That is a great idea! Thanks. I'm sorry I just hijacked your post.

My director said to increase interest in the June Host Special for the Chillzanne Rectangular server, make the Spring/Summer 2006 Ice Cream Sandwich Torte recipe on the freezable 13" by 9" tray. I thought that was a great idea.

Here's the recipe.

The Pampered Chef ®
Ice Cream Sandwich Torte Recipe

1 cup coarsely chopped creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (about 10 cookies)
1/2 cup milk
1 package (3.9 ounces) chocolate instant pudding and pie filling
1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
12 frozen rectangle ice cream sandwiches (3.75 ounces each), unwrapped, divided
2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate morsels, grated or multi-colored sprinkles

Coarsely chop cookies using Food Chopper. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine milk and pudding mix; whisk using Stainless Whisk until mixture is smooth and begins to thicken. Immediately fold in half of the whipped topping and cookies using Classic Scraper; set filling aside.

Working quickly, arrange six of the ice cream sandwiches side by side on Chillzanne Rectangular server tray (have the tray in the freezer before doing the recipe). Spread filling evenly over sandwiches using Small Spreader. Top with remaining ice cream sandwiches, forming a rectangular-shaped torte; smooth sides. Spread remaining whipped topping over top and sides of torte. Grate chocolate over torte using Deluxe Cheese Grater. Freeze at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.

I made that ice cream sandwich torte in the chillzanne a few weeks ago. It's VERY rich. Dh wants me to do it again but this time instead of 2 layers of sandwiches, to cut each sandwich in half, putting the filling inbetween the laeyrs of 1 sandwich. What do you think?

I thought it was great the way it was, but it was alot, kwim? I may do it his way for his bday in July.

4kids4me,
Using WW ice cream bars would be great for those who want to keep it low in calories. Plus, you could use low-fat or fat free whipping cream.

I never thought of a healthy revision of this recipe! Thanks.
