for it at his party

 

Happy 4th Birthday Little Man!! <3 He LOVED it, he was so excited when I brought it out! :)

 

 

Ingredients:

1 12oz container of whipped topping

Pour the desired amount of caramel sauce over the sandwiches making sure to get it into the cracks.

Drizzle with chocolate sauce and put into the freezer for at least 1-2 hours before serving.
