Ice Cream Turtle Dessert with Hot Fudge Sauce

If you’re looking for a delicious, easy, ready to serve dessert, here you go!
 
 
Ice Cream Turtle Dessert is one of our family’s favorite treats that is layered and luscious! It’s quick to throw together and forget in the freezer until you need it. I’ve served it at parties, taken it to potlucks, and been glad to have it ready when friends stop by.
 
Ice Cream Turtle Dessert
 
  • 30 ice cream sandwiches
  • 1 (17 oz) jar butterscotch-caramel sauce
  • 1 (16 oz) whipped topping
  • 1-1/2 cup peanuts, toasted
  • whipped cream
  • cherries or berries
Toast nuts in a 350 oven, stirring once for 5 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully so they don’t burn. Place 15 ice cream sandwiches in a 13X9″ baking dish. Spread evenly with butterscotch-caramel sauce. Sprinkle 1 cup of toasted nuts on top and top with half of the whipped topping. Add another layer of ice cream sandwiches. Top with the remaining whipped topping. Cover well and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. Before serving make hot fudge sauce. Top each serving with hot fudge sauce, whipped cream and garnish with remaining toasted nuts and cherries or fresh berries.

  • 2 squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

    Good Morning, Gnee!

    This is some mighty fine looking breakfast food. Oh, it’s not for breakfast, you say. Aw, shucks! It does have lots of dairy. Guess I will just have to make it for a great dessert 🙂

    Laughing at the above comment about breakfast!

    It looks totally delicious, and since I think Turtles are just about the best candy taste ever, I am positive that it is. I’m wondering if you could even make it *somewhat* slimmer by using sugar free ingredients in some places.

    Wouldn’t want to ruin it though…

    To all my friends and followers, this and most desserts I can’t get near! The best part for me is that it’s in the freezer and I guess it’s that “out of sight, out of mind” thing. My husband can and does like to indulge in a little treat or popcorn each night. AND yes to Debbie’s comment about using no added sugar ingredients for this. I will make some low-carb desserts I enjoy in the next few weeks. Hugs to all of you, and take small bites!

    This is ingenious! I’m loving all these new reipes, Nee. I’ve made up quite a few. The pasta salad a few posts back was to die for.
    And I have to add that’s the cutest couple ever…kudos to the chic that whipped up that creation! xoxo
