Cathy Innocente, a long-time member of the ladies' dinner group, is known for her impeccable style, creativity, and thoughtful nature. She’s always curious and takes the time to get to know everyone, making each person feel special. 

Although Cathy couldn’t attend the colour-themed dinner, she couldn’t be left out. In honour of the September birthdays, she made an incredible ice cream cake, representing her assigned colour—white. True to her sparkling personality, Cathy would have likely paired it with a glass of Champagne, adding a little extra celebration to the occasion.

Ingredients for
Cathy's Ice Cream Cake

  • 2 quarts ice cream (chocolate and vanilla ... or your choice)
  • Box of 12 ice cream sandwiches (or more depending on your pan size)
  • Caramel syrup
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Whipping cream
  • Oreo cookie crumbs (or Oreos in the food processor)

How to Make
Cathy's Ice Cream Cake

  1. Line an 8-inch or 9-inch standard round cake pan with plastic wrap so that the plastic overhangs the edges of the pan. Let the ice cream stand at room temperature until slightly softened.
  2. Unwrap, and then cut the ice cream sandwiches evenly in half. 
  3. Place the sandwich pieces cut-side-down around the circumference of the cake pan. 
  4. Place the chocolate (slightly softened) ice cream in the pan in an even layer. Sprinkle with a layer of crushed Oreos or crumbs (if desired).
  5. Add the vanilla (slightly softened) ice cream on top, then a whipped cream layer, followed by a layer of crushed oreo cookies or crumbs in the center of the cake. Drizzle with both caramel and chocolate syrup.
  6. Immediately transfer to the freezer.  Allow the cake to chill until frozen solid, about 4 hours or overnight (preferred).
  7. Remove the cake by pulling the ends of the plastic wrap upward. Lift the cake from the plastic wrap and place on a serving plate.
