Valentine’s Day is over so I think it is safe to finally post this amazing dessert that I made last year for St. Patrick’s Day! If you follow me on Instagram you are probably wondering why I am still posting this?? Recently, as in last month, I found out that I have Celiac Disease. I know, no fun for this food loving girl. That is why I haven’t been posting many recipes lately. I think I needed a little break from food blogging, but I’m sure I will be all about posting the Gluten Free recipes soon! In the mean time though, I have been having fun with Home Decor too! So why am I still posting this….because it tastes amazing and if you can eat wheat you don’t want to miss this one, and I already had all the pictures taken from last year anyway. 🙂 You may see a few other recipes trickle in here and there that are still not gluten free because they were already photographed. Often most things can be made with a gluten free version but I’m not sure about this recipe? I don’t know if the stores have gluten free ice cream sandwiches?? I may just make a up a new gluten free version this year and if I do I will let you know!
This is really easy to put together, as it is no bake, and it makes an amazing, festive, St. Patrick’s Day dessert!
Start by making your melted chocolate. Measure out your chocolate chips in a bowl. In a small sauce pan heat your heavy cream until bubbly and hot.
Pour hot the cream over the chocolate chips and cover with plastic wrap.
Let sit for about 5 minutes and then whisk it all together. I stirred in a drop of peppermint essential oil, but if you don’t have that you can use 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract. Then set aside.
In a 9 x 13 pan and add a layer of ice cream sandwiches on the bottom.
I found these Mint Chocolate Chip ones at Safeway.
Spread on half of the whipped topping.
In a gallon zip lock bag crush up the Oreos. I used the flat side of my meat tenderizer.
Sprinkle the Oreos on top of the whipped topping. Then drizzle on some of the melted chocolate. This layer does not have to be pretty as it will be covered up!
Then start adding the second layer of ice cream sandwiches.
Keep going until the top layer is covered.
Spread on the remaining half of the whipped topping.
Roughly chop up the Andes Mints and sprinkle on top of the whipped topping. You could also get crazy and add some more Oreos too!
Then drizzle with some more melted chocolate.
Keep in the freezer until your are ready to serve and you will have an easy impressive dessert!
