So, yes I describe this cake as being easy. However it is a little time consuming, and needs to be made at least 24 hours in advance, so keep that in mind when making it.
You will need:
1 box of brownie mix (or homemade brownies, make enough for a 9x13 pan)
3/4 pkg of Oreo cookies
1/2 stick of butter
1 carton of cookies n cream ice cream
caramel sauce (store bought or home made it doesn't matter)
Maraschino cherries (about 10, but up to you how many you want)
Bake the brownie mix according to box instructions. Even if you are making a smaller cake, you want the brownie mix thin so use the 9x13 pan.
Crush the oreo cookies.
Melt the butter.
Pour the butter over 3/4 of the cookie crumble mix, stir and press into a lightly greased cooking pan of choice.
Bake @350* about 10 minutes, until you can smell the chocolate in the air (no more than 15 minutes)
Let the crust and the brownies cool completely. At least 2 hours.
Let the icecream soften until spreadable.
On top of the crust spread an even layer of icecream. Put the brownie on top of the ice cream layer. Top the brownie with another layer of icecream. Top with remaining cookie crumbles and caramel sauce.
Put in freezer for 24 hours so it is well set.
Pull out of freezer 20 minutes before serving, and garnish with cherries right before serving.
** I used an 8x8 pan with this recipe. I will be using a 9x13 pan this weekend, and plan on doubling the recipe, with the exception of the brownie (which should already be 9x13 size)
