For those special occasions during the summer why not try to make your own ice cream cake?

Easy Ice Cream Cake
16 ice cream sandwiches
1 (16 oz.) cool whip
1 (12 oz.)jar chocolate fudge topping ,room temp.
1 (1.5 oz.) chocolate candy bar,grated (your choice)

Place 8 of the ice cream sandwiches side by side in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spread evenly with half of the hot fudge topping,than half of the cool whip.
Repeat with remaining sandwiches and toppings.Sprinkle with grated candy bar.
Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.Keep unused portion covered and frozen.

Now this last recipe I have tried with the kids and we really liked it.It's more of a chunky frozen treat.

Frozen Cranberry Banana Salad
1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple
1 pint sour cream
1 (9 oz.) cool whip
4 mashed bananas
1/2 c. sugar
2 cans whole cranberry sauce

First, drain the pineapple well and put in a large mixing bowl.
Add sugar,then cool whip.Add cranberry sauce and sour cream.
In a separate bowl,peel and mash bananas with a fork.Combine and stir well.
Spoon into cupcake lined muffin pan.Freeze and then store them in ziploc bag.This makes it easy when the kids want to grab a quick snack.
I had a lot left over so I froze the rest in separate containers and it lasted for a few days.

Hope you all enjoy these easy recipes on these hot summer days! Have a great Wednesday!
