For Jay's party cake, I modified the above recipe a little. I used a Jello "No Bake" Oreo Dessert mix as the middle layer, and skipped the cool whip, fudge and peanut layer. The dessert mix has chocolate cookie crubs, and a whipped topping with crumbled oreos in it. Jay "piped" the whipped topping on the top, with a bit of fudge mixed in. I wasn't too pleased with how that came out. Perhaps real whipped cream, or a frosting, would have had more body that cool whip, which kind of lost its fluffiness in the piping process. But Jay was pleased with his efforts. We quickly popped it back in the freezer.. Later, I decorated the top with squeeze jel frosing. The ice cream bars come in a box of 36 at BJs, and probably other warehouse stores. I used a few more, cut lengthwise to solidly fill the pan on both layers. Jay isn't fond of peanuts in creamy desserts, so we skipped them. I think I spent about
$12 on the cake, not counting the jel |
