Peppermint Ice Cream Dessert

Ingredients

1 container Peppermint Ice Cream                         1 red ribbon-shapped, fruit flavored snack

1 c. hot fudge topping                                            Green/Red striped hard peppermint/spearmint candies
2 c. whipped cream or Cool Whip

Directions:  Line 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan with plastic wrap leaving 5" wrap overhang on each side.  Into prepared pan, scoop 1/2 the ice cream, pressing to form an even layer.  Pour room temp. hot fudge topping over ice cream.  Scoop remaining ice cream, pressing to form an even layer; cover with overhanging plastic wrap.  Freeze 4 hours or overnight.  Freeze serving platter 30 minute before serving.  Lift ice cream from pan using plastic wrap & invert onto chilled serving platter; remove plastic wrap.  Frost with whipped cream.  Decorate with fruit flavored snack for "ribbon" & candies.  If needed, return to freezer for 30 minutes to firm up decorations.

Tips:  I used three cake pans to make a layered peppermint ice cream cake.  I used about 1.5 containers of peppermint ice cream & 1.5 jars of fudge topping.  I lined the cake pans with plastic wrap & pressed ice cream into all three.  I then put fudge topping on top of two & froze the three pans for about 5 hours.  I froze my cake plate for 30 minutes then inverted my three layers onto the plate (starting with the layer without fudge).  I iced with whipped cream & decorated with Fruit by the Foot & Red Peppermint Candies.  This fed 15-20 people.
