Layered Ice Cream Cake

Lately I have just been absolutely craving ice cream. Ice cream isn't something that I want all the time, but some times it is one of my favorite sweets. This Layered Ice Cream Cake is super easy to make, it takes like 5 minutes. It is so yummy and a great way to beat the heat.

Ingredients

24 Ice Cream Sandwiches
8oz Cool Whip
1 Hershey's syrup bottle (I accidentally got the jar and it is harder to spread)
1 Smucker's Caramel Syrup
4 Butterfingers Crushed (I used only 3)

Directions

First line a 9X13 pan with a layer of the ice cream sandwiches (it will take 12).


Next half of the butterfingers, chocolate syrup, and caramel syrup. You can also add half of the cool whip on top of this.


Then another layer of the ice cream sandwiches. On top of that put the rest of the chocolate syrup and the caramel syrup.


Last put the remaining cool whip and crushed butterfingers. Keep in the freezer and eat as desired!

Peanut Butter Cheesecake

We are definitely peanut butter loves. So this easy recipe was just right for us. Since it is not baked in a springform pan it is more of a pie than a cake. The peanut butter mixture is delicious.

Ingredients Crust
1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 stick butter

Peanut Butter Mixture
1/2 cup peanut butter
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar

Cream Cheese Filling
2 8-oz. packages of cream cheese
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 large eggs

Directions:
1. Make the crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs with sugar, then add melted butter and press into 9-inch glass pie pan. Bake at 325° for 8 minutes. 2. While crust is baking, make peanut butter mixture. Using a fork, cut in powdered sugar with peanut butter until balls form. Cut in brown sugar. 3. Make the cream cheese filling by mixing softened cream cheese with sugar, heavy whipping cream, lemon juice, vanilla and eggs. Beat 5 minutes. 4. Pour over peanut butter mixture and crumble peanut butter mixture on top. 5. Bake at 350° until done (approximately 35 minutes). Cool 3 hours.

Happy Baking,
