  • Place the first slice in a bread loaf pan lined with plastic wrap.

  • Sprinkle chocolate cookie pieces over vanilla ice cream
  • Add middle layer of pound cake
  • Spread chocolate ice cream on top
  • Chop chocolate candie pieces and spread on top of chocolate ice cream
  • Top with last piece of pound cake, turning top upside down so it forms a flat surface
  • Place the last layer of cake on top, followed by the chocolate chip ice cream.
  • Spread last layer of ice cream on top and pour chocolate sauce on top
  • Cover with the sides of the plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours
  • When ready to serve, pull back the plastic wrap and lift the cake out of the pan, peeling the plastic wrap off. (Note: if eating right from freezer, you may need to let it rest for several minutes to loosen the ice cream from pan before attempting to lift it from the pan.
  • Slice with large knife and serve.
