Layered Ice Cream Cake

15 oreos
1 TBSP. milk
8 or 9 ice cream sandwiches
1 pint mint chocolate chip ice cream (I used regular chocolate chip -- we don't like mint)
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 pint strawberry ice cream
1 8-oz. container, Cool Whip

Coat bottom and side of a springform pan w/ nonstick cooking spray. I then lined it with Saran, using the cooking spray to help it stick.

Finely crush 12 of the oreos using a food processor. Add milk; pulse just until mixture holds together. Set aside.

Unwrap ice cream sandwich and cut into quarters by cutting it in half lengthwise, then crosswise. Stack strips of sandwiches on end, packing them snugly together, around the edges of the pan.

Repeat with enough sandwiches to form edge -- work quickly!

Spoon cookie crumbs into center of pan; press firmly over bottom of pan. Freeze for 1 hour.

Remove ice cream from freezer and let sit for 15 minutes. Transfer one flavor to a bowl and stir until a firm spreading consistency (I don't know what this means -- you'll figure it out!) Repeat for each flavor. Remove pan from freezer. Spread choc. chip ice cream on bottom, then top with vanilla and strawberry, spreading all layers level. Top with whipped topping, "swirling top decoratively"! Crush the remaining oreos and sprinkle over cake. Return to freezer, freeze overnight.

White Chocolate Butterfinger Ice Cream

Remember my friend Laura, that makes up recipes while laying in bed at night?

by Laura
Here's a recipe I came up with in bed one night:

White Chocolate Butterfinger Ice Cream

2 cans Eagle Brand Condensed Milk
2 cans evaporated skim milk
2 boxes white chocolate pudding (I use sugar-free instant)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons vanilla (or vanilla rum)
5 eggs (optional)
6 Butterfinger bars, crushed
Milk, to fill

Mix first 6 ingredients. Cook if desired, then cool (this can be done the night before; I don't cook the mixture, therefore a fugitive from the egg police.) Add candy bars and pour into your ice cream maker. Fill to the line with milk and freeze according to your ice cream maker.

Miss Patty's Peanut Butter Milk-Shake

Several scoops vanilla ice cream
1 cup plus more milk
2-3 Tbls. peanut butter, more to taste
optional chocolate syrup

Mix all ingredients in the blender, add milk until milkshake consistancy. If you want to add chocolate syrup you can add it in the blender or drizzle over the top of the shake.

This recipe was given to Jack from his speech therapist at Baylor. We made it and the kids all loved it, I made a second batch that same day.
