[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mid-western dad moved to be closer to us last year and has dinner with us every night.  We eat MUCH differently than he is used to, and I can tell it bothers him so about once a month I pop one of these lasagnas in the oven with salad and garlic bread and he is in HEAVEN. He looks forward to that lasagna all month I think lol. [/quote]

Cute! We are in a similar situation - moved closer to Midwestern ILs. So I’m trying to cater to their tastes a little when they are guests of ours. If it were up to me it would be salmon and lots of vegetables, with a very dark chocolate something for dessert. But I’m not a guest and it’s not my birthday, so it’s going to be store bought lasagna and a funfetti ice cream cake topped with Cool Whip. Speaking of which, Cool Whip is another item I’ve never ever bought… for PPs who think I’m a lazy troll, I’m spending all my normal prep time looking up recipes and driving to stores looking for these products I don’t usually buy! And I’m still not 100% sure this Cool Whip dessert I’ve brainstormed is going to work. [/quote]
I wouldn’t spread the Cool Whip (and you know I’m pronouncing it “hwhip” in my head like all decent people do) on top. Just serve it on the side, but do thaw it as the other PP suggests. Otherwise it has a more ice cream like consistency and doesn’t look as pretty.[/quote]

I’m planning to bake a funfetti cake, layer it with ice cream, and cover the whole thing with Cool Whip and sprinkles before freezing. I’ll let it sit out for a few minutes before slicing and serving. [/quote]

I’m a baker, and this work as well as you hope. The reason is that if you bake your own cake and use butter, butter just doesn’t have the right mouthfeel when it’s cold. Maybe if you use a box mix that calls for oil it might be okay. But I am a person who loves making things from scratch and having the best ingredients but for ice cream cake? Carvel. Or look for a recipe that uses cookie crumbs or something like that instead of actual cake. [/quote]

Sorry are you saying this will work or won’t? I bought a box mix and will be using grape seed or safflower oil, I think. Honestly I don’t like Carvel (tastes chalky) so I was going to use store bought ice cream. And a kid only turns 5 once and he wanted funfetti with vanilla ice cream and sprinkles. [/quote]
