Tea House Ice Cream Cake

Back about 15 years ago - "tea houses" were all the rage in the South. This is a family recipe from the tea house I waitressed at as a teen. This is a stupendously easy and delicious recipe!

Ingredient List

2 boxes of vanilla ice cream sandwiches (neopolitan ice cream sandwiches for variation or vanilla ice cream and vanilla "sandwiches" if you do not like chocolate)
1 bottle of ice cream syrup (found usually in the ice cream section) - I have used caramel in this recipe but strawberry is one of my families favorites to enjoy
1 large tub of cool whip (can use lite cool whip)
1 jar of ice cream sprinkles - flavor depends on the syrup you use (I used chocolate for the caramel syrup)
1 full cup of salted peanuts (I prefer Planters - I do the snack size bags bc they are easier to crush)

Unwrap and layer ice cream sandwiches along the bottom of the dish you are using...even if you have to cut and shape the sandwiches to fill in the holes.... cover with a full layer of syrup....

unwrap and layer once again ice cream sandwiches to evenly cover the dish....

top with whip cream....

crush the peanuts and sprinkle them across the top of the whipped cream - top with sprinkles of your choice and freeze for 2-3 hours before eating. This is almost like lasagna in the sense that the longer it "waits" the better it is... I find it's best to freeze for 6-8 hours before cutting and serving. My best advice is to make this dessert and place in the freezer prior to starting your dinner.

JUST DEELISH!!
