Ingredients

• 1½ cups whipping cream
• 1½ cups real semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup salted butter
• ¼ tsp. vanilla
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 12 ice cream sandwiches, I used a generic brand from Winco
• 1 tub of cool whip, thawed
• 1 package of cherry jell-o, 3oz
• maraschino cherries to garnish as desired

Directions

• In a large sauce pan over medium heat, bring cream to a simmer. You do not have to stir but watch that it does not go past a simmer.
• Add chocolate chips and brown sugar. Stir until all the chips are melted, removing from heat when they are half melted.
• Add the butter, vanilla and salt. Stir until combined and the sauce is smooth without any sugar grains. Set aside to cool while you assemble the cake.
• Unwrap the ice cream sandwiches and set aside.
• Whisk together the cool whip and jell-o powder in a medium bowl.
• Layer the ice cream sandwiches and cherry frosting on a platter as desired. Different brands of ice cream sandwiches are different shapes and sizes. I placed four on the platter and then stacked the sandwiches three high. You can spread the cherry filling between the layers and on top, leaving the sides bare. There is enough cherry frosting to frost the sides and ends if you like.
• Drizzle some of the chocolate sauce over the top of the cake and garnish with cherries. Serve with leftover chocolate sauce. If the sauce becomes too cool, warm it gently in the microwave until it reaches a nice pouring consistency.
• Serve right away or freeze until ready to serve. Store leftovers in the freezer in a container with a tight lid and eat soon. Refrigerate leftover chocolate sauce (if you have any).
