Home Sweet Home # 24

Welcome to Home Sweet Home!  Today I have an alternative to the store bought ice cream cake.  I found this recipe on the Duggar Family website.  I was having lots of challenges feeding three boys and I went to their website wondering how Michelle Duggar fed all of her kids and I found her recipes.  You can get there by clicking here.

 My kids love this cake and would rather have it than a store cake.  It has the chocolate and then some that you would get with the fast food ice cream birthday cake.

So, let's break down the cost:

I followed the recipe and bought name brand on a few things everything else was store brand and cheaper.

Hershey's Chocolate syrup $1.68

Smuckers Caramel topping  $1.98

4 regular Butterfingers       $3.00

24 ice cream sandwiches    $3.98

whipped topping                       .99

Total cost                             $11.63

This makes a 9x13" pan and feeds 20-30

The kids verdict was that it was rich and a small piece was perfect.

Layered Ice Cream Cake

24 ice cream sandwiches

8 0z. whipped topping

1 Hershey's chocolate syrup bottle

1 Smuckers caramel topping 

2 king size Butterfinger candy bars chopped up

1st layer: 12 ice cream sandwiches

2nd: half of whipped cream

3rd: half of Butterfinger bars

4th: squeeze 1/2 of caramel and chocolate over that

5th: rest of ice cream sandwiches

6th: whipped topping

7th: rest of Butterfinger

8th: rest of Caramel and chocolate

Freeze and eat as desired.

 Now for the vintage part of this post, I had to show you another piece of my Fair Winds English Transferware by Alfred Meakin.  This is the dessert bowl I served the ice cream cake in.  The scene on this is the U.S.S. Portsmouth off the Barrier Forts of Canton.  Every piece of this transferware has a different scene on it.  Soon I will make a table with it.
