Berry-Spangled Dessert

Hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July.  Friends, Family, Fireworks, and Food-Just a few of my favorite F words!  I am always all about the cute and easy dessert.  This year to celebrate Independence Day, I made my favorite ice cream cake with a red white and blue twist.


Depending on how many people you are feeding will determine the size of pan and amount of ingredients you use. I used a 7x11 inch pan.  I washed and chopped 1lb of strawberries and rinsed off about 1/2 pint of dried blueberries.

Since I did use a smaller pan, I just needed a box of 12 ice cream sandwiches.  I layed half of them down to start the first layer.

Next, I covered the ice cream sandwiches in cool whip.  Then I drizzled chocolate syrup and warm caramel over the top.

Since we are decorating the top with our Flag decor, I did the next layer a little different.  Lay the last 6 ice cream sandwiches over the top and add the chocolate syrup and caramel directly over them.

Again cover with the whip cream.  Don't be stingy:)

Start decorating with the fruit.  Make the blueberries go down almost half way, this is so you can line up the first two stripes with it.

 After you get everything lined up.  I go back and add more blueberries and strawberries to cover up more white and give it more dramatic features.

I absolutely LOVE this cake because it is literally a 15 minute-to-make dessert and it is dressed to impressed!!
