Oreo & Fudge Ice Cream Cake

My neighbor, Leslie, brought over a yummy dessert the other night when we got our families together for dinner! I've tried similar recipes before, but I think this one is my favorite. (Recipe courtesy of Kraft Recipes)

Oreo & Fudge Ice Cream Cake
1/2 cup hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed
1 tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
1 pkg (3.9 oz.) Jello-O Chocolate Instant Pudding
8 Oreo Cookies, chopped (about 1 cup)
12 vanilla ice cream sandwiches

*Pour fudge topping into medium bowl. Whisk in 1 cup Cool Whip. Add dry pudding mix; stir 2 min. Stir in chopped cookies.

*Arrange 4 ice cream sandwiches, side-by-side, on 24-inch-long piece of foil; top with half the Cool Whip mixture. Repeat layers. Top with remaining sandwiches. Frost top & sides with remaining Cool Whip. Bring up foil sides; double fold top & ends to loosely seal packet.

*Freeze 4 hours

Note: The consistency of fudge topping can vary depending on what brand you purchase. If your fudge topping mixture is too thick to spread easily, stir in 1/4 cup milk.
