Chocolate Mint Explosion
Mint and chocolate are the perfect combination to liven up your taste buds! I used a few short cuts in this recipe to make it a little bit of a time saver! Little Debbie cream filled chocolate cakes are the “cake” part of this ice cream cake.
Remember Andes Candies? Those yummy mints you would get at a restaurant after your meal? Well, I incorporated those too for an extra burst of chocolaty mint flavor!
Ingredients:
-1 carton of mint chocolate chip ice cream
-2 boxes of Little Debbie chocolate cakes with cream filling
-1 bag Andes Candies chocolate mints
-1 cup white chocolate chips
-Valentine's Day sprinkles
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step#1
In a square baking dish (8X8), place 8 or 9 Little Debbie cakes on bottom of the dish.
Step#2
After letting the ice cream sit out for about 15 minutes, scoop out 5 or 6 scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream and spread evenly on top of cakes.
Step#3
Unwrap about 15 Andes Candies mint chocolates and line up on top of ice cream.
Step#4
Top with more cakes (about 9). Then another 5 or 6 scoops of ice cream.
Step#5
Sprinkle white chocolate chips on top along with Valentine sprinkles OR do your own thing for the topping! You can melt the white chocolate and drizzle it or pour it on top to create a shell. You can also drizzle chocolate sauce and bits of Andes Candies on top. The possibilities are endless!
FUN FACT: Mint leaves or pure mint is used as a palette cleanser after a meal, and is also good for digestion, nausea and headaches.
