Ice Cream Cake

This is seriously the easiest dessert EVER! 

But it looks pretty impressive, don't you agree?

And you can totally customize it to appeal to your family!

Wanna make one??? 

Here's what you need...

9 ice cram sandwiches

1 container of cool whip

1-2 candy bars of your choice...I used Reese's, chopped or crushed

Caramel Sauce

Chocolate Sauce

 Unwrap all your ice cream sandwiches...try not to eat one!

Lay 3 sandwiches side by side on a cake plate.

 Top with a layer of cool whip and sprinkle on about half of the crushed candy bars

Next lay 3 ice cream sandwiched, in the opposite direction, on top of the first layer.

Top with a layer of cool whip.

Lay the 3 remaining ice cream sandwiches, in the same direction as the first layer, on top of all. 

"Frost" the entire cake with remaining cool whip.

Sprinkle remaining candy bar on top and drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauce.

Pop it in the freezer until you are ready to serve!

ENJOY!

This made 4 very large pieces of cake. You could make a cake that would serve more people, simply by using more ice cream sandwiches, cool whip and candy bars. I would put it in a 9x13 glass dish if I were making a bigger cake.

Also, you can use any candy bars or ice cream sauce that appeals to your people! 

I hope you make one and you LoVe it!

White Bubble Up Pizza

We've been trying quite a few new recipes lately. I need to freshen things up before my boys come home for the summer. This one is easy and a really big hit! I am already dreaming of ways to make it even more delicious and can't wait to make it again. 

Give it a try...I think you'll thank me!

1 can (12oz) golden layer buttermilk biscuits the Pillsbury Grands Jr Brand
1 jar (15oz) alfredo sauce
1-2 cups mozzarella cheese depending on how cheesy you like things
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1&1/2- 2 cups cooked, chopped or shredded chicken
cooking spray

Cut biscuits into quarters.

In a large bowl, pour 3/4 of the jar of Alfredo sauce, sprinkle with garlic powder.

Add half the mozzarella cheese, and the chicken.

Gently toss all ingredients to thoroughly coat.

Pour into an 8 x 8inch baking dish, I used an iron skillet this time.

Top with remaining cheese.

Bake at 375* for 25-30 minutes or until biscuits are done and cheese is golden brown.

Serve with a little extra sauce, if desired.

BBQ Chicken Taquitos

we loved these, and the leftovers heated up nicely the next day!

3 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
3/4 cup bbq sauce, I used KC Masterpeice
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterrey jack cheese
Corn Tortillas
Kosher salt
Ranch Dressing for dipping, if desired
Fresh cilantro for garnishing, if desired

Heat oven to 425*.

Mix chicken and bbq sauce together.

Warm tortillas in microwave so they won't crack when rolling up, 30-60 seconds.

Top each tortilla with a couple heaping tablespoons of bbq chicken.

Sprinkle chicken with shredded cheese.

Roll tortilla up tightly and place seam side down in baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray, trying to leave a little space between each one.

Once all the tortillas are in the dish, spray the tops with non-stick spray then sprinkle with kosher salt.

Bake 15 - 20 minutes or until the edges are becoming browned and crispy.

Optional...when serving, drizzle a little ranch over the top and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro.  A little extra ranch for dipping is nice, also.
