Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the HoHo cakes in half lengthwise to create flat pieces.
  2. Line the sides and bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan with the HoHo cake halves, overlapping slightly to form a crust.
  3. Spread one quart of softened ice cream evenly over the HoHo layer.
  4. Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the ice cream layer.
  5. Place the pan in the freezer for 30-45 minutes until the layer is firm.
  6. Remove from freezer and spread the second quart of ice cream over the Oreo layer.
  7. Return to the freezer for another 30-45 minutes until firm.
  8. Drizzle the hot fudge sauce evenly over the top ice cream layer.
  9. Spread the Cool Whip over the fudge sauce to cover the surface completely.
  10. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
  11. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid before slicing and serving.

Note

For easiest assembly, let the ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before spreading, but do not let it melt completely.

You can use any flavor of ice cream for the two layers; vanilla and chocolate are traditional choices, but strawberry or mint chip also work well.

To prevent ice crystals from forming, wrap the top of the pan tightly with plastic wrap before placing it in the freezer.

Let the dessert sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes after removing from the freezer to allow for cleaner slicing.

This dessert can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw slightly before serving if stored for longer periods.
