Oreo and Fudge Ice Cream Cake

For dessert (on Father's Day) I wanted to go simple and make something that I knew everyone was going to love and enjoy. As I was searching for an easy no-bake recipe I came across this one on Kraft.com. It was so yummy and great for a summer dessert (really anytime this was so good). I didn't make this to be low fat but you could swamp the higher fat and calorie ingredients for lower ones. Also I added a some extra Oreos on top for a little decoration, presentation is everything! This is a kid friendly recipe too, there isn't any baking involved and it would be fun making all the layers. After I made the cake I froze it for a little over 4 hours and it froze perfectly. I was able to make clean slices so everyone could enjoy some. They were decent portions and I even had some leftovers.

Father's Day Menu

So I know Father's Day was in June but Denis and I have been really busy because we bought our first house (YAY!!! and plenty of pics to come as I decorate) and the busy-ness of summer just got in the way! But we were lucky to be able to host and cook a great dinner for our Dads. It's still a little tight in our small apartment but we make it work! Once we move we will have a dining room, I can not wait, so many new tablescapes capes and dinner parties!
