How to be a Fatty: Lesson 1

So... remember that cake we were going on about last time? Here it is! It's a candy-ice cream cakepie. Join us and embrace your inner fatty.

Pre-fatty prep:
Ingredients:
8-9 honey graham crackers (or you could use oreos. You want about a cup and a half crushed of either)
1/2 stick butter
1.5 quarts of ice cream
1 container of magic shell ice cream topping (we used chocolate fudge)
crushed candy bits. however much your little (or maybe not so little) inner fatty wants


Step 1: Pick your favorite ice cream and candy


We chose Cookie Dough ice cream (a favorite of Team Cookie) and Reese's Peanut Butter cups.

Step 2: Crush 8-9 graham crackers in a storage or freezer bag. You can use a rolling pin to crush them, or do what Ashley did, and just beat the hell out of it to express your repressed emotions...


Step 3: We combined the butter and graham cracker and smushed it into a 9 inch springform pan, then topped it with some magic-shell ice cream topping. You might want to try skipping the butter and just combining magic-shell with graham crackers... we don't know. Let us know what works for you.


Step 4: Put ice cream on top. Make sure it's not frozen solid. Try leaving it in the fridge for like 30-60 minutes first. Make it flaaaaaat. Then put it in the freezer for a couple hours... and wait!! wait for it..........



Step 5: Still waiting??? Kk, while you're waiting, chop up some Reese's cups. If that was the candy of your choice. If it was something like butterfingers... smush it in the bag like you did the graham crackers. If it's M&Ms... leave them the hell alone and keep waiting. Be bored. Read a book. We'll recommend some later.


Step 6: DONE WAITING! Coat the cake with more magic shell... or maybe some cool whip. Whatever your inner fatty wants. And then put the candy on top. Like so:
Step 7: Spring your cake/pie from the pan, carefully... You might want to run a knife around the edge first. We did. And we're pretty smart. Not to brag or anything.
And here's the finished (and delicious) product

Yay!

Enjoy!
