Ice Cream Cake

Growing up, our birthday cake was always an ice cream cake.  We got to choose whatever ice cream we wanted and whatever topping we wanted on top.  It is very simple, but needs to be started at lease the night before.

1 package sandwich cookie (like oreos, vanilla sandwich cookies, lemon sandwich cookies)
1 carton of ice cream
1 carton of cool whip
topping (goodie) of choice
  1. Crunch up all the cookies.  I don't have  a food processor, so I put it in a big ziplock bag and pound it to crumbs/chunks.  Mix a little water into it so it will stay when pressed into a 9x 13 pan.  You could also use melted butter, but I can't taste the difference so I use water.  let that freeze till hard. 
  2. Let the ice cream thaw a little so it can be smoothed.  Cut into chunks and place on top of the frozen cookie crust.  Smooth it all around until it is in a uniform layer.  Freeze over night.
  3. When the time comes to eat it, top the ice cream with cool whip.  Then top with your goodie of choice.

I chose cookies and cream from my ice cream and vanilla sandwich cookies for my cookie crust.  I also, opted out of cool whip and used extra cookie crumbs for my topping.  If you choose a sherbert, I suggest either vanilla or lemon cookies.
