Delicioso February is undeniably a delicious month. With pancakes for Shrove Tuesday, chocolates for Valentine’s Day (regardless of your relationship status) and pizza for, well, National Pizza Day (February 9), it's the shortest month of the year, but possibly also the best.  National Pizza Day may be less established than pancake and Valentine’s days, but it’s still worth celebrating.  In fact, according to data by Hitwise, February is the most popular month of the year for pizza searches.

Ice cream sandwich cake recipe


It's easy, delicious and not very heavy. Even kids can make it at home.

Ingredients
10 3 .5-ounce rectangular vanilla ice cream sandwiches
1 pint strawberry ice cream, slightly softened
1 pint mint chip or pistachio ice cream, slightly softened
1/2 cup finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies (about 12 cookies)
Chocolate shell topping, for spreading

How to make
Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with heavy-duty foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. Arrange 5 ice cream sandwiches snugly in the bottom of the pan. Spread the strawberry ice cream on top in an even layer. Press the remaining 5 ice cream sandwiches on top, then spread the mint chip ice cream evenly over the sandwiches. Top with an even layer of crushed cookies, pressing gently.

Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze until set, about 4 hours. Uncover, then lift the foil to remove the cake from the pan. Invert onto a platter, remove the foil and spread with the chocolate shell topping. Serve immediately or cover and freeze for up to 2 days.

Total Time: 4 hr 25 min.

It can be served to 8 people.
